 Understanding Warranty Tenure by Leading Brands

Here’s a breakdown of the most common warranty durations offered across brands:

 1-Year Warranty

Most appliances come with a standard 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and functional issues. Some brands limit this to specific parts.

 2–3 Year Warranty

Many mid-range appliances offer extended coverage for 2 to 3 years, giving you peace of mind beyond the initial usage period.

 5-Year Warranty

Premium appliances may offer up to 5 years of coverage, including both parts and labor, often used to assure customers of long-term durability.

 Lifetime Warranty

Rare but valuable, a lifetime warranty implies coverage for the appliance as long as you own it. However, the definition of “lifetime” varies—always check the brand's exact terms.

 Warranty Types: What Do They Cover?

 Comprehensive Warranty

Covers both parts and labor. If a component fails, both the part and the technician cost are included—making this the most beneficial and worry-free option.

 Parts-Only Warranty

Only covers the cost of defective parts. Labor and service visit charges are not included. Cheaper than comprehensive plans but less coverage overall.

 Important Warranty Considerations

Always read the fine print – Every brand has specific exclusions, like damage from misuse, water exposure, or power surges.

Comprehensive ≠ Unlimited – Some parts may still not be covered even in comprehensive warranties.

Extended warranty plans – Optional and available on request, these can add 2–3 years to your appliance’s protection.

Don’t ignore documentation – You’ll need the original invoice and warranty card (preferably stamped) to make claims.

Legal options – In case of disputes, consumer forums often decide based on the wording of the warranty, not intent.

Understanding your appliance’s warranty helps prevent unwanted repair costs and gives you peace of mind. At Kitchen Brand Store, we not only help you choose the right appliance—we make sure you’re covered after the sale too.
