SUMMARY: A local woman, Anela Walker, experienced a terrifying incident when her Maytag Gemini oven spontaneously turned on and exploded while she was asleep, causing significant damage to her kitchen. She urged Maytag to recall the appliance after being unable to obtain a replacement or reimbursement. After the intervention of a news outlet, Walker received a new model, but investigations revealed numerous complaints about the same oven, with reports of overheating and fires occurring while units were off. Whirlpool, Maytag’s parent company, acknowledged the reports but stated such incidents are rare. Safety advocates emphasize that any serious incident should warrant investigation and potential recall.
