About 11,000 of these cooktops were sold at major home improvement and appliance stores nationwide, including Best Buy, Lowe’s and The Home Depot. If you think that you have one of these cooktops, contact GE Appliances at 1-877-261-1509 to verify if your appliance is affected and to arrange for a free installation of replacement burner knob assemblies.  Until the repair is made, you must turn off the appliance using your home’s applicable circuit breaker.  The appliance’s indicator lights do not indicate the true status of the burner. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2024/GE-Appliances-a-Haier-Company-Recall
