Most appliance warranties cover parts and labor for one year, with longer coverage on specific components like a fridge’s sealed system (often 5–10 years) or a motor. The key is to check what’s covered, for how long, and whether labor is included — because “10-year warranty” often means the part only, not the visit.
What to look for
- Full coverage period: usually 1 year, parts and labor
- Extended part coverage: sealed system, compressor, or motor (5–10 yrs, often part only)
- Labor included? many extended warranties cover the part but not the labor to install it
- Authorized service: some brands require an approved tech to keep coverage valid
Part-only coverage
If your compressor is under a 10-year part warranty but labor isn’t covered, you still pay for the diagnosis and installation — often $200–$400. Sometimes an independent repair is cheaper than the warranty route once you add it up.
Keep it simple
