If the table above doesn't display properly on your device, here's a full list of the models included in the recall on Health Canada's website.

To determine if your machine is on the recall list, you can find model and serial numbers printed on either the top of its inner door panel or on the right side of the dishwasher panel.

Anyone who owns one of these dishwashers is advised to stop using it immediately and call the Safety Recall Hotline at 1-888-965-5813 for a free inspection and repair.
