Westinghouse is known for a variety of home products and appliances. The company’s branding appears on everything from cooktops and HVAC units to knife sets and TVs. Some Westinghouse offerings and policies are regionally dependent, which can make it challenging to determine the extent of warranty coverage on any given appliance.
Here’s Liberty Home Guard’s advice on how to find information on Westinghouse appliances warranty coverage.
Like most home appliance manufacturers, Westinghouse backs its products with limited warranty coverage. The general terms of coverage are standard for the industry. Westinghouse will cover the costs of parts and labor if an appliance needs to be repaired due to faulty components or poor workmanship. The typical exclusions apply. Westinghouse will not usually cover cosmetic damage, wear and tear, or misuse. The warranty is also likely to be void if you disassemble the appliance or attempt to repair it yourself.
The length of the manufacturer’s warranty is dependent on the appliance in question and your location. Often, simpler and less expensive appliances have a shorter warranty window. Westinghouse LCD and LED TVs and monitors, for example, have only one year of warranty coverage.
More complex and expensive appliances are likely to have longer-lasting warranties, though coverage for individual components may vary. Let’s look at a couple of examples. In North America, Westinghouse HVAC units have five years of coverage for all parts except compressors, which are warrantied for seven years. In Australia, Westinghouse washing machine repairs are handled by the company for two years after purchase. If the inverted motor fails, however, Westinghouse washer repair warranty service lasts for 10 years.
Your Westinghouse product should have come with a warranty card that describes the coverage terms and conditions. If you’ve misplaced that card, you may be able to find pertinent information on Westinghouse’s website. When in doubt, we recommend calling the company’s customer service line.
If your product fails while still under warranty, submit a claim to Westinghouse along with proof of purchase. The company must verify when you bought the product to confirm that its warranty coverage is still valid.
If the manufacturer’s warranty on your Westinghouse product has expired, you will have to find an alternative means of repair. While you can always hire a professional repairperson when a problem arises, you should consider extended warranty coverage through a third-party warranty provider. Extended coverage requires a modest monthly premium, but you’ll be protected from repair costs—even if your appliance fails because of wear and tear.
