Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20141220-4B047-2147437711. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Kenmore Kenmore model no. 790.80323310. Source model text: 790. Incident: We have a Sears Kenmore Elite model 790 electric range. The shelves fall when any weight is put on them. I understand from online research this is a well known problem for Sears. I contacted them and they just pointed me to the parts department. It is a very hazardous situation because when hot things are in the oven and they fall it can burn someone. It is disappointing a company like Sears knows of this issue and yet refuses to acknowledge the problem or do anything to resolve it.
