potentially-dangerous dishwashers were sold on the Island.

However, officials at Pearman Watlington and Co. Ltd. stressed the chances of one of the defective Maytag Corp washers appearing in Bermuda were remote.

Iowa-based Maytag announced on Thursday that up to 231,000 dishwashers made between March 28, 1994, and January 31, this year, could have an electrical fault.

"The potential problem involves a small electrical component in the base of the appliance which, under unusual circumstances, could malfunction and render the unit inoperable,'' Maytag said in a statement.

"In an extreme situation, a potential fire hazard could result from the malfunction. One fire involving minor property damage has been verified.'' But Mrs. Joan Hug, Pearman's vice-president of sales and marketing, said the chances of one of the machines being in Bermuda were remote. "We are checking our records and we are in touch with the company as well,'' she said.
