December 10, 2025 – A consumer has filed a third incident report detailing severe safety concerns with their LG LSEL6335F electric range, including an uncontrolled burner overheating and new issues with knob pulsations after a recall resolution. The reports highlight ongoing fire hazards and a lack of resolution despite prolonged communication with LG Electronics.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The consumer has reported a series of escalating safety incidents involving their LG LSEL6335F electric range. The first concern revolved around a previous recall resolution, which involved applying a sticker to prevent accidental bumping of the stove knobs, a solution the consumer found inadequate for preventing potential fires caused by unintended activation.
The second incident described a serious malfunction where a stovetop burner, initially set to a low heat for warming leftovers, spontaneously escalated to full high power. The consumer only became aware of the dangerous change after smelling burning, narrowly averting a potential kitchen fire.
Most recently, after LG replaced the knobs, a new issue has emerged: a “pulsating/vibration” on all the control knobs whenever the oven is in operation. The consumer states that representatives from LG have consistently acknowledged all three described incidents as significant safety issues. Despite working with an LG presidential liaison, a resolution to these persistent and dangerous malfunctions remains outstanding. The consumer emphasizes the immediate fire hazards posed by the range, expressing concern that the appliance could lead to serious harm or fatalities if not addressed swiftly.
Safety Concerns
The reported incidents with the LG LSEL6335F electric range present multiple critical safety concerns:
- Immediate Fire Hazard: The most alarming risk is the uncontrolled increase in burner temperature. A stovetop burner independently escalating to high heat can quickly ignite nearby combustibles such as dishtowels, paper products, or food, leading to a kitchen fire. Such fires can spread rapidly, endangering occupants and the entire property.
- Burn Injuries: Unpredictable high heat on the cooking surface poses a severe risk of contact burns to anyone using the appliance or inadvertently touching the hot surface.
- Property Damage: A kitchen fire initiated by a malfunctioning range can cause extensive damage to the appliance itself, countertops, cabinetry, and potentially the entire home, leading to significant financial loss.
- Inadequate Recall Resolution: The consumer’s dissatisfaction with the sticker-based recall resolution for accidental knob activation suggests a potential ongoing risk for unintended stove operation, especially in households with children or pets who might inadvertently bump controls.
- Unexplained Malfunctions: The new issue of pulsating/vibrating knobs, even after replacements, indicates deeper electrical or mechanical problems within the appliance, which could be symptomatic of underlying defects that contribute to other safety failures.
- Risk to Vulnerable Individuals: Children, the elderly, or individuals with limited mobility might be particularly vulnerable to these hazards, as they may not be able to react quickly enough to an unexpected fire or hot surface.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own an LG LSEL6335F electric range and are experiencing similar issues, or if you have concerns about its safety, please take the following actions:
- Stop Use Immediately: If your range exhibits uncontrolled heating, knob malfunctions, or any other signs of erratic behavior, discontinue use of the appliance immediately.
- Disconnect Power: If safe to do so, unplug the range or turn off the circuit breaker supplying power to the appliance to prevent unintended activation.
- Verify Your Model: Check the model number of your electric range, typically found on a label around the oven door frame, side, or back, to confirm if it is the LG LSEL6335F.
