Samsung Appliance Repair in Rockford, IL

Updated

Short answer

Samsung appliances carry a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, plus longer coverage on key parts: refrigerators get a 5-year sealed system parts and labor warranty and 10 years on the digital inverter compressor part, and washers and dryers 10 years on the digital inverter motor (Samsung). On a Samsung washer, 4C means it is not filling and 5C means it is not draining.

Warranty

What Samsung's warranty covers

Samsung's home appliance warranty page describes a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, with refrigerators adding 10 years of parts coverage on the digital inverter compressor and 5 years of labor on the sealed system, and washers and dryers adding 10 years on the digital inverter motor, with other parts following the standard warranty (Samsung). Its refrigerator warranty page describes the 5-year sealed system warranty as covering parts and labor for the condenser, evaporator and compressor, and the 10-year compressor warranty as the compressor part only (Samsung). Warranty repairs go through Samsung's authorized technicians; check your coverage with your serial number on Samsung's registration page.

Model number

Where to find the model and serial number

Samsung asks for the serial number to look up warranty status. For washers and dryers it suggests a flashlight and a phone photo for labels in awkward spots, and the user manual or purchase paperwork as a backup (Samsung). See the model number guide for where tags usually sit by appliance type.

Error codes

What Samsung error codes mean

Meanings are Samsung's own wording, condensed. Codes vary by model, so confirm against your manual.
