Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20180121-5A0BB-2147393513. Severity: Injury, Level of care not known. Matched catalog product: GE The model # is -JGBS60DEK6WW.. Incident: We ran the dishwasher after cleaning up the kitchen at approximately 10:00pm Saturday January 20, 2018. Around 10:15, we noticed an odor of electrical fire smoke while watching tv 2 rooms away. In the kitchen we found smoke coming from the top of the dishwasher. We disconnected the power and removed the unit. Upon disassembling the door to assess the damage we found the board had suffered too severe damage to repair. The counter top also suffered minor damage and our entire house had to be ventilated. The smoke was very irritating to myself and one of my children, enough to wake him from sleep in a panic. After purchasing a new dishwasher on January 21,2018, I decided to see if anyone else had this issue, so I googled �Ge profile dishwasher fire� and found this recall site.
