QR Code Registration During Home Setup

Moving into a new home involves unpacking and setting up many appliances in a short window. QR code registration is fast enough to fit into the setup process without adding significant time -- and important enough to prioritize.

Scan each appliance's QR code during delivery or installation -- before the installer leaves QR codes appear on product boxes, on the product itself, or in the setup documentation Each scan takes 60-90 seconds to complete, including the form submission Registration confirmation emails serve as a digital record of what you own and when it was registered

Which Home Appliances Have QR Codes

Most appliances purchased in the last five years include QR codes -- either on the packaging or on the product's serial number label.

Refrigerators, dishwashers, and ranges: QR code on the box or inside the door frame Washing machines and dryers: QR code on the box or on the back panel HVAC systems: QR code in the setup documentation or on the unit's service panel label Smart home devices: QR code is typically the setup method -- scanning it starts both device pairing and registration Water heaters and major systems: QR code in the documentation package or on the unit label

A new home's appliances can be registered in under 30 minutes using QR codes -- scan during setup, submit the form, and warranty coverage plus recall alerts are active before you move in.
