RECALL
On July 30, 2026, Galanz Americas announced a recall of more than 121,000 7.6-cubic-foot retro refrigerators.
Here is how to check if you are eligible for a free repair.
Is your model number on the recall list?
Some of the electrical parts inside the affected refrigerators can short-circuit and start a fire.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 34 fires have been reported, including one death.
Even if your refrigerator seems to be working normally, it could still be part of the recall.
That’s why it’s important to check your model and date code rather than waiting for something to go wrong.

What Happens During the Galanz Recall Repair?

A qualified technician comes to your home to replace two electrical components at the back of the refrigerator: the starter and protector.
These parts help the refrigerator's compressor start and operate safely.

Your questions answered
Common questions
How do I know if my Galanz refrigerator has been recalled?
Check the model number and manufacturing date code on the label at the back of your refrigerator. Compare both with the recall information, then confirm eligibility through Galanz.
Is the Galanz refrigerator recall repair free?
Yes. Galanz is offering a free in-home repair for refrigerators included in the recall.
Can I keep using my refrigerator while waiting for parts?
No. If your refrigerator is affected, the official recall instructions say to unplug it and stop using it until the repair is complete.
Do I need to buy replacement parts?
No. The recall program supplies the replacement parts and ships them to the appliance owner.
How long does the Galanz recall repair take?
The service program estimates 30–45 minutes for the repair and required photos. Your total appointment time may vary.
Why does the technician need to take pictures?
The recall program requires photos to document the refrigerator, the repair, and the completion label. This helps confirm that the corrective work was performed.
Can AAA Appliance Service Center schedule my recall repair?
If AAA has been assigned your repair through the recall program, our team can help coordinate your service appointment after the replacement parts arrive.
If you haven’t registered yet, contact Galanz first to confirm eligibility and begin the recall process.
What if my Galanz refrigerator isn't on the recall list?
Not every Galanz refrigerator is affected. If your model or date code doesn’t match, check with Galanz for confirmation. If your refrigerator has a separate cooling or performance problem, you can contact an appliance repair company for help.
