Under the hood

Manufacturer-published terms. Nothing invented.

Every brand's warranty terms are sourced from the use-and-care documentation or warranty-registration page that ships with their standard residential refrigerators, current as of 2026.

  1. 01

    Standard parts + labor

    Every major US brand carries a 1-year parts-and-labor warranty as the residential baseline. After year 1, you pay labor on most claims.

  2. 02

    Compressor / sealed system

    5-year terms are typical industry-wide. Maytag and LG / Samsung linear-compressor units extend to 10 years (parts only after year 1).

  3. 03

    Registration timing

    Samsung asks owners to register within 15 days; most other brands start coverage automatically at the documented purchase date.
