General Electric is recalling more than one million dishwashers in the United States and Canada because of heating elements that can fail and cause fires. The Consumer Product Safety Commission in the U.S. said the recall includes about 1.3 million GE, GE Adora, GE Eterna, GE Profile and Hotpoint dishwashers, including 94,500 units sold in Canada. GE said it has received 15 reports of dishwasher heating element failures, three of which caused extensive property damage. No injuries have been reported. MABE Canada, a manufacturer and distributor of GE appliances, received three reports of heating element failures. The dishwashers, sold between March 2006 and August 2009 for $350 to $850, came in various colours.
