Investigator: List of dishwashers that caught fire
A class-action lawsuit claims that hundreds of homeowners have had dishwashers that spontaneously caught fire because of a defective design that the manufacturers have ignored for at least
four years.
The lawsuit specifically accuses Whirlpool and Sears, Roebuck & Co. of designing and selling dishwashers that the companies knew were defective as early as 2008.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is currently investigating, while the manufacturers have
yet to issue a recall involving those dishwashers.
Channel 3 News has combed through the lawsuit to identify the models specifically mentioned.
Here's the list by brand and model number:
Kenmore
Kitchen Aid
Model No. KUDS01DJSS0
Model No. 665.17584200
Model No. KUDP01
Model No. 665.16279400
Model No. KUDS01FLSS
Model No. KUDP02CRBS2
Whirlpool
Model No. KUDP01LWH2
Model No. GU1500XTLQ3
To file a complaint with the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, you can either call (800) 638-2772 or
visit SaferProducts.gov. Complaints for Whirlpool products can be made by calling the company at
(800) 422-1230.

for YOU to help save a life- possibly a
loved one, a friend or even yourself. The
volunteer firefighters and EMTs will be
serving a light meal to all that stop in to
donate blood. Enter to WIN 2 tickets to
the department’s monthly All-You-Can

give blood due to their iron being too
low. Here are some foods that may help
to boost your iron: green leafy vegetables, nuts, dried apricots, beets, beef and
raisins to name a few. The Wilmot Fire
Department is located at 204 Mill Street,
1 block from the intersection of US 62 &
US 250. For more information on the
