GE warranty quick reference

Use & Care/Customer Instruct

Customer instructs are covered for 1 year from the date of purchase. They will only cover this once per serial. Must have a dispatch!

Builder & Rental Product Warranty

Appliances delivered to consumers at new construction sites or new rental properties. The warranty period does not start until the home closing or lease start date. Basically, the warranty starts when the keys to the dwelling are provided.

Cosmetic Warranty

Cosmetic repairs are only covered for 7 days after the purchase date. Cosmetic repairs include scratches on doors, burnt out light bulbs, cracks in drawers, broken/worn knobs, and loose/broken handles. Consumable items such as water filters have a 30-day warranty only.

Commercial Warranty

Commercial products do not have a labor warranty. Check the Use & Care Manual for specific warranty terms & conditions.

GE serial-number guide

A valid GE serial number is two letters followed by six numeric digits. A final letter may appear after the six digits; that trailing letter identifies the manufacturing site and does not change the manufacture date.

Read the first two letters

  • First letter: manufacture month.
  • Second letter: manufacture year. The year code repeats every 12 years, so use the model, purchase history, and other claim information to choose the correct cycle.
