Appliance repair warranty: what to actually look for

What a real repair warranty covers, how long parts and labor should be guaranteed, and the questions that separate an honest shop from a cheap one.

By 1 min

A repair warranty is only worth what’s printed on the invoice. Before you let anyone put a part in your Samsung fridge or LG washer, know exactly what they’ll stand behind and for how long. Here’s the plain version.

What a good warranty covers

  • Parts. If the part we replaced fails again inside the warranty window, you get a new one at no charge.
  • Labor. If the same fault comes back because of the repair we did, the tech comes back on us.

What it doesn’t cover

  • A different, unrelated part failing later. A new drain pump doesn’t warranty your control board.
  • Physical damage or misuse after we leave.
  • Damage from a power surge. That’s usually a homeowners insurance question.
  • Manufacturer defects. Those ride on the product warranty, which is separate from our repair warranty.

Questions to ask any repair company

  • What’s the warranty on parts, and on labor? Get two numbers.
  • Is it written on my invoice, not just said out loud?
  • If the same problem comes back in six months, who pays?
  • OEM parts or aftermarket?

We put every warranty in writing on the work order. The $99 diagnostic is credited to the repair, and you get a straight repair-or-replace call before we order anything. Schedule a visit at (925) 999-4095.
