LG Warranty: Cost, Coverage and Plans (2026)

LG warranty coverage

LG’s standard manufacturer’s warranty typically covers defects in materials and workmanship for one year, depending on the appliance.

Warranty coverage by appliance type

Most LG appliances and products come with a one-year warranty for parts and labor. For instance, air conditioners, dehumidifiers and LG TVs all come with a one-year warranty.

Depending on the type of appliance you buy, some parts may have different terms.

Refrigerators

Most refrigerators come with a one-year warranty and a five-year parts and labor warranty for the condenser, dryer, connecting tube, and evaporator. Compressors come with a 10-year parts warranty and a five-year labor warranty. Some refrigerator models come with a two-year parts and labor warranty.

Washing machines

Most washing machines come with a one-year warranty and a 10-year warranty for the direct drive motor. They also have a three-year warranty on the stainless steel drum. The drive and drum warranty only covers parts.

Dryers

Most dryers have a one-year warranty and a three-year parts-only warranty for the drum. Some models also have a 10-year warranty for the dual inverter compressor and inverter motor.

Dishwashers

Most dishwashers have a one-year parts and labor warranty, with a two-year parts warranty for the main control board, racks and tub. They also have a 10-year parts warranty for the direct drive motor. However, some dishwashers have a two-year parts and labor warranty and a five-year warranty for the main control board, racks and tub, plus the same 10-year warranty.

Warranty coverage exclusions

LG warranties don’t cover:

• Damage from misuse, accidents or unauthorized repairs
• Consumable parts, such as filters, lightbulbs and fuses
• Replacement parts that aren't from LG

LG extended warranty coverage

LG also offers an extended warranty plan, called LG Premium Care, which lets you extend your warranty coverage for up to three years. Note that plan terms and conditions may vary depending on the model and your location.

LG Premium Care benefits

LG’s extended warranty comes with benefits like:

• Coverage for mechanical and electrical breakdowns
• Coverage for eligible in-box accessories
• Protection against damage from power surges
• Get up to a $300 reimbursement for spoiled food due to a refrigerator breakdown
• Free replacement if LG is unable to repair the product
• Support for filing claims 24/7
• No service fees or deductibles

LG Premium Care warranty cost

How much you’ll pay for LG Premium Care typically depends on the specific appliance model, though it may also depend on where you buy the plan or where you live. The table below shows estimated costs for LG appliances. To gather cost estimates, we looked at a range of LG appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, dryers and washers.

Also, LG frequently has promotions for its extended warranty plan, so you may be able to purchase coverage for a reduced price. For example, you may be able to get a one- to three-year plan for $10 to $70, though some plans are as little as $1.

Pros and cons of LG warranties

While LG covers its appliances with a one-year parts and labor warranty, it also backs up certain parts with additional coverage. Before getting an LG appliance, consider its warranties’ pros and cons:

LG warranty vs. home warranty alternatives

If you don’t want to purchase an LG extended warranty, or if you’re looking for additional appliance coverage, a home warranty can be a good alternative. Instead of just one appliance, a home warranty can cover:

• Systems like plumbing, electrical and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
• Appliances like dishwashers, washers, dryers, stoves, ovens and refrigerators
• Water heaters

However, unlike LG's warranties, home warranties generally require deductibles. Also, there might be limited or no compensation for food loss due to fridge breakdowns.

Bottom line

If you buy an LG appliance, you’re covered by the company’s one-year manufacturer’s warranty on parts and labor. Beyond that time frame, some parts are still covered, but you’ll need to pay for labor costs on repairs. If you’re looking for longer coverage or more appliance coverage, you may want to add an extended warranty or a home warranty.
