Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220118-F9273-2147357936. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LG Electronics, USA LSE4613ST BSTLLGA (LG Electric Range). Incident: I was cooking food on my electric stove. I had the control set to medium heat, the liquids in the pot started to boil vigorously. I adjusted the control to low. I could see the burner cover glow more brightly. there was a loud "bang" that came from the back of the stove. The noise scared me, I turned off the burner control and asked my husband to disconnect the circuit breaker in the service panel just in case there was a fire. Contacted Better Living Hardware, asked if there was a recall on the stove. I was told "no". Instructed to call Jersey Appliance for repair services. Jersey Appliance replaced Infinity(?) switch, replaced "harness". Stove still does not work. Contacted LG Electronics when I learned that LG recalled 161K ranges in 2012 for the same problem. Waiting for LG to send rep to inspect stove, January 20 2022..
