GE 12-Cup Digital Coffee Maker 169164 Unboxing Video
Unboxing and display video of the Walmart sold GE 12-Cup Digital Coffee Maker 169164.
Update: Nearly 1 million General Electric coffee makers sold at Walmart are being recalled after dozens of reports of overheating, smoking, burning and fires.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Thursday, said Walmart has received 83 complaints about the GE-branded coffee maker, including three reports of minor burns to consumers’ bodies.
The reports of property damage include a significant kitchen fire and damage to countertops, cabinets and a wall, said the CPSC.
The recall involves about 900,000 GE 12-cup digital coffee makers sold exclusively at Walmart stores nationwide.
The coffee makers, with the GE logo printed on the base, were sold in white or black from March 2008 through January of this year. The model numbers involved are 169164 and 169165.
Consumers are advised to immediately stop using these coffee makers and return them to any Walmart for a full refund.
My “clean” light on this model came on, and stopped making coffee yesterday.. any ideas? I took the filter out, cleaned it, but still won’t work…I didn’t save the book on how to work it, so I’m not sure what to do… thanks for your help!!!
Coffee Dad:When you say you cleaned it do you meen by hand or the auto clean. Try running the auto clean function. Pull out the charcoal filter. Fill the tank with 1/2 water and 1/2 white vinegar. Press and hold the clean button for three seconds and it should start to flash. It takes an hour to finish and you can’t stop it.
Excellent video. One question, is there a protective plastic sticker that has to be removed from the stainless area of the coffeemaker? It appears that it does, but I can’t locate how to take the darn thing off. And if it doesn’t, then I feel foolish and my stainless is dingy and scuffed before I have even used it. Thanks for your time and reply.
Coffee Dad: My coffee maker did not come with a protective sticker. The steel part is comparable to a stainless steel sink in color. No real scratches. Just brushed stainless.
