Incident: Tonight our Model 790 Sears Kenmore Electric Range exploded as we were cooking in the oven. The power cord burnt and exploded off the connection to the oven. There was a lot of smoke and lucky enough we were home and my husband turned off the circuit breaker to the oven. There was a loud popping sound and lots of smoke when this happened.

Incident: The consumer stated that his gas range is potential fire hazard. The range is a range oven combo with cast iron burners. The consumer stated that the range has a right front burner that becomes very hot if set to high. The consumer also stated that the oven can leak when cooking which has resulted in the glass from the oven door become more and dirty after every use. The consumer stated the overheating issues seem to be isolated to the range. The consumer called the manufacturer today and was told to call the CPSC. The manufacturer offered no further assistance. The consumer was also told that his model was not on recall.

Incident: Yesterday evening (9/8/2011) I was using my Kenmore oven which is less than 1 1/2 years old (but was installed by previous homeowners when we purchased our home 1 year ago) to heat up chicken nuggets for my kids. I set the oven to 425 and cooked them for 15 minutes. After that I shut the oven off and removed them and then closed the door. I turned around to walk back across the kitchen and feed my kids and as I got over to them there was a loud pop that sounded like a gunshot that came from the oven. I went back over to the oven to open it and make sure there was nothing inside that could have exploded and when I did I saw that the center piece of glass in the oven door had completely shattered. Fortunately no glass burst into the kitchen or into the oven, but I am afraid that if the center glass on a fairly new range could just shatter for no apparent reason, then the other glass on the door that they used in manufacturing could shatter as well. In the meantime I can't cook in my oven and glass fragments and dust are coming out of the bottom of the door and falling into the warming drawer. It is terrifying to think of what would have happened if the other panes shattered as well. My children were all about 5 feet from the oven door.

Incident: I bought a Kenmore electric range (model 790) in August of 2010. On August 31, 2015, the front oven glass door exploded throwing small glass pieces everywhere. I was just cooking some chicken in the oven at 350 degrees. I was lucky enough to not have been in front of the oven at the time. Had I been, I would have had bad injuries. I was also lucky in that my dog that usually lies in front of the oven when I am in the kitchen was not there either. Had he been, he would have had major injuries. I tried talking with someone at the Sears national number listed on the back of the manual for my oven only to get told they did not know how to handle such a thing and that I had to call my local store. After several tries to get a person on the phone here in Meridian, MS, I could never get anyone. I ended up having to go to the store in person. Unfortunately, no one there could help other than to replace the oven door which I would not want to do since this is NOT a normal wear and tear situation that I should be responsible to have to pay for. I found out online that the oven doors are apparently being made with inferior glass doors now and that hundreds of people are experiencing an exploding glass oven door. I feel, as others do, that this problem is due to a manufacturing defect and should be compensated by Sears. As I mentioned to you already, such an incident as this could have severely injured me or anyone else that could have been in front of that oven door when it exploded.

Incident: there were no injuries as I caught it in time . the microwave started running on its own but before it turned itself on I could smell wires burning then the light came on it wasn't turning it was just on smelling like it was going to catch fire . I unplugged it and flipped the breaker off at thd main .I called and Sears would not replace it as it was like 10 days out from the 1 year warranty but this same microwave in the counter top one had a recall for burn Hazzard so all of these may have had the same thing wrong from manufacturer. still to this day we haven't been able to replace it. I believe its the Megatron that burned out and this could have caught our home on fire had we been gone .Sears would not help us and I know had we been gone it would have caught fire .If they had the same recall on the countertop ones they need to see about this one as im probably not the only person this has happened to .
