Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20230202-47ACC-2147350983. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Frigidaire FGEH3047VFD. Source model text: FGEH3047VF. Incident: Frigidaire Gallery FGEH3047VF electric range purchased 8/27/2021, installed 8/28/2021. On February 1, 2023, preheated oven to 450 and placed potatoes inside to cook. Within minutes, entire range shut down due to breaker being tripped. Husband reset breaker and range did not turn on but did have �pop� sound. When we looked at rear of range saw wire lug mounts of main incoming power to range had burned up and melted. Called Frigidaire and they would not help other than to offer a repair company order which would not be paid for by Frigidaire. This product could have set my kitchen on fire and even if it could be repaired, I would not want to chance this happening again.
