Appliance Safety Recalls

Open safety recalls from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission covering the 10 brands below — the ones we service across Northern Virginia and DC.

If your appliance is on this list, do not call a repair company first — including us.

A recall remedy is provided free of charge by the manufacturer, usually as an in-home repair, a replacement part, or a refund. Contact them using the number in the recall notice. We would rather lose the job than charge you for work you are already entitled to have done for nothing.

How to check whether yours is affected

  1. 1. Find the model and serial number. They are on a data plate, not on the front panel: inside the door frame on a refrigerator or dishwasher, along the door opening or under the lid on a washer, and behind the bottom drawer or on the back on a range.
  2. 2. Read the recall notice itself. Every entry below links to the CPSC page, which lists the exact model and serial ranges. A brand appearing here does not mean your unit is included — most are not.
  3. 3. Contact the manufacturer, not a retailer. The remedy is administered by the manufacturer, and it applies whether or not you are the original owner and whether or not the appliance is still in warranty.

This page lists recalls for the brands we service. It is not the complete recall database — search all products at cpsc.gov/Recalls.
