Why It Is Important to Register Appliance Warranties

When you purchase a new appliance, whether it’s a washing machine, tumble dryer, oven, fridge freezer, or dishwasher, registering the warranty is one of the most important steps you can take. A registered warranty protects your investment, gives peace of mind, and ensures you receive the support you need if something goes wrong.

At Glotech Repairs, we’ve spent over 50 years helping homeowners across London, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and nationwide keep appliances running efficiently. Understanding the benefits of warranty registration is key to avoiding costly repairs and disruptions in daily life.

What Is a Warranty?

A warranty is a guarantee provided by the manufacturer that covers certain repairs or replacements within a specific period. It often covers faults caused by defective components or workmanship but usually excludes accidental damage, misuse, or wear and tear.

Registering your warranty ensures the manufacturer knows who owns the appliance and can provide timely service, spare parts, and support when needed.

Why Registering Warranties Matters

1. Access to Free or Reduced-Cost Repairs

Many manufacturers require warranty registration before offering free or discounted repair services. Without registration, you may be charged for repairs that would otherwise be covered.

2. Faster Response from Manufacturers

Registered appliances can be identified quickly by customer service teams. This speeds up booking repairs, obtaining parts, and resolving issues.

3. Proof of Ownership

Registration serves as proof of ownership, which can be crucial if the appliance is lost, stolen, or if there is a dispute over warranty eligibility.

4. Keeps Track of Warranty Periods

Most warranties are valid for one to five years, depending on the brand and appliance. Registering ensures you know exactly when your coverage expires, so you can act promptly if a fault arises.

5. Access to Extended or Additional Benefits

Some manufacturers offer extended warranty options, maintenance advice, or bonus services to registered customers. These benefits are often unavailable if the warranty is not registered.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not Registering Immediately – Some manufacturers require registration within a specific timeframe, often 28–30 days after purchase.
  • Losing Proof of Purchase – Keep receipts or invoices safe, as these are often required alongside registration.
  • Assuming Registration Happens Automatically – Many retailers do not register appliances for you, so it is the owner’s responsibility.
