WASHINGTON – The potential for a power cord to overheat, which could cause a potential fire hazard, is the reason ASKO is recalling select dishwashers sold in Virginia.

Locally, the dishwashers have been sold at Furguson Enterprises, Southland Appliance, East Coast Appliance, Kitchen Disignworks and Noblett Appliance.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 26,600 units sold across the United States and Canada have been recalled.

To fix the hazard, ASKO will reportedly perform a repair to the issue.
