Total affected units exceeded $3 million. The most significant recalls involved [dishwasher](/blog/repair-or-replace-dishwasher) fire risks (GE, Whirlpool, LG) and range control knob hazards (GE, Samsung).</p> <h3>Which appliance brand had the most recalls in 2025?</h3> <p>Whirlpool Corporation (including Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana brands) and GE Appliances (including GE Profile, Cafe, and Monogram) each had the highest number of recalls in 2025. However, this correlates with their market share — they are the two largest appliance manufacturers in the US. Recall rate per unit sold is a more meaningful safety metric.</p> <h3>How do I register my appliances for recall notifications?</h3> <p>Visit each manufacturer's website and register your product with the model and serial number. You can also register with CPSC at cpsc.gov by creating an account. Most manufacturers also accept registration through their smartphone apps (Samsung SmartThings, LG ThinQ, GE SmartHQ, Whirlpool app). Registration ensures you receive direct notification when a recall affecting your product is announced.</p> <h3>What should I do if I think my appliance has a safety defect but no recall has been issued?</h3> <p>Report the issue to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov — this is the federal database for consumer product safety reports. Also contact the manufacturer directly. CPSC reviews all reports and may initiate an investigation that leads to a recall. The more reports filed for the same issue, the more likely CPSC is to act. Include photos, your model/serial number, and a detailed description of the defect.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Worried about your appliance?
