Whirlpool washers have a 1-year limited warranty covering parts and labor for manufacturing defects, plus extended limited warranties on specific components that vary by model. The standard warranty for most Whirlpool top-load and front-load washers like the WTW5010LW and WFW560CHW is 1-year full coverage where Whirlpool will repair or replace any part that fails due to defect and cover labor. After the first year, Whirlpool provides a limited 10-year warranty on the direct drive motor and stainless steel wash basket on many models, meaning they will provide the replacement motor or basket part free of charge but you will be responsible for labor costs to install it, which can be 150 to 250 dollars. Some higher-end Whirlpool models and certain Cabrio and Maytag branded washers that are made by Whirlpool include a 5-year limited warranty on the gearcase and 2-year on control board. Commercial-grade Whirlpool washers may have 2-year full warranty. This is similar to competitors like LG and Samsung that offer 1-year full plus 10-year motor limited, while Speed Queen offers longer 3 to 7 year full warranties. Whirlpool's warranty requires proof of purchase, proper installation per manual, and does not cover damage from misuse, improper water pressure, or using non-HE detergent. To activate warranty, register your washer at whirlpool.com and retain receipt. Extended service plans can be purchased for additional coverage.
