Checking Kenmore appliance recall check records is a 3-minute task every Kenmore owner should do annually — here is the step-by-step process.
How to check if your Kenmore appliance is under recall — Kenmore has a long recall history spanning multiple OEM manufacturers. This safety notice explains how to find your appliance model number and verify its recall status with CPSC. This is a general advisory, not a product recall.
Why this matters
Kenmore appliances have been manufactured under contract by LG, Electrolux (Frigidaire), BSH, Gree, Galanz, Maytag, and Whirlpool — each with their own safety record. Multiple major Kenmore recalls remain open years after announcement due to low consumer response rates. Checking recall status takes 5 minutes and could prevent a house fire.
Step 1: Find your model number
- Refrigerator: Inside left wall of fresh food compartment, near top
- Dishwasher: Inside door frame, visible when door is open
- Range or oven: Behind the storage drawer, or back panel
- Washer or dryer: Inside the door opening, lid underside, or back panel
- Dehumidifier or portable appliance: Back or bottom label
Step 2: Search CPSC recall database
- Visit cpsc.gov/Recalls and enter your brand name (Kenmore) and product type
- Or call the CPSC hotline at 1-800-638-2772
- Cross-reference your model number against the affected models listed in any matching recall
- Check the OEM recall page too — if Kenmore was made by LG, check lg.com/safety; if Electrolux-made, check frigidaire.com/recall
Step 3: Register your appliances
Register each Kenmore appliance with the OEM manufacturer (LG, Electrolux, BSH, etc.) so you receive automatic recall notifications. Registration is free and the OEM can be identified from the model number prefix. If unsure who made your Kenmore appliance, contact Sears Parts Direct or Transform at 1-800-659-7026.
