Frigidaire Dishwasher Warranty: Cost, Coverage and Plans (2026)

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 electronic 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 for an additional fee.

With both the one-year limited warranty and the extended warranty 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. Your Frigidaire warranty also will not cover repairs if you use your dishwasher for commercial purposes or move the appliance outside of the U.S. or Canada.

Keep in mind that covered repairs normally only include defects in materials or workmanship. To find out if a necessary repair is covered under your Frigidaire dishwasher warranty, you can contact an authorized service provider and explain the issue. A customer service representative may be able to confirm coverage over the phone, or you may need to schedule a technician visit.

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. You’ll also need to provide the appliance’s delivery date and some basic information about yourself. Frigidaire may require you to provide proof of purchase, such as a sales receipt or delivery invoice, when registering your product.

Once you’ve gathered the information, you’re ready to register your Frigidaire dishwasher. 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 Frigidaire extended warranty plan comes at an additional cost. The cost of the extended warranty plan 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.

While Frigidaire’s extended warranty plan is an additional cost to consider, it will likely be worth it if you end up needing repairs on your dishwasher. It costs about $200 on average to repair a dishwasher, which is significantly less than the quote we received for a year of warranty coverage.

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. The booking tool can also help you check your warranty status using your booking date, model and serial number.

If you need an in-warranty repair, check the “I have a protection plan” box on the form, and your coverage will be validated during the booking process. For out-of-warranty service, Frigidaire offers a Fixed Price Repair option, which charges a single price including labor, parts and travel. If you’re unsure what is wrong with your dishwasher, you can choose the Trip Charge Repair option, which charges a diagnosis fee that you receive back as a credit if you move forward with a repair.

Frigidaire offers a 60-day repair guarantee on its appliances, including dishwashers.

Pros and cons of Frigidaire dishwasher warranties

Frigidaire dishwashers come with a one-year warranty that covers parts and workmanship. An extended warranty from Frigidaire provides longer coverage for the same components and defects.

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.

If you’re concerned the Frigidaire dishwasher warranty is too short or doesn’t offer enough coverage, you could consider a home warranty plan. 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 or service fee before each repair, though.
