Samsung Refrigerator Warranty: Everything You Need to Know
Worried about what happens if your Samsung refrigerator stops working or needs a repair?
Understanding your Samsung refrigerator warranty can save you time, money, and stress when unexpected issues arise. Samsung refrigerators come with one of the more generous warranty structures in the appliance industry — including up to 10 years of coverage on the compressor.
This guide covers exactly what’s covered, for how long, and how to make a warranty claim.
Samsung Refrigerator Warranty Coverage Periods
Samsung refrigerator warranties provide tiered coverage depending on the component. Here’s what’s included:
- 1 year — All parts and labor (general coverage, including ice maker)
- 5 years parts + 5 years labor — Sealed refrigeration system (compressor, evaporator, condenser, drier, connecting tubing)
- 10 years parts + 5 years labor — Digital inverter compressor
- 1 year — In-box accessories
Note: Coverage periods may vary by model. Always check the warranty documentation included with your specific refrigerator for exact terms.
Warranty Service: How It Works
This limited warranty applies only to products purchased and used in the United States that have been installed, operated, and maintained according to the product instructions.
To receive warranty service, you must contact Samsung with your original dated bill of sale as proof of purchase. Warranty service can only be performed by a Samsung authorized service center.
For large appliances, Samsung may provide in-home service at their discretion. If in-home repair cannot be completed, Samsung may arrange transportation to and from an authorized service center. For smaller products, transportation to the service center is the purchaser’s responsibility.
What the Samsung Refrigerator Warranty Does NOT Cover
- Normal wear and tear
- Damage from overuse, misuse, abuse, or accidents
- Products that have been modified or repaired by unauthorized parties
- Products purchased from unauthorized sellers
- Products used for commercial or non-residential applications
Samsung Care+ — Extended Warranty for Refrigerators
Samsung offers Samsung Care+ extended warranty plans for home appliances. For refrigerators, plans are available in 3-year or 5-year terms.
Samsung Care+ for home appliances adds:
- Coverage for breakdowns from normal wear and tear (not covered by the standard manufacturer’s warranty)
- Parts and labor coverage after the manufacturer’s warranty expires
- Power surge protection
The cost depends on the type of appliance and its purchase price. Samsung Care+ must typically be purchased while the manufacturer’s warranty is still active. Visit samsung.com/us/support or call 1-800-726-7864 to check availability and pricing for your specific refrigerator model.
