If your appliance breaks down, one of the first questions to ask is: Is it still under warranty? Knowing the answer could save you hundreds in repair costs. At Santana’s Appliance Repair, we’ve helped homeowners throughout Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Hutto, and Georgetown navigate warranty repairs quickly and affordably.
Here’s a breakdown of how to check your appliance’s warranty status, what different warranties typically cover, and how Santana’s can help—even if your warranty has expired.
How to Check If Your Appliance Is Still Under Warranty
Wondering if your washing machine, refrigerator, or stove is still covered? Try the following steps:
- Check your receipt or owner’s manual. Many major brands list warranty info in the first few pages of the manual or on a card included with your purchase.
- Look up the serial number. You can often enter the appliance’s model and serial number on the manufacturer’s website to verify warranty coverage.
- Call the manufacturer. If in doubt, give them a call. Most brands will tell you if your unit is under a standard or extended warranty.
Common Appliance Warranty Lengths by Brand
Here are typical standard warranty periods for popular appliance brands:
| Brand | Standard Warranty |
| Whirlpool | 1 year |
| LG | 1 year (parts/labor), 10 years (certain components) |
| Samsung | 1 year (parts/labor), up to 10 years on specific parts |
| GE Appliances | 1 year |
| Maytag | 1 year, with some models offering 10-year limited parts |
| Bosch | 1 year (varies by model) |
| Frigidaire | 1 year |
| KitchenAid | 1 year |
Always check the fine print—some brands offer extended or special coverage on motors, compressors, or sealed systems.
Standard vs. Extended vs. Special Warranty Coverage
Not all warranties are created equal. Here’s what to expect:
Standard Manufacturer Warranty
- Usually 1 year
- Covers parts and labor
- Applies to manufacturing defects, not wear and tear or misuse
Extended Warranty (Purchased Separately)
- Often extends coverage 2–5 additional years
- May be through the retailer or third-party provider
- Sometimes includes extras like annual maintenance or faster service
Special Warranty (Limited Component Coverage)
- Covers only specific components (e.g., a 10-year motor warranty)
- May not include labor or diagnostics
- Usually valid only if you register your product
