GE Appliance Recalls

GE Recall History — Chronological List#

The following table lists all major GE appliance recalls tracked in our database, sorted from most recent to oldest:

What to Do#

If you have confirmed your GE appliance is part of an active recall, follow these steps in order:

1. Read the specific recall notice carefully. Some recalls require you to stop using the appliance immediately (fire or gas leak hazards), while others allow continued use with certain precautions (avoiding specific modes or functions).
2. Document your model and serial number. Write down both numbers from the rating plate. Take a photo for your records. You will need these when contacting GE.
3. Contact GE using the recall-specific phone number. Do not use the general customer service line — the recall line has dedicated agents trained on the specific recall process. This number is listed in the recall notice.
4. Register for the free remedy. GE will arrange a free in-home repair, ship replacement parts, or offer a replacement unit depending on the specific recall. All CPSC recalls provide the remedy at no cost to the consumer regardless of warranty status.
5. If you experienced property damage or injury, file a report at SaferProducts.gov. This federal reporting system helps CPSC track the real-world impact of recalled products. You may also have legal rights to compensation beyond the recall remedy.

Is Your GE Appliance Recalled? How to Check#

Follow these steps to determine if your GE appliance is part of any active recall:

1. Find your GE model number on the rating plate — dishwashers: inside the door on the left side; ranges: behind the storage drawer; refrigerators: inside on the left wall
2. GE Appliances is now owned by Haier (since 2016) but continues to honor all recalls on GE-branded products
3. Check geappliances.com/ge/recall or call 1-800-432-2737 for recall verification
4. For the 2024 dishwasher recall, check if your model starts with GDT, GDF, GDT, DDT, or CDT
5. Do not use recalled dishwashers until the free repair is completed
6. Book a professional inspection if you smell burning or see scorch marks near any GE appliance

Understanding Recall Severity Levels#

Not all recalls carry the same level of urgency. Here is how to interpret the severity ratings in our recall database:

Where to Find Your GE Model Number#

The model number location varies by appliance type. Here is where to look on GE products:

• Refrigerator: Inside the fresh food compartment on the upper left wall, behind the crisper drawers, or behind the bottom kick plate.
• Washer: Inside the door frame (top-load: under the lid; front-load: around the rubber gasket). Some GE models also have it on the back panel.
• Dryer: Inside the door frame or on the back panel.
• Dishwasher: Left or right side of the door frame, visible when the door is open. Some models place it on the top edge of the door.
• Oven/Range: Behind the storage drawer (pull drawer out and look at the frame), on the oven door frame, or on the back panel.
• Microwave: Back panel (countertop) or inside door frame (over-the-range).

Always record both the model number and the serial number. Recall eligibility often depends on serial number ranges corresponding to specific manufacturing dates.

Frequently Asked Questions About GE Recalls#

Is GE Appliances the same company as General Electric?#

No. GE Appliances was sold to Haier Group (Chinese multinational) in June 2016 for $5.6 billion. GE Appliances continues to use the GE brand name under license and manufactures in Louisville, KY. Haier honors all existing warranties and recalls on GE-branded products.

How many GE dishwashers were recalled in 2024?#

Approximately 800,000 GE, GE Profile, and Cafe brand dishwashers were recalled in 2024 due to a fire risk from the heating element. Models manufactured between 2020 and 2023 are affected. The recall covers models with specific serial number ranges — check geappliances.com/ge/recall for the full list.

What is the difference between GE Profile, Cafe, and Monogram recalls?#

GE Profile, Cafe, and Monogram are all sub-brands of GE Appliances (Haier). Profile is the mid-tier smart line, Cafe is the customizable premium line, and Monogram is the luxury line. Recalls are issued by CPSC under "GE Appliances" and list all affected sub-brand model numbers in the same notice.

Will GE send a technician for free to fix my recalled appliance?#

Yes. For all active recalls, GE Appliances sends an authorized service technician to your home at no charge. They will inspect the unit, perform the recall repair, and verify safe operation. Call 1-800-432-2737 to schedule. For the 2024 dishwasher recall, expect 1-3 weeks wait time due to high volume.
