April 7, 2003

CPSC, Maytag Corporation Announce Recall of Kenmore Elite-Brand TRIO Model Refrigerators

PRODUCT: Refrigerator - Maytag Corp. of Newton, Iowa, is recalling about 6,000 Kenmore Elite-brand TRIO model refrigerators for testing and replacement.

PROBLEM: A screw located inside the refrigeration compartment on the left side of the refrigerator frame could pierce through the electrical wire harness insulation and pose an electrical shock hazard. All of these refrigerators will be tested by Sears service representatives. Defective refrigerators will be replaced at no cost to consumers.

INCIDENTS/INJURIES: No injuries have been reported. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.

WHAT TO DO: Sears already has contacted, by telephone or mail, the consumers who may have received an affected model to set up a free in- home inspection.
