Fisher & Paykel Recalls Gas Ranges Due to Burn Hazard

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of approximately 433 free-standing professional gas ranges manufactured by Fisher & Paykel due to a delayed ignition issue in the ovens. This defect can lead to the accumulation of gas, and subsequently, the oven door opening with force from combustion, presenting a burn hazard to users. The recall also includes about 70 units sold in Canada.

The affected products are 30, 36, and 48-inch stainless steel gas ranges, specifically identified by the RGV3 model series. These ranges are available in both natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas versions. Consumers can identify the recalled units by checking the serial number, which will begin with EEV, ERV, EAV, EYV, EUV, ELV, or RFV. The model and serial numbers are located on a rating plate situated either on the back of the appliance or behind the front kick strip. Specific model numbers include RGV3-305-N, RGV3-305-L, RGV3-366-N, RGV3-366-L, RGV3-304-N, RGV3-304-L, RGV3-486GD-N, RGV3-486GD-L, RGV3-488N, RGV3-488L, RGV3-485GD-N, and RGV3-485GD-L. The ovens in these models were manufactured between May 2025 and January 2026, with some specific models having earlier end dates for their serial numbers within this range.

Fisher & Paykel has received 18 reports detailing instances of delayed ignition, and one report of a minor burn injury associated with these ranges. Consumers are strongly advised to cease using the ovens of these recalled gas ranges immediately. The company is offering a free in-home repair service to address the ignitor issue. The cooktop burners on the ranges are safe to use.

These recalled ranges were sold nationwide at appliance retail stores, including Factory Builder Stores and Albert Lee Inc., between June 2025 and March 2026. The retail price ranged from $6,200 to $14,000.
