375,000 Frigidaire, Electrolux refrigerators recalled over choking hazard

WASHINGTON - Electrolux has recalled nearly 375,000 Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerators due to what the Consumer Product Safety Commission says is a possible choking hazard from the icemakers.
The ice level detector arm in the ice maker can break into pieces and fall into the ice bucket, posing a choking hazard, according to the CPSC.
Electrolux has received 185 reports of the ice level detectors breaking, including one report of gum lacerations.
The recalled models were sold at Lowe’s, Home Depot, and appliance stores nationwide and online at Frigidaire.com from April 2020 through March 2022 for between $1,200 and $4,300.
The recall involves 13 models of Frigidaire refrigerators and one Electrolux model refrigerator.
The refrigerators all feature an ice maker and come in stainless steel, white and black, ranging in width from 23 inches to 36 inches.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerator ice makers, empty the ice bucket and contact Electrolux to schedule a technician to replace the ice maker with one that has a polypropylene ice level detector, free of charge.
Owners may call Electrolux toll-free at 833-840-5926 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at IceMakerRecall@electrolux.com or online at www.icemakerrecall.com or at www.electrolux.com or www.frigidaire.com and click on “Recalls” at the bottom of the page for more information.
The brand name, model, and serial number for each unit are printed on a label located on the right panel in the interior of the refrigerator compartment.
