174,000 Frigidaire Gas Ranges Recalled Over Burn Hazard: What Home Cooks Need to Know

Advertisement

Electrolux Group recalled approximately 174,800 Frigidaire gas ranges in the United States on March 20, 2026, after the oven bake burner was found to ignite with a delay — building up gas that can combust suddenly and cause burns. Thirty injuries have been reported. If you own a Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery, or Frigidaire Professional gas range bought between June 2025 and January 2026, you need to check whether your model is on the list.

What the Recall Covers

The recall (CPSC Recall No. 26-333) covers 23 models sold under the Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery, and Frigidaire Professional brand names. Units were manufactured between approximately May 2022 and April 2023, and sold at Home Depot, Lowe's, and other national appliance retailers — as well as directly at Frigidaire.com — from June 2025 through January 2026. Retail prices ranged from $630 to $2,700.

The recall also applies to an additional 5,300 units sold in Canada.

The Hazard Explained

The defect is in the oven's bake burner. It can experience a delayed ignition: the burner fails to light promptly when turned on, allowing gas to accumulate in the oven cavity. When the burner eventually ignites, the accumulated gas combusts, creating a sudden burst of heat or flame. The CPSC documented 62 reports of this malfunction, 30 of which resulted in burn injuries to consumers.

The cooktop burners on the recalled ranges are not affected by this defect and remain safe to use.

How to Check Your Range

Affected units have serial numbers in the range VF52200000 through VF54399999. The serial number is printed on a nameplate located inside the drawer at the base of the range.

Model numbers in the recall include (among others):

  • FCFG3083AS
  • FCRG3083AD
  • FCRG3083AS
  • GCFG3060BD

A full list of 23 affected model numbers is available on the CPSC recall page and at GasOvenBurnerRecall.com, where you can enter your model and serial number to confirm whether your appliance is included.

What Consumers Should Do

The CPSC and Electrolux are advising owners to:

  1. Stop using the oven function immediately. The cooktop burners are safe, but the oven should not be used until the repair is completed.
  2. Check your model and serial number at GasOvenBurnerRecall.com.
  3. Contact Electrolux to schedule a free in-home repair. A certified technician will install a replacement bake burner at no cost to the consumer.

Contact Electrolux Group: - Phone: 866-291-7633 (Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–8 p.m. ET) - Email: [email protected] - Web: GasOvenBurnerRecall.com (enter your model and serial number to check eligibility)

Do not attempt to repair the burner yourself. Electrolux will send a qualified technician.

Why This Matters

Gas ranges are in use in roughly 40% of American homes. A delayed-ignition defect is one of the more serious appliance failures a home cook can encounter — the problem isn't always obvious until the burner actually lights, by which point accumulated gas can release a sharp flash of heat. Users who are reaching into the oven or hovering nearby when this happens are at real risk of burns to hands, arms, and faces.

The broad sale window (June 2025–January 2026) and mainstream retail channels (Home Depot, Lowe's) mean many households may own an affected range without realizing it. Anyone who purchased a Frigidaire gas range in the past year — or received one as part of a new-home package — should treat this as a priority check.

The repair is free and comes to you. There is no reason to delay.

Conclusion

Electrolux's March 2026 recall of 174,800 Frigidaire gas ranges is one of the larger kitchen appliance safety actions in recent memory. With 30 burn injuries already on record, this is not a precautionary notice — it's an active hazard. Check your serial number today, stop using the oven until it's repaired, and call Electrolux at 866-291-7633 to schedule the free fix.
