What is Scan to Connect technology?

Scan to Connect technology utilizes a combination of technologies, a user's smart device scanner, and a QR code. The QR code is uniquely created and specially designed with specific information regarding your appliance. Scanning the QR code with a user's Smart device allows users to connect easily and register their Whirlpool appliances within the mobile app. CLICK HERE for information regarding QR code
