Reported: June 27, 2002 Initiated: June 27, 2002 #02189

Product Description

The recalled hot water dispensers are half-gallon capacity models, made in the USA and sold under various brand names, including In-Sink- Erator®, ISE®, Steamin' Hot®, Emerson®, Dayton™, ACE™, Kenmore® and Kohler™. The serial number (S/N) is printed on a specification plate attached to the metal holding tank. This recall involves instant hot water dispensers with serial numbers (some begin with two letters) 999- 10 or those that fall between 1000 and 3084000. One-third gallon capacity instant hot water dispensers manufactured by In-Sink-Erator are not involved in this recall.

Reason for Recall

Water can leak from the metal holding tank, wet insulating material and cause electrical arcing and heat build-up. This poses a fire hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should unplug their hot water dispensers immediately, check the serial number and contact In-Sink-Erator, if their unit is part of the recall. Consumers with affected units will receive a replacement insulation shield.
