KitchenAid appliance warranty overview
KitchenAid offers one of the top home appliance warranties today — including for washers and dryers, ovens and microwaves. The KitchenAid Major Appliance Limited Warranty is available from the Whirlpool Corporation or Whirlpool Canada LP, depending on where you live and operate the machine.
The warranty is valid for one year from the date of purchase or delivery, though some components and systems may be covered up to 10 years or even a lifetime.
Refurbished products can also come with a warranty, but it is typically shorter than that of new products.
KitchenAid appliances are readily available from leading retailers such as Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe’s.
Through its W Service, KitchenAid maintains a network of local service companies with trained and certified technicians who can diagnose and repair appliances using genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts.
If your appliance malfunctions, your warranty will pay for repair by an authorized service technician. It provides Factory Specified Replacement Parts and repair labor, or full replacement, for pre-existing defects in materials or workmanship at the time of purchase. It may also cover mechanical or electrical faults, depending on the product.
