- Where: The recall is active in Canada.
Samsung has recalled more than 320,000 of its slide-in electric ranges as they pose a fire hazard, and have caused injuries.
The recall was published to the Health Canada website on Aug. 28, and applies to 326,250 Samsung Electric Slide-In Ranges with the model numbers listed here. The recalled ranges were sold from 2013 through August 2024.
The model number can be found on the inside upper left corner of the range door or inside the storage bin located on the bottom of the range.
According to the recall, humans and pets can accidentally activate the front-mounted knobs on the ranges, which poses a fire hazard.
As of Aug. 28, the company has received over 57 reports of incidents in Canada, and seven reports of injuries, the recall says.
Free set of knobs available
Consumers should contact Samsung Canada to receive a free set of knob locks or covers compatible with their model of electric slide-in range to install.
In the meantime, consumers need to take care with the recalled ranges, the company said.
“Consumers using the recalled ranges without knob locks or covers are cautioned to ensure that children and pets are kept away from the knobs, to not leave objects on the range when not in use, and to check that the knobs are off before leaving home or going to sleep,” the recall says.
Consumers with Wi-Fi enabled ranges can enable the “Cooktop On” notification on the Samsung SmartThings app to receive alerts on their smartphone when a cooktop burner is turned on.
On Aug. 15, Samsung recalled more than 1.1 million electric ranges in the United States as they can be turned on by accident, leading to extensive fire damage, injuries and death.
