American Standard Repair & Warranty

American Standard is a prominent manufacturer of plumbing fixtures for residential and commercial bathrooms and kitchens. American Standard manufactures toilets, faucets, shower systems, whirlpool tubs, and other products.

The American Standard warranty covers many of the repair or replacement costs for its products. We’ll look more closely at what it addresses, along with some extended coverage options that can help you maintain your American Standard appliances once the initial warranty period elapses.

What Does the American Standard Warranty Cover?

American Standard stands behind its products with a warranty against defects in manufacturing, materials, and workmanship. The extent of coverage, however, depends on the appliance or fixture.

American Standard showers are covered for five years from the date of purchase. This includes hand showers, electronic shower heads, shower systems, valves, and controls. Bathtubs have a longer coverage period of ten years, though the textured bottom surfaces are covered by only a one-year warranty.

American Standard toilets have more detailed warranty coverage. Any chinaware is covered by a lifetime warranty, but the mechanical components are covered for five or ten years, depending on the model. Toilet seats and electronic components are covered for one year.

Fixtures, parts, and accessories manufactured by American Standard are generally protected for one year from the date of purchase. Cast iron sinks, conversely, have a lifetime warranty.

The warranty only applies to residential fixtures and appliances. Warranty periods for commercial products are markedly shorter. American Standard warranties also apply only to the original user. The lifetime warranty on a kitchen sink, for example, cannot be transferred to a new homeowner.

 

What Does an American Standard Warranty Not Cover?

The default American Standard warranty does not cover damage from anything other than manufacturer defects, so it excludes normal wear and tear. The basic warranty also does not cover the cost of labor, though the optional extended warranty might.

How to File a Claim on an American Standard Warranty

Claims on the American Standard warranty are primarily handled by local American Standard dealers. The company suggests that if you wish to file a claim, you should visit the sales outlet from which you purchased the product. American Standard also requires proof of purchase should you submit a claim for repair, as the warranty only applies to the original owner of the product.

Tell the dealer the model number and the problem you’re having with your American Standard product. The dealer will review the issue and hopefully diagnose what’s wrong. If they approve the claim, the dealer will file it on your behalf.

You may also contact American Standard’s customer service line to report a problem with your product.  

American Standard Extended Warranty Overview

American Standard extended warranties are necessary if homeowners wish to affordably repair their fixtures and appliances after the manufacturer’s warranty is voided or expires. The company itself doesn’t provide this extended service, so consumers must sign up for American Standard protection plans with third-party providers.

However, it’s possible to extend coverage with a home warranty from Liberty Home Guard. It provides comprehensive warranty protection for virtually all appliances, systems, and fixtures within a home. A small premium guarantees repair or replacement coverage for appliances or fixtures that fail after months or years of normal wear and tear. 

Liberty Home Guard offers three plans for home warranties — Appliance Guard, Systems Guard, and Total Home Guard, which encompasses both. You can also obtain add-on coverage for parts and other unique needs. All plans cover damage from normal wear and tear, which is seldom the case with original manufacturer warranties.
