Jump to insightSamsung washer warranty coverage and plans
Samsung washers come with a rather limited manufacturer's warranty. We like that the motor is covered for 20 years under the free warranty. We recommend reading your warranty carefully, as several components are not covered.
Some retailers, like Costco or Sam’s Club, may have their own extended warranty terms. Samsung washer warranties cannot be transferred to another owner.

Samsung washer warranty limits and exclusions
Samsung washer warranties have quite a few limitations and exclusions. You should be aware that there might be a fee if you require a technician to visit your home for repairs. Exclusions include:
- External parts such as buttons, knobs and cables
- Accessories included with the washer, like hoses, filters and extension pipes
- Plastic and glass attachments, strainers, filters, feed valve joints, valves and piping
- Damage incurred during shipping

The warranty terms also say you must get service directly through Samsung. Authorized technicians or official service centers must conduct repairs or reinstallations.
How to register a Samsung washer
You’ll want to register your Samsung washer so that you can easily access warranty coverage, request repairs and receive product updates and support. Here’s how to do it:
- Check if your washer is already registered. If you bought your Samsung washer directly from Samsung.com or connected it to the SmartThings app, it may already be registered to your Samsung account.
- Go to Samsung’s product registration page. Visit Samsung’s official product registration page and sign in to your Samsung account, or create one if you don’t already have an account.
- Enter your washer’s information. Add your washer’s model number and serial number. These are typically found on a label inside the washer door or on the back of the machine.
- Submit the registration. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the registration process.
How to file a claim for your Samsung washer
You can file the claim by visiting the Repair Services page and clicking “Request a Repair.” If you’re signed in, you can also go to My Page and click the “Request Service” option. Samsung Care+ customers need to file a claim through the Samsung Care+ page or call the support center at 866-371-9501.
- Have your original dated proof of purchase.
- Contact a Samsung authorized service center or Samsung's customer support for a problem diagnosis.
- Ensure a Samsung-authorized technician performs all repairs.
Samsung washer warranty alternatives
Home warranties and the manufacturer’s warranty both protect your washer if it needs repairs. In addition to your washer, a home warranty can cover other appliances and systems, including:
- Garbage disposals
- Dishwashers
- Plumbing systems
- Refrigerators
- HVAC systems
- Stoves and ovens
- Dryers
- Built-in microwaves
- Water heaters
Samsung Care+ vs. home warranties
There are some additional things to consider when purchasing extended coverage. In addition to the yearly or monthly fee for a home warranty, you must pay a deductible for each claim. With Samsung Care+ and the manufacturer’s warranty, there are no deductibles. A home warranty plan costs about $60 a month. Samsung Care+ works out to between about $1 and $5 per month.
Care+ is also valid while your manufacturer’s warranty is still in effect, while home warranties typically only kick in when your manufacturer’s warranty expires. Most home warranty companies cover appliances of any age, which is a plus if you have older appliances or an older home.
A third-party home warranty might be worth it if you're looking to extend protection to multiple appliances.
