June 15, 2026 — A consumer has reported a critical safety failure involving an LG LSEL6333F Smart Slide-in Range, a model already subject to CPSC Recall 25-126 due to fire hazards. The incident details a severe thermal runaway condition on two front burners, a failure that the consumer states is not addressed by the current “Sticker Remedy” of the existing recall, raising new concerns about the effectiveness of safety measures for these units.
Product Details
Product: LG LSEL6333F
Incident Overview
The reported incident involves an LG LSEL6333F Smart Slide-in Range, manufactured in June 2022 (Serial 206MMK**), which is currently under CPSC Recall 25-126 for fire hazards. According to the consumer, the unit is now experiencing a secondary and distinct safety failure that the “Sticker Remedy” does not address.
Within a couple of weeks, two high-output front burners (the left, then the right) suffered a total loss of thermal control. When set to “Low” or “Medium,” these burners failed to cycle and instead remained at 100% intensity, glowing red hot indefinitely. The consumer notes that the burners only shut off when turned to the “Off” position, indicating a mechanical failure of the internal infinite switches or relays responsible for regulating heat. This uncontrolled maximum heat output poses an immediate and severe fire hazard and risk of the ceramic glass cooktop shattering, which the consumer believes is not addressed by the “warning sticker” provided as a remedy for the existing recall.
Safety Concerns
This thermal runaway incident presents several critical safety concerns:
- Immediate Fire Hazard: Unregulated, continuous maximum heat from a cooktop burner significantly increases the risk of igniting flammable materials, cooking oils, or food left on or near the stove, which could quickly lead to a kitchen fire.
- Risk of Ceramic Glass Cooktop Shattering: The extreme and uncontrolled heat, especially if prolonged, can cause thermal stress on the ceramic glass cooktop, potentially leading it to crack or shatter explosively. This could result in shards of hot glass being propelled, causing severe lacerations and burns.
- Burn Injuries: Unpredictable maximum heat poses an immediate risk of severe burns to anyone touching the cooktop or cookware on the affected burners.
- Property Damage Potential: Beyond fire, the intense heat could scorch countertops, cabinets, and other kitchen surfaces, leading to significant property damage.
- Inadequate Remedy: The consumer’s report highlights a crucial concern that the “Sticker Remedy” for the existing CPSC recall (25-126) does not physically address the mechanical failure of high-voltage electrical components causing this thermal runaway. This suggests that even recalled units, if only remedied with a sticker, may still harbor significant and distinct safety hazards.
- Who Might Be Affected: Any consumer owning or operating an LG LSEL6333F range, especially those manufactured around June 2022, could be at risk, even if their unit has already undergone the “sticker remedy” for the prior recall.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own an LG LSEL6333F Smart Slide-in Range, particularly one manufactured in June 2022, or any model subject to CPSC Recall 25-126:
1. Stop Using Immediately: If you experience any loss of thermal control on your burners, or if burners remain at high heat despite being set to low or medium, cease using the affected range immediately.
2. Unplug or Turn Off Power: If safe to do so, unplug the range from its electrical outlet. If it’s hardwired or you cannot safely reach the plug, turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the range at your home’s electrical panel.
3. Check Your Product: Verify if your LG LSEL6333F range is part of the CPSC Recall 25-126. Details of the recall, including affected serial numbers, are usually available on the CPSC website or LG’s product safety pages.
4. Contact LG Electronics, USA: Reach out to LG directly to report any ongoing issues, especially if they are not covered by the existing recall remedy. Be prepared to provide your model and serial number.
5. Report to CPSC: Report any safety incidents or concerns with this product to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. Your report helps the CPSC identify patterns and potentially initiate further investigations or recalls.
6. Do Not Attempt Repairs: Do not attempt to repair the range yourself, as this can be dangerous and may void warranties.

As of the current date, this response does not specifically address the reported thermal runaway failure, nor does it indicate any immediate action regarding the consumer’s assertion that the “Sticker Remedy” is insufficient for this particular mechanical failure.
