Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25 · confidence: high

A step-by-step Whirlpool warranty claim: what to gather, who to contact, and what to do if you're out of warranty.

In short: whirlpool.com/services/warranty or Factory Certified Service; proof of purchase/install required. Have a dated proof of purchase and the serial number ready before you start.

What you'll need

A dated proof of purchase (receipt, order email, or card statement)
The product's serial number and model
A clear description of the defect — photos or video if you can
Product registration is helpful but usually not required

Steps to file your Whirlpool warranty claim

Gather your proof of purchase. Find a dated proof of purchase — receipt, order confirmation email, or a card statement showing the Whirlpool purchase. The warranty starts from that date, so it's the one thing you can't skip.
Locate the serial and model number. Whirlpool ties warranty status to the serial number. Check the device, its box, or the order email, then note the model too.
Contact Whirlpool. whirlpool.com/services/warranty or Factory Certified Service; proof of purchase/install required.
Describe the defect and get a case number. Explain the fault clearly (photos help), confirm it's a covered manufacturing defect, and write down the case, reference or RMA number you're given.
Return, ship or book the repair. Send the unit or book service exactly as Whirlpool directs, keep your tracking/booking, and hold onto every reference number until the repair or replacement is complete.

If your claim is denied or out of warranty

The usual reasons a claim is refused: the product is past its term, there's no proof of purchase, or the damage is accidental or cosmetic rather than a manufacturing defect (a standard warranty doesn't cover those). Consider a single-item appliance protection plan (e.g. Asurion Appliance+, Upsie) or, for a whole house, a home-warranty plan — and check whether the retailer or your credit card already added coverage before paying for a repair.
