Kelvinator has been a familiar brand for more than 100 years, but the company doesn’t have the same presence in American households that it once did. Kelvinator was established in 1914 and produced refrigerators and other home appliances for many decades thereafter. In 1986, however, Electrolux purchased the company, eventually turning Kelvinator into a brand for commercial kitchens. The Kelvinator name is still used for some household products in international markets.
Do you have any Kelvinator appliances in your home or place of business? Here’s what you need to know about how to efficiently repair and maintain your equipment.
For North American consumers today, Kelvinator products are typically limited to commercial-grade equipment. The company is a major seller of chest freezers, workhorse refrigerators, milk coolers, chef bases, and other commercial kitchen equipment. These appliances come with limited warranties from the manufacturer.
Electrolux ensures that buyers of Kelvinator products do not have to contend with faulty parts or poor workmanship. Most modern Kelvinator appliances are warrantied for three years from the date of purchase, except for chest freezers, which are warrantied for one year. The compressors in all applicable Kelvinator products have longer protection with a warranty period of five years. If an appliance fails within the warranty period, Electrolux will arrange for a certified technician to repair the unit with authentic Kelvinator Commercial parts. In some cases, the company will authorize a total appliance replacement.
A manufacturer’s warranty has its limitations, even before it expires. Like most other manufacturers, Electrolux does not include coverage for appliance maintenance and damage from general wear and tear in the scope of its warranties. Such coverage can only come from an extended warranty through a third-party provider. An extended warranty also allows for the possibility of appliance protection long after the original manufacturer’s warranty expires.
