What can I do if my IKEA product has quality problems?
All IKEA products undergo rigorous testing before going on sale. However, if something goes wrong and you detect a quality problem over time, you have an extended warranty period for a lot of IKEA products, in addition to the European Union's three-year legal warranty. Please note: Your product's warranty starts on the same day of purchase. Proof of purchase is essential to exercise the right to warranty.
Product quality and safety are a top priority for IKEA, and all of our products undergo rigorous testing before they go on sale. That's why IKEA offers Warranty Periods extended for many products, in addition to the European Union's three-year legal warranty.
If your IKEA product is not working as expected or you have detected a quality issue, please check your order confirmation/receipt first to see if it is covered by the European Union's 3-year legal warranty or an extended warranty listed on the IKEA website. IKEA guarantees.
If you can't find your order number or receipt and you used your IKEA Family card when making your purchase, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your IKEA Family account. (In Spanish)
- Go to the "Purchase history" section.
- Select the corresponding purchase.
- Click on "Download ticket".
Depending on the product and the problem, we recommend you visit the IKEA technical support pages, where you'll find information about common problems, step-by-step guides, and videos that can help you resolve the issue on your own. Help materials and troubleshooting guides are available for items such as appliances, PAX cabinets, VIDGA curtains, smart home products such as DIRIGERA, SYMFONISK, and many more.
If you've checked everything and still need help, please contact our IKEA Customer Service, either remotely or in-store, whichever is most convenient for you.
