I have a portable LG AC thats on recall and they created a website that says the process is real easy. Can do it online. Online portal lists a phone number to call. No one answers. No one calls back.

Fucking joke. Ready to go to social media.

Luckily my unit is not on this list, but I am relieved to see that some people were able to catch that theirs were and can exercise a higher level of caution or stop use altogether until getting new units. Stay stafe everyone.

Good job posting!

Yeah I had one still in the box without receipt so couldn’t prove age. My daughter took it and put it in her basement.
I think that was almost 5 years ago?

For recalls, they usually can go by serial number ranges.

Seriously though, these things are manufactured by the same company and are re-branded. This would be like the second or third recall for ā€˜fire’.

I think its energy star standards. Oh well im gonna uograde

Wow just checked and my model is 1 number away from being on the list :no_mouth:

I know this is old, but damn, so many.
How many of these consumer/residential dehumidifiers are ā€œmadeā€ by Danby? I think they might ā€œmakeā€ the Midea brand, as well.
