Quick answer: To check if your refrigerator is under warranty, find the model and serial number inside the fridge, then match them against your purchase receipt or the manufacturer’s records. Most fridge warranties cover parts for one to five years, with longer coverage on the compressor and sealed system.
How to check if your refrigerator is under warranty
Three steps confirm it quickly.
- Find your proof of purchase. The receipt or order confirmation shows the purchase date, which starts the warranty clock.
- Locate the model and serial number inside the fridge.
- Contact the manufacturer with those numbers, or use their online warranty lookup, to confirm coverage and how much is left.
Where to find the serial number
The model and serial number sit on a label inside the fridge compartment, usually along a side wall, near the crisper drawers, or on the back of the unit. Write both down before you call, because the manufacturer will ask for them.
What a refrigerator warranty covers
Coverage varies by brand, but most follow a similar pattern. Labour is often covered only for the first year, so confirm the terms with the manufacturer.

|---|---|

| Sealed system | 5 to 10 years |
| Labour | Often 1 year |
| Extended warranty | Varies by plan |
What to do if it is out of warranty
If coverage has expired, an independent repair is often far cheaper than a replacement, especially on a fridge under ten years old. Our guide on repair versus replacement and our breakdown of refrigerator repair costs help you decide.
