Is Their A Recall Maytag Mah5500bww Motor Control

A recall on certain models. On March 21, 2007, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of about 250,000 Maytag-brand washing machines and about 20,000 Samsung-brand washing machines - both brands front loading washers -- due to a potential fire hazard.

To date, Maytag received five reports and Samsung received one report of incidents involving ignition in the circuit board. Water leakage onto the electrical connections to the washing machine's thermal sensor could cause an electrical short and ignite a circuit board, therefore creating a potential fire hazard to consumers.

All of the machines were made by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., of South Korea. The washers were sold at major department and appliance stores throughout the U.S. from April 2005 through August 2006 for between $1,000 and $1,200.

Brand Models and Serial Numbers

The Maytag washers have model numbers beginning with MAH9700 or MAH8700.

Maytag serial numbers ending in the last two letters identified below are subject to the recall:

2005 GA GC GE GG GJ GL GN GP GR GT GV GX 2006 JA JC JE JG JJ JL JN
The Samsung washers have model number WF306BHW or a model number beginning with WF316. Samsung serial numbers with the six-digit number 100001 through 799999 prior to a letter at the end of the serial number are subject to the recall. Consumers are advised to contact the Maytag and Samsung immediately and arrange for repair - do not return the washer to the place of purchase.
