Bosch washer warranty coverage
Each Bosch clothes washer comes with a standard one-year limited manufacturer’s warranty that covers the entire appliance. Coverage begins on the original delivery date.
Bosch’s standard appliance warranty pays for the parts and labor needed to repair or replace a washer with defects in materials or workmanship. It covers both compact and full-size clothes washers.
Bosch washer warranty registration
You’re not required to register your Bosch washer to claim warranty coverage. But registering adds the appliance to your MyBosch account, where you can schedule service, access owner manuals and find replacement parts and accessories. You can also receive product tips and updates.
Registration can also act as proof of purchase should you need to provide it for a warranty claim or other noncovered repair.
How to register your Bosch washer
Before registering your Bosch clothes washer, you’ll need the model number, factory date (FD) number and Z-number on the rating label.
Bosch typically locates this information on a label inside the washer door, near the top. The model number is the longer of the two numbers listed. The FD number includes the first four digits that appear after FD. The last five digits of the FD number make up the Z-number.
Write these numbers down or snap a photo so you can complete registration as follows:
- Navigate to Bosch’s product registration page.
- Upload your photo of the label or enter the model number, FD number and Z-number manually.
- Enter the exact delivery date.
- Bosch will prompt you to create a MyBosch account on the next page or log in if you already have one.
Once you’ve registered your Bosch washer, you can find your warranty under the “My Appliances” section of your account.
Bosch washer warranty exclusions
Bosch’s washer warranty coverage excludes certain conditions or scenarios, including the following:
- Misuse
- Neglect or abuse
- Commercial use
- Cosmetic damage
- Unauthorized repairs
- Improper installation
- Normal wear items
If you have a home warranty plan, it may cover issues with your Bosch washer. Most home warranty coverage includes appliances like washers and dryers, but specifics vary by provider and policy.
Covered washer components typically include the drive motor, electronics and lid switch. Checking your home warranty to confirm what's covered can help you avoid paying for duplicate protection.
Bosch washer extended warranty
Bosch offers extended washer coverage through its Appliance Service Plan. After you register your washer, Bosch will mail you a customized offer with an invitation code that allows you to purchase a plan online. You can also call Bosch to ask about available coverage.
What Bosch Appliance Service Plans cover
A Bosch Appliance Service Plan provides one, two or four years of electrical and mechanical breakdown coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. Bosch-certified technicians complete covered repairs and arrange a replacement if parts are unavailable.
If you purchase a plan while the factory warranty is still active, you can use its laundry service benefit before the extended repair coverage begins. Bosch reimburses up to $50 if your washer is out of service for seven consecutive days.
Bosch will mail your plan documents within 30 days of purchase. You can cancel within the first 30 days for a full refund.
When should you buy extended coverage?
Purchasing an Appliance Service Plan is more worthwhile if you plan to keep your washer for two or more years, have a large household or live in a climate that’s not particularly friendly to appliances.
Significant and long-term use can wear down major components. Extreme heat and cold can also shorten a Bosch washer’s longevity.
You can purchase an Appliance Service Plan from Bosch at any time during the standard one-year warranty period. As long as you buy extended coverage before the limited warranty expires, you’ll pay no deductible for submitted claims.
If you want to purchase coverage outside of this period, Bosch retains the right to determine eligibility. If Bosch approves coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty expires, the plan has a 30-day waiting period and a $75 claims deductible.
Buy early and save
If you get extended coverage before your factory warranty expires, you won’t have a deductible or a waiting period.
How much does extended coverage cost?
Bosch doesn’t publish standard prices for its Appliance Service Plans. Instead, it mails you a customized offer after you register your washer. The cost varies by coverage term.
Plans purchased before the factory warranty expires have no deductibles or service call fees. If Bosch approves coverage purchased after the warranty expires, a $75 deductible applies.
To give you an idea of what to expect, home warranties cost $67 per month on average, plus about $100 per service call. However, a home warranty typically covers multiple appliances and home systems rather than only your washer.
