Frigidaire dishwasher warranty coverage and plans
Frigidaire dishwashers come with a one-year manufacturer's limited warranty that begins on the appliance delivery date. The warranty includes coverage for repairing or replacing any failures caused by defective materials and workmanship.
Some dishwasher parts are covered for more than a year. For example, stainless steel tubs and door liners get lifetime coverage, and the dishwasher’s racks and control module are covered for the second through fifth years after the delivery date.
Frigidaire also offers an extended warranty program. This no-deductible plan offers continuing access to certified replacement parts and Frigidaire-trained technicians.
With both the one-year limited warranty and the Total Appliance Protection plan, you must use a Frigidaire-approved technician for any repairs.
Warranty limits and exclusions
Frigidaire’s dishwasher warranty terms have limitations and exclusions that limit repair coverage. The warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship. Exclusions include:
- Appliances without the original serial numbers
- Improper installation
- Cosmetic damage
- Unauthorized repairs
- Rusty dishwashers
- Installation issues
- Pickup or delivery charges
- Repairs or replacement of light bulbs, air filters, water filters, knobs and handles
- Surcharges for after-hour, weekend or holiday service calls
- Mileage expenses for service calls
Only the original purchaser can make a claim. Warranties are not transferable and don’t apply to dishwashers sold “as-is,” which may include secondhand, refurbished or open-box appliances. You also can’t get repair under a Frigidaire warranty if you use your dishwasher for commercial purposes or move the appliance outside of the U.S. or Canada.
Frigidaire dishwasher warranty discounts
Frigidaire does not currently publish any discounts on its warranties. However, as of writing, the company had recently ended a special promotion that gave appliance buyers a second year of manufacturer’s warranty coverage for free. It may be worth checking back to see if a similar deal is offered in the future.
Frigidaire does offer some discounts on appliance purchases. Military families, educators, first responders and healthcare workers can get 10% off of Frigidaire appliances.
How to register a Frigidaire dishwasher warranty
You’ll need a few things before you can register your Frigidaire dishwasher.
- Model number
- Serial number
- Delivery date
You can find the rating plate, which includes the model and serial number, on the side of the dishwasher’s door or along the right side of the tub.
Once you’ve gathered the information, you’re ready to register. You can either fill out and mail the registration card that came with your dishwasher or fill out the online registration form.
Frigidaire dishwasher warranty cost
While Frigidaire’s limited warranty comes with your new dishwasher, the extended warranty’s cost may vary depending on the type of dishwasher you purchased and when you bought it.
To get a quote, you must enter the dishwasher type, price and delivery date on the Frigidaire extended warranty site. We were quoted around $57 for one year of coverage for a new, built-in dishwasher that costs $500, while a five-year plan cost $196.
How to file a claim for your Frigidaire dishwasher
To file a claim for your Frigidaire dishwasher and schedule an appointment with an authorized service provider, use Frigidaire’s online service booking tool.

Pros and cons of Frigidaire dishwasher warranties
Frigidaire dishwashers come with a one-year warranty that covers parts and workmanship. An extended warranty provides longer coverage.
Pros
- One-year limited warranty included
- Option to extend coverage
- Access to Frigidaire-trained technicians and certified parts
Cons
- Exclusions apply
- No major perks listed with extended warranty
- Extended plans can be costly compared to third-party alternatives
Frigidaire dishwasher warranty vs. home warranty alternatives
A dishwasher can last up to 10 years, and repairs can cost an average of $100 to $200 or more. Getting a home warranty to cover any repairs after your appliance warranty expires is often a good idea.
Home warranties cover repairs well beyond the warranty, and they also cover a wide range of appliances and systems in your home. It’s important to note that you will need to pay a deductible before each repair, though.
