The product, in the report: Refrigerator
My refrigerator caught fire on 11/4/13 at 3:00AM. My daughter awakened to get a drink of soda. She closed the refrigerator door and then heard a pop and sizzle sound. She then noticed smoke and the flame coming from the rear of the refrigerator. She immediately unplugged the power cord from the outlet and the flame and smoke stopped. She then woke me and upon examination I found the start relay that mounts to the compressor was melted along with the wire connections. This could easily have caused my house to catch since the refrigerator sits next to a wall. I was fortunate that my daughter was present when the incident occurred.
