June 8, 2026 — A consumer has reported a serious safety incident involving an LG LSEL6335FE electric range, where multiple burners activated simultaneously, failed to regulate heat, and could not be shut off using the control knobs. The incident necessitated the consumer unplugging the appliance to prevent continued heating and potential hazards.
Product Details
Incident Overview
On May 19, 2026, a consumer reported a critical malfunction with their LG LSEL6335FE electric stove. According to the report, the appliance began turning on multiple burners at once without user command. The heat from these activated burners was not regulated by the control knobs, causing them to remain intensely hot. Crucially, the stove occasionally failed to shut off even when the knobs were turned to the “off” position. To stop the uncontrolled heating and mitigate potential danger, the consumer was forced to pull the oven out from the wall and unplug it from the electrical outlet. This action was necessary to completely deactivate the appliance and prevent further heating.
Safety Concerns
This incident presents several severe safety concerns:
- Immediate Dangers: The primary and most immediate danger is the high risk of fire and severe burns. Unregulated and uncontrolled heat from multiple burners can quickly ignite flammable materials in the kitchen, such as towels, curtains, or food packaging. Anyone in close proximity, especially children or pets, could suffer serious contact burns from inadvertently touching the hot surfaces.
- Long-Term Risks: Persistent issues with a stove’s ability to regulate heat or shut off could lead to repeated dangerous situations, increasing the cumulative risk of a fire or burn injury over time. Even when unplugged, an underlying electrical fault could potentially pose a hazard if the unit is reconnected without proper inspection and repair.
- Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using or living in a household with this model of stove is at risk. Elderly individuals or those with limited mobility may find it particularly difficult to react quickly to an emergency or to unplug a heavy appliance like an oven. Children, who may not understand the danger of hot surfaces, are especially vulnerable to burns.
- Property Damage Potential: An uncontrolled heat source, especially one that cannot be turned off, has a high potential for causing significant property damage. A kitchen fire can spread rapidly to other parts of the home, resulting in extensive destruction and costly repairs.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own an LG LSEL6335FE electric range or a similar model exhibiting these symptoms, please take the following urgent steps:
- Immediate Steps: If your stove exhibits any of the described malfunctions (multiple burners activating unintentionally, unregulated heat, inability to shut off with knobs), immediately stop using the appliance. If it is actively heating uncontrollably, and you can safely do so, disconnect it from its power source by unplugging it or tripping the circuit breaker for the kitchen. Do not attempt to use the stove again until it has been inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
- How to Check if You Own the Affected Product: Verify your stove’s model number, which is typically found on a label located around the oven door frame, on the side of the drawer, or on the back of the appliance. Compare it to the model number LSEL6335FE.
- Prevention Measures: Until the issue is resolved, it is safest to avoid using the affected stove entirely. Ensure all smoke detectors in your home are functioning correctly. Keep flammable materials clear of the stove area.
- Reporting Procedures: Report any similar incidents directly to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov/incident. This helps the CPSC gather data and potentially initiate broader investigations or recalls. You should also contact LG Electronics, USA directly to report the malfunction and inquire about repair or replacement options.
