GE dishwashers '97-'01 recalled

GE site info

GE built-in dishwashers sold under the following brand names: Eterna, GE, GE Profile?, GE Monogram®, Hotpoint®, and Sears-Kenmore. The dishwashers were sold in white, black, almond, bisque and stainless steel. The brand name is printed on the dishwasher?s front control panel.
Sold at: Department and appliance stores from September 1997 through December 2001 for about $400.

Recalled due to a fire hazard. "Liquid rinse-aid can leak from its dispenser onto the dishwasher?s internal wiring which can cause an electrical short and overheating, posing a fire hazard to consumers."

"Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and contact General Electric for a free repair, a $150 rebate towards the purchase of a new GE dishwasher, or a $300 rebate towards the purchase of a new GE Profile or GE Monogram dishwasher."

I have a GE purchased during that period, but my model # isn't on the list. Thank goodness. I hate recalls.

Cool ... our old GE is on the list & that $150 rebate sounds like it'll come in handy!
