Samsung TV Warranty (#1 Guide) : All you need to know

Did your Samsung TV suddenly stop working?

Before you shell out for costly repairs or replacements, it’s worth checking if your TV is still covered under Samsung’s warranty. Understanding your Samsung TV warranty can save you hundreds of dollars by covering repairs or replacements for manufacturing defects and malfunctions.

In this guide, we’ll break down what’s covered, how to file a claim, how to check your warranty status, and your options for extending protection.

How Long Is the Samsung TV Warranty?

Samsung TVs come with a 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor from the date of purchase. This applies to all current Samsung TV types: QLED, Neo QLED, OLED, Frame TV, Crystal UHD, and 4K/8K Smart TVs.

After a warranty repair, repaired parts carry a 90-day warranty.

What Is Covered Under the Samsung TV Warranty?

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship — manufacturing faults that cause the TV to malfunction through no fault of the owner. This includes:

Screen malfunction not caused by physical impact
HDMI port or input failures from a manufacturing defect
Power supply failures (TV won’t turn on, no power)
Audio failures due to a manufacturing defect
Capacitor defects causing picture or power issues

What Is NOT Covered?

Damage from misuse, accidents, or natural disasters
Screen burn-in (applicable to OLED models)
Power surge damage
Normal wear and tear on mechanical parts
Products purchased from unauthorized sellers
Damage from unauthorized modifications
Commercial use or use outside the United States

Note on in-home service: For TVs 37 inches and larger, Samsung typically provides in-home service. For smaller TVs, transportation to and from a Samsung authorized service center is the owner’s responsibility.

What to Have Ready When Filing a Warranty Claim

Proof of purchase showing the purchase date (receipt or bill of sale)
Model number and serial number of the TV
A clear description of the problem
Your name, address, and phone number

Important: If your TV is wall-mounted, you will need to dismount it before a technician visit — service technicians will not dismount the TV. If shipping the TV, use the original packaging or equivalent protective packaging.

How to Check Your Samsung TV Warranty Status

You can check your Samsung TV warranty status in two ways:

Option 1: Samsung TV Menu

Open the TV menu and go to Support
Select Contact Samsung
Sign in to your Samsung account
Select Warranty Information under your product — a pop-up will display your warranty expiration date

Option 2: Samsung Warranty Website

Go to samsung.com/us/support/warranty
Sign in to your Samsung account and view your registered products, or enter the TV’s serial number manually
Your warranty status and expiration date will be displayed
Click “Service Request” to initiate a warranty claim directly

Samsung warranty support number: 1-800-726-7864 (1-800-SAMSUNG)

How to Find Your Samsung TV Serial Number

On the TV: check the label on the back panel
On the TV menu: Settings → Support → About This TV
On the original box or packaging

Should You Consider an Extended TV Warranty?

A 1-year warranty on a Samsung TV — which can cost $500–$3,000+ — isn’t long. Many issues like screen burn-in (on OLED panels), power surges, and mechanical wear won’t appear in the first year.

Samsung offers extended protection through Samsung Care+ for TVs, available in 2-year or 4-year plans. These plans extend your coverage and add protection beyond the standard manufacturer’s warranty.

Third-party extended warranties are also available from retailers at the time of purchase (Best Buy’s Geek Squad Protection, for example). Prices from third-party resellers can be significantly lower than retailer plans.

Out-of-warranty TV repairs can be expensive — parts plus labor at an authorized service center can run $200–$500+ for a major repair. An extended warranty can pay for itself with a single service call.

About Product Registration

By consumer law, you are not required to register a Samsung product to receive warranty benefits. However, registering online at samsung.com/us/support makes it easier to check warranty status, track service requests, and receive recall notifications.

When registering, you only need to provide the minimum required information (name, address, and product details). You’re not required to fill in any optional personal information fields.
