Purchasing a new car, appliance or piece of technology is exciting. You got what you wanted at the best price. However, it is important to understand the warranty before making a purchase. The manufacturer’s warranty gives you peace of mind that your item will last for a certain period of time and that the company will repair or replace any defective parts. But what exactly does the warranty cover? The answer depends on many factors including where you purchased the item, how much it cost and whether there are any exclusions in place.
All warranties contain provisions that exclude certain kinds of damage and malfunctions.
Warranties are a promise by the manufacturer to repair or replace your product if it breaks. Warranties are legally binding agreements, but they aren’t the same thing as insurance. If you buy a warranty, it won’t cover things like normal wear and tear or damage caused by neglect.

All warranties contain provisions that exclude certain kinds of damage and malfunctions. For example:

• The warranty may not cover repairs made by anyone other than the manufacturer or its authorized service provider;
• The warranty doesn't apply if you don't follow instructions in the user manual when using your product; or
• The product may not be covered if it's used improperly (for example, driving with bald tires).

Warranties often exclude damage resulting from misuse or abuse.

If you've ever owned a warranty, you know that it can be tempting to take advantage of the coverage. But before you do, be sure to read the fine print to see what is and isn't covered. Warranties often exclude damage resulting from misuse or abuse. What does this mean?
Misuse (or improper use) refers to using something in a way it wasn't intended for by the manufacturer. For example, if your washing machine has a maximum load capacity of 10 pounds and you put 20 pounds of laundry in at once, this would be misuse because 10 pounds was not within the range recommended by the manufacturer.
Abuse refers to intentionally damaging an item beyond normal wear and tear—for example running over your car with another car or dropping a laptop on concrete repeatedly until its screen cracks—in order to get money back on your insurance policy (or launch some sort of lawsuit).
Damage as a result of alterations or customization may not be covered.
The manufacturer's warranty may not cover damage resulting from alterations or customization. For example, if you take your car in for an oil change and the mechanic damages the engine while changing it, you may be responsible for paying for the repairs on your own. This is because the dealer was not able to prove that any of their employees were negligent in causing this damage - they simply could not guarantee that their employees would perform a task without error and thus were not liable.
Parts not manufactured by the company are generally not covered under warranty.
As with other products, the manufacturer’s warranty on an appliance may not cover parts that are not made by the company. If you have a problem with your refrigerator or microwave and discover that it is due to a part failing or wearing out, contact the manufacturer directly.
If the manufacturer does not respond or is unable to help you, then contact the retailer for assistance.
