Bosch refrigerator warranty: cost, coverage and plans 2025

Bosch refrigerator warranty coverage and plans

Your Bosch refrigerator is backed by a 12-month warranty for both parts and labor. Beyond that first year, you still get coverage for up to five years on specific components, including non-electrical parts. Bosch also provides a lifetime warranty on rust-through for stainless steel parts. Beyond the first 12 months, though, the warranty doesn’t cover any labor costs.

Bosch also offers an extended warranty, known as the Appliance Service Plan, which you can buy either before or after your initial warranty expires. With flexible term options, you can select an extended warranty for one, two or four years.

Warranty limits and exclusions

Bosch does have several limitations on its refrigerator warranties. For example, it doesn’t cover non-motor components such as handles, baskets, shelves and drawers. The warranty also excludes the following:

• Repairs for residents 100 miles or more from an authorized service provider
• Breakdowns due to rust or corrosion
• Breakdowns from accidents and misuse
• Repair is done by anyone other than a Bosch service technician

Bosch refrigerator warranty cost

With a Bosch fridge, the initial warranty cost is incorporated into the refrigerator's purchase price. While the cost may vary, Bosch offers a flexible payment plan, which means you can pay for the extended warranty gradually.

Something to note: There may be an additional deductible for each claim you file.

Pros and cons of Bosch refrigerator warranties

The original warranty for a Bosch refrigerator comes with several limitations and exclusions, but the Appliance Service Plan can add more coverage.

Bosch refrigerator warranty vs. home warranty alternatives

A home warranty is a lot like an extended warranty. Both Bosch's extended warranty and home warranty coverage start once your manufacturer's warranty expires and start 30 days after the plan purchase.

The major difference is the broader coverage of a home warranty. It covers not only your refrigerator but also other appliances, such as dishwashers, stoves, HVAC systems, washers and dryers. In most cases, a home warranty tends to come with a higher price tag because it provides coverage for a broader range of items in your home.

Bottom line

Bosch's refrigerator warranty starts with a one-year coverage for parts and labor. You can extend it further with its Appliance Service Plan, which protects non-electrical components for up to five years, along with a lifetime warranty on stainless steel.

If you’re picking between a home warranty and extended appliance coverage, consider what you can afford and whether you’d like any added coverage — while home warranties cover more items, they often come with a higher price tag.
