Reported: March 27, 2003 Initiated: March 27, 2003 #03099

Product Description

The recall involves all Maytag Gemini Gas Ranges. The Gemini ranges are free standing, have separate upper and lower ovens, and come in white, black, bisque and a stainless finish. The "Maytag" and "Gemini" names and logos appear on the control panel. The recalled ranges have a model number of MGR6772 and a serial number with the alpha characters AJ through AX or CA through CC, both of which are located on a flip-up serial tag behind the upper left corner of the control panel.

Reason for Recall

The range can experience a delayed ignition flashback fire in the upper oven, which poses a fire and burn hazard to consumers.
