Never Mailed Those Appliance Cards? Online Registration Covers Everything.

Why Appliance Registration Cards Get Skipped

Moving into a first home is one of the most logistically overwhelming experiences adults have. Appliances arrive during the move-in window, paperwork stacks accumulate everywhere, and registration cards fall to the bottom of an ever-growing to-do list. By the time things settle, the cards are lost and registration has not happened -- for a refrigerator, washer, dryer, and dishwasher that collectively cost thousands of dollars.

Every major appliance brand offers complete online registration Online registration is faster and more reliable than mail-in cards Registration can happen months after purchase without penalty Serial and model numbers from appliance labels are all that is needed

Appliance Registration That Protects Your First Home Investment

Major appliances carry substantial warranties. LG refrigerators offer 10-year limited parts warranty on the compressor. Samsung washers offer 5-year direct-drive motor warranties. Whirlpool and GE typically offer 1-year full warranty plus extended coverage on specific components. These warranties are activated by registration and become the primary financial protection for some of the most expensive items in your first home. Without registration, initiating warranty service requires a purchase receipt and often a phone call to verify eligibility. With registration, service requests start online in minutes.

Where to Find Appliance Serial and Model Numbers

Major appliance serial and model numbers are accessible without moving the appliance. Refrigerators: inside the fresh food compartment on the door frame or wall. Washers: inside the door opening, on the door frame. Dryers: on the door frame or inside the door opening. Dishwashers: inside the door, visible when door is open and extended. All without moving the appliance from its installed position.

Refrigerator: inside the food compartment, usually upper left or upper right wall Washer: around the door opening frame -- visible with door open Dryer: inside door opening or door frame -- same location as washer Dishwasher: inside door, visible on door edge or interior side wall when door is open

Block a Registration Afternoon for Your First Home

A two-hour registration session covers every major appliance in a typical first home. Gather each appliance's model number and serial number (photos are the most efficient approach), then work through each brand's registration portal. LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, and Bosch all have dedicated registration portals. The confirmation emails become your permanent warranty file for the home.

Photograph each serial number label before starting registration session Create accounts at LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE as needed Register each appliance under its brand account Save all confirmation emails in a 'home appliances' email folder
