What’s wrong with it?
During extended broiling, gas can build in the oven cavity and escape when the oven door is opened. This poses a burn and possible fire hazard to consumers.

What should you do?
Consumers should immediately stop using the “broil” feature on recalled ovens and contact Transform for Kenmore branded products to schedule a free repair. Consumers may continue to use the “bake” feature.
