Major Appliances Demand Proper Warranty Registration

Baby boomers replacing washers, dryers, refrigerators, and dishwashers are making significant investments - often $800 to $3,000+ per appliance. Warranty registration for major appliances is not ceremonial: motor failures, compressor defects, and control board issues during the warranty period can represent $300-$700 in parts and labor that registration-backed warranty claims cover at no cost.

QR Code Registration Is the Modern Paper Card

Baby boomers who remember mailing warranty cards understand the intent - document the purchase for warranty and recall purposes. QR code registration delivers exactly that result, without the envelope or the wait. Point the smartphone camera at the QR code on the appliance or in the documentation, tap the link, enter name and email, and registration is complete in under two minutes.
A refrigerator compressor failure during the warranty period is a $700 repair or a $0 warranty claim. The difference is whether the appliance was registered when you bought it.

Major Appliance Recalls Happen More Than Buyers Expect

The CPSC issues major appliance recalls regularly - for dishwasher fire risks from control board defects, refrigerator ice maker flooding recalls, washer fire hazards from motor overheating, and dryer exhaust system fire risks. Registered appliance owners receive direct notifications for their specific model, with instructions for the available remedy before the issue causes damage.

Register Every Major Appliance. Protect Every Major Investment.

QR code registration covers every appliance in a baby boomer household - each one registered in under two minutes, all covered under one email address.

Register All Appliances in One Session

Baby boomers who purchase multiple appliances at once - or who have a kitchen full of appliances that were never registered - can use Bawte's QR code registration to cover all of them in a single session. Each appliance requires its own model and serial number (found on the door frame or back panel), but the email address is shared across the entire registration batch.
