free Whirlpool warranty lookup
Is your Whirlpool still under warranty?
Works for Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana. Enter the purchase date for an instant answer. Add the serial number and you get the exact place to confirm it with the manufacturer.
What a Whirlpool serial number can and cannot tell you
Your warranty runs from the day you bought the appliance, and the serial number does not contain that date. That is why no website, including this one, can look up Whirlpool warranty status from a serial alone. Whirlpool can, because it matches the serial against registration and service records.
The serial can hint at when the unit was built. On most Whirlpool-family serials the second character is a year code and the next two digits are the week. But Whirlpool does not publish the key, and independent references disagree on what the letters mean, so we do not decode it here. A build-year estimate that might be off by years is worse than no answer when you are deciding whether a repair is covered.
How to confirm coverage with Whirlpool
- Copy the model and serial from the rating plate. Where to look is under the appliance picker above.
- Find the purchase date. A receipt, card statement, retailer order history, or installer invoice all work.
- Contact the brand with both numbers: Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, or Amana owners support.
Standard warranty length
Whirlpool-family appliances generally carry a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor from the date of purchase. Some product lines add longer coverage on specific components, and some Maytag lines carry a 10-year limited parts warranty on select components. We do not list per-model terms because they change by product line: the warranty page in your own manual is what governs your unit.
If the warranty has expired
- Check for a second warranty. Retailer plans, extended service contracts, and some credit cards add coverage on top of the manufacturer's. These run from purchase too.
- Check for a recall. A known defect is often repaired free regardless of age. Our free recall check searches the CPSC and FDA databases.
- Save the details before the next one. Model number, serial number, purchase date, warranty length. Five minutes now, and the question never costs you an afternoon again.

Common questions
How do I check my Whirlpool warranty by serial number?
Find the serial number on the rating plate, then contact Whirlpool through its owners support page with the model and serial number. Only Whirlpool can confirm coverage from a serial, because the warranty runs from your purchase date, which the serial does not contain. If you know the purchase date, enter it in the tool above for an instant estimate against the standard one-year warranty.
Can a Whirlpool serial number tell me how old my appliance is?
Roughly. The second character of most Whirlpool-family serials is a year code and the next two digits are the week, but Whirlpool does not publish the key and independent sources disagree on it, so any date you decode is an estimate. It also cannot tell you when the warranty started: that is the purchase date, and appliances can sit unsold for months.
How long is the Whirlpool warranty?
Most Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana appliances carry a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor from the date of purchase. Some models add longer coverage on specific components, for example some Maytag lines carry a 10-year limited parts warranty on select components. The warranty document in your manual is what governs your unit.
Are Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana covered the same way as Whirlpool?
They are all Whirlpool Corporation brands and share the same serial format and support structure, but each brand sets its own warranty terms by product line. Check the warranty page in your manual or the brand's owners support page for the exact coverage on your model.
