CDA has issued a safety notice for the PC62SS American fridge freezer manufactured between March 2005 and June 2006. A potential component failure can in rare cases cause internal sparking and appliance damage. CDA is arranging free home-visit repairs for all affected owners.
Fridge freezers are among the most concerning appliances for fire risk precisely because they run continuously and cannot simply be switched off while waiting for an engineer. This makes it especially important to act on this notice promptly.
Which Appliance Is Affected?
Model
CDA PC62SS – American style fridge freezer
Manufacture dates
March 2005 to June 2006. Check the model and serial number sticker inside the fridge compartment to confirm the manufacture date of your specific appliance.
The fault
A potential component failure that can in rare cases cause internal sparking, which may result in damage to the appliance. CDA classifies this as a potential safety issue requiring a home inspection and repair for all units in the affected production period.
What to Do
-
Check the manufacture date. The model and serial number sticker is usually inside the fridge compartment on the side or rear wall. Confirm your appliance is a PC62SS manufactured between March 2005 and June 2006.
-
Contact CDA immediately. Call 01949 862012 or email [email protected]. CDA will conduct a more detailed review to confirm whether your specific appliance is affected and arrange a home-visit appointment if required.
-
Do not switch the appliance off unnecessarily. Unlike a washing machine or tumble dryer, a fridge freezer cannot simply be turned off while waiting – the contents will spoil. However, ensure your home is not left unoccupied for extended periods while the inspection is pending, and arrange the repair visit as quickly as possible.
The contact details above were published by CDA at the time of the original safety notice. As with many manufacturer safety programmes, these details may have changed over time. If you are unable to reach CDA via these contacts, try their main customer service line or current website to obtain updated contact details for the safety programme.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my CDA fridge freezer is affected?
The affected model is the CDA PC62SS American fridge freezer, manufactured between March 2005 and June 2006. Check the sticker inside the fridge compartment for the model name and manufacture date. If your appliance is a PC62SS from this production period, contact CDA to arrange a review and inspection visit.
Should I switch the fridge freezer off while waiting for the engineer?
This is more difficult with a fridge freezer than with other appliances because switching it off causes food to spoil. The fault is described as a rare risk rather than an immediate danger. The priority is to contact CDA promptly and arrange an inspection visit as quickly as possible. If you have other cold storage available, transferring the most perishable items and reducing the load on the fridge is a reasonable precaution while waiting.
Is the repair free of charge?
Yes. CDA organised a free home-visit repair programme for all affected PC62SS appliances. Contact CDA directly to confirm the current arrangements for the programme.
