Incident narrative
SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20231005-CFBF1-2147344822. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: Frigidaire Galaxy LGEF3045KFK (Frigidaire Glass top electric stove). Incident: We had a Frigidaire stove, serial no. VF51855576, model no. LGEF3045KFK, that had issues with the motherboard catching on fire twice. First incident was January 2022. Using the stove normal and the control board went out. When taken apart it was apparent that it had got hot and the wires were burnt. That was replaced on Jan.14, 2022. The part was 221.99. In August 23 of 2023, the control board went out again. Same situation as in January 2022. This time the incident just lead us to purchase a new stove. Obviously something is faulty with the stove as to why the control board keeps catching on fire and going out. This control board was going to cost 283.39 to replace. We just purchased a new stove to be on the safe side. The stove could of caused a house fire both times. How it did not is a blessing.
