What a Warranty Should Cover

• Parts: if the replaced part fails again within the warranty period, you get a new one at no charge

• Labor: if the same issue returns due to the repair performed, the technician returns at no charge

What Is NOT Covered by Repair Warranties

• New, unrelated failures on other components

• Physical damage or misuse after the repair

• Failures caused by power surges (covered by homeowners insurance in most cases)

• Manufacturer defects (separate from repair warranty: may be covered by product warranty)

Questions to Ask Any Appliance Repair Company

• What warranty do you provide on parts? On labor?

• Is the warranty in writing on my invoice?

• What happens if the same problem returns in 6 months?

• Do you use OEM parts or generic parts?
