Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160614-6FC7E-2147417798. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire Electric Range Model FFEF3054TS. Source model text: FPEF3081KF. Incident: The back side of my Frigidaire Electric Range started on fire. I was using the oven at about 325 when I smelled plastic burning. I then immediately heard a high pitched notice and an small explosion, there was fire shooting from the back of my Frigidaire oven. I was not using the cooktop, only the oven. I was lucky I was sitting with clear site into the kitchen when this happened! I had to call the Fire Department. I was lucky my family was not injured or killed! Frigidaire refuses to do anything about this range stating that it is not in warranty. This is a dangerous product!! Model #FPEF3081KFB, Serial #VF00271832. The real travesty about this incident is that this was a replacement oven for a previous Frigidaire range which also caught on fire in the same manner. I have an upgraded breaker box so that is not the issue. I wish to report this dangerous product!!!
