The following model numbers, UPC codes, and serial number prefixes are included in this recall: Model Number UPC Code Serial Number or Serial Number Prefix JP3030DJ4BB 084691809609 LT081195Q - LT081286Q MT- RT- ST- JP3030SJ4SS 084691809074 LT015466Q - LT015467Q LT048419Q - LT048420Q LT073851Q LT129159Q - LT129183Q MT- RT- ST- JP3030TJ4WW 084691809081 LT148064Q - LT148068Q LT118335Q MT- RT- ST- The model number, UPC code, and serial number of the cooktops are printed on the permanent on-product label located on the bottom of the unit, close to the front left burner location.. Recalled by Haier US Appliance Solutions Inc., d/b/a GE Appliances, of Louisville, Kentucky. Units affected: About 11,000.

The cooktop's burners can remain on after use, even after being turned to the "off" position, due to misaligned burner knob stems and fractured burner knob components that can exist in units manufactured between July 2022 and September 2022, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

Consumers should immediately contact GE Appliances to arrange for free installation of a replacement burner knob assembly. When not in use, turn the unit off at the circuit breaker. Do not leave flammable materials or empty cookware on or near the cooktop. In the affected units, the burner can remain on following use even after being turned to the "off" position. In this case, the "On" indicator light will not be illuminated, but the "Hot Cooktop" light corresponding to the burner will remain illuminated until power to the cooktop is turned off at the breaker switch.

This recall was issued by the CPSC on November 30, 2023. Severity: Moderate. Recall number: 24033.
