The hair dryer does work on some decals. However check with your hardware store for an adhesive remover. I have a bottle that works great but can't find the company name. The logo looks like the duct tape logo if that helps at all. Before trying that you can try using skin so soft or another oil which will work on some decals or tape.

Try the remover on an inconspicuous spot. We tried to remove the label from a small safe and after we managed to get the label off we were left with an extremely sticky residue. Go Gone removed only a little of the adhesive but what it did remove was the shine from the metal. I now hide the front of the safe with an Oriental rug.

Some stainless appliances have a lacquer or similar coating to combat the fingerprint syndrome. It's a bad practice, in my opinion, simply because of the potential for just what happened to McMann.

There was some glue residue from a Logo sloppily applied by the factory on our Electrolux FD fridge. Goo Gone took it right off.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I think I'll try the hair dryer approach first. I figure the moderate heat is unlikely to cause any harm to the stainless steel. I'll try heating an inconspicuous spot first though as mcmann suggested. I'll report back what happens, hopefully success!

A common practice in de-badging cars is to heat the badge with a heat gun (careful not to damage the paint!) and use a piece of dental floss between the badge and surface to work it loose. Goof-Off is another brand of 'goo' remover. Goo Gone and Goof-Off work with different chemicals. One may be better for stainless than another. I have better luck with Goo Gone but goof off seems milder.

Also, the badge may be attached with posts. If this is the case you don't want to bend it since you will be likely to keep it installed. I tend to think it is just 3M adhesive tape.

I Just used a piece of fishing line under the tag. It wasn't held on by posts and it came off after the line was pulled thru... Keeping line on a spool or tying to a couple sticks will save your hands btw.

3M makes an automotive trim adhesive solvent that won't attack lacquer. It should be available from any auto parts store that supports the body shop trade.

We bought a Whirlpool microwave and the logo was front, center and obnoxious. I used a hair dryer and nylon thread to work it off, then rubbed the extra adhesive off by heating it and rubbing with my finger. Finally used a tiny bit of goo gone. Thank you for your suggestions! I'm so pleased!

Can't believe I'm replying to this 9 year old thread BRUMP.LOL

Was looking at fridges yesterday and logo was my concern. Due to the different varieties I'm seeing on the finish, I'm hoping that said removal does not/may show a difference in the finish once the logo is removed

Heat from a hairdryer & floss worked perfectly. And I used a little goo gone lightly on the black stainless and it didn’t leave a mark.

KitchenAid logos are bolted on.. found out the hardway. Ridiculous they make the so big and obnoxious

Why can’t we have a logo free Kitchen :)

Does anyone know if LG logos are glued or bolted onto their ovens?

does the JennAir logo have holes behind it? Or just adhesive?

LG Logos are glued on. I easily peeled them off and rubbed off the remaining glue. Very simple.

Checking to see if anyone has attempted with Beko!

Same question for a GE microwave.

I have a Frigidaire and want to remove the logo because my stove is different brand. Want to remove the logo, but don’t want to damage it.

So did you do it and have a good outcome? I also have a new Frigidaire fridge and would like to try to remove logo

No issues whatsoever, just took my toile and didn’t use any tools.

No issues whatsoever, just took my time and didn’t use any tools. Good luck!

Michelle Dymek, lisarmorris9 - did you remove the Frigidaire logo? Did it come off ok? It appears to be a metal plate versus a sticker

Anyone know how Kucht logos are attached?

Have you tried to remove the Kucht logo? I just bought a stove and I’m wondering if I’ll be able to get it off.

After years of looking at the garish, crooked Maytag badge on our stainless steel fridge, I finally worked up the nerve to remove it. It took all of five minutes:

1. Heat the area with a blow dryer to loosen the adhesive
2. Work dental floss behind it back and forth to separate the badge from the adhesive
3. Remove the adhesive with Goo Gone. Be patient and gentle to not scratch the surface

There was a slight haze still on the fridge after the badge was off. I used a small amount Barkeepers Friend made into a paste and a very gentle hand with a paper towel. The haze came right off. A little stainless steel cleaner and the job was done. My mild OCD can focus elsewhere knowing I'll never have to tolerate ugly appliance badges again. In a world full of chaos, it's good to know that somethings can be fixed.

NOTE: Our logo was glued on. Some may have plastic pins that fit into holes in the appliance. Check with your manufacturer first.
