Frigidaire Gas Range Recall 2026: Full Model List + Serial Number Check

Recall at a Glance

On March 19, 2026, Electrolux Group — the Swedish parent company of the Frigidaire brand — announced a voluntary recall in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada. The recall covers freestanding gas ranges sold under three Frigidaire sub-brands: Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery, and Frigidaire Professional.

The failure mode is specific to the oven bake burner. The ignition system can fail to light immediately when the oven bake setting is activated, allowing unburned gas to accumulate inside the oven cavity before eventually igniting in a sudden burst. The cooktop surface burners and oven broil element are not involved in this recall.

All 23 Recalled Model Numbers

The recall covers 23 specific model numbers. "Frigidaire" alone is not sufficient — only these exact models are affected. Check your model number against this table before going further.

The model number is printed on the nameplate label on the front frame of the lower storage drawer. Pull the drawer out completely and look at the left side of the frame opening. The label also appears inside the oven door frame on some units.

Not on the list? If your model number does not appear above, your range is not part of this specific recall. Frigidaire has had prior recalls unrelated to this defect — run any model number through the ApplianceIQ recall check or search CPSC.gov/Recalls to verify current status for your unit.

How to Find and Check Your Serial Number

A matching model number is necessary but not sufficient. This recall only covers units manufactured within a specific production window — defined by the serial number range VF52200000 through VF54399999. A unit with a recalled model number but a serial outside this range is not recalled.

Where to find the serial number label

1. Pull the lower storage drawer all the way out until it stops.
2. Look at the front left side of the frame opening — the nameplate sticker is typically silver or white.
3. Both the model number (e.g., FCRG3062AS) and serial number (e.g., VF53481234) appear on the same label.
4. If the drawer label is missing or illegible, check inside the oven door frame along the left edge.

How to confirm your serial number is recalled

Recalled units have serial numbers beginning with VF followed by 8 digits. Check whether those 8 digits fall between 52200000 and 54399999:

If you want to simultaneously cross-check your unit against CPSC, Health Canada, and EU Safety Gate in a single lookup, ApplianceIQ's serial decoder and recall check does this automatically and returns a verified recall status with source attribution.

What to Do If Your Range Is Recalled

The remedy requires no out-of-pocket cost and no hauling the appliance anywhere. Electrolux will send a certified technician to your home to install a replacement bake burner assembly at no charge:

1. Stop using the oven bake function immediately. This includes Bake, Convection Bake, and any setting that activates the bottom bake burner. The cooktop surface burners and oven Broil setting remain safe to use.
2. Contact Electrolux Group at 866-291-7633 (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET), or register online at GasOvenBurnerRecall.com. Have your model number and serial number ready when you call.
3. Schedule the free in-home repair. Electrolux will arrange a technician visit. The bake burner replacement typically takes about one hour from arrival; no major disassembly is required.
4. Confirm the repair and keep documentation. Ask for a service record noting the repair was completed. Keep it with your appliance records.

Paid for a repair before the recall? If you paid a technician to diagnose or repair this exact defect before March 19, 2026, contact Electrolux at the hotline above. Document any paid invoices and service records; reimbursement for pre-recall repairs is handled case by case.

Why Delayed Ignition Is Dangerous

Delayed ignition is among the most hazardous gas appliance failure modes because the hazard is not always obvious until it happens. Here is the failure sequence at the component level:

On a functioning gas range, turning the oven to Bake signals the bake igniter to begin heating. The igniter glows to approximately 1,800°F within 60–90 seconds. At that temperature, the gas safety valve opens and the incoming gas ignites on contact with the hot igniter — typically within two minutes of turning the oven on. The result is a steady, visible flame in the oven bake drawer.

In the defective units, the igniter either intermittently fails to reach ignition temperature or the safety valve opens before ignition conditions are confirmed. Gas flows into the oven cavity without immediately igniting. Depending on how long the delay lasts — which can range from a few seconds to over a minute — a significant volume of unburned gas accumulates. When the igniter finally does reach temperature, all of that accumulated gas ignites simultaneously.

The result is a rapid pressure event: a distinctive "whomp" or "thud" sound, a flash of flame that may extend well beyond the oven opening, and in some cases visible scorching or burns to the oven interior. The 30 burn injuries connected to this recall were primarily to hands, forearms, and faces of consumers standing near or leaning toward the oven during startup.

Warning signs to watch for

• Oven takes longer than 2–3 minutes to produce a visible flame after being set to Bake
• A faint gas smell persists in the kitchen while waiting for the oven to come on
• A "whomp," "puff," or audible thump when the oven finally ignites
• The oven flame goes out mid-cycle and the igniter attempts to re-light
• Visible scorching or soot on the oven floor near the bake burner area

These signs on any Frigidaire gas range — recalled model or not — warrant stopping oven use and calling a licensed appliance technician.

For Property Managers, Inspectors, and Warranty Teams

The 174,800-unit scale of this recall means any residential portfolio of meaningful size statistically contains at least one affected unit. Model-number-only checks are insufficient — the recall is serial-range-specific, so physical or database verification of the serial number is required to confirm status on each individual unit.

Property managers

Pull your appliance inventory records and cross-reference any Frigidaire gas range against the 23 recalled models above. Units with model numbers that match but for which you lack a serial number require a physical inspection of the nameplate label. Prioritize any unit showing oven ignition complaints in maintenance logs — these may be the exact defect the recall describes.

For portfolio-scale recall verification — especially useful if you manage dozens or hundreds of units — ApplianceIQ's recall monitoring feature maintains a live database cross-referenced against CPSC and Health Canada. A single lookup returns model-verified, serial-verified recall status. See our property manager ROI guide for the broader case for systematic appliance tracking.

Home inspectors

Under ASHI and InterNACHI inspection standards, active CPSC recalls tied to documented burn injuries are material safety findings that should appear in the inspection report. The defensible standard is to record model and serial number for every gas range inspected and run a recall check at time of inspection. For the complete appliance workflow, see our inspector appliance checklist.

Warranty and claims teams

Any incoming claim on a Frigidaire gas range that matches a model number in the table above should be flagged for serial number verification before approving a repair or replacement payout. A unit under an active CPSC recall with a free manufacturer remedy should proceed through the recall path first — paying for a repair that Electrolux is obligated to perform for free creates unnecessary cost exposure.
