⚖️ Pros & Cons

Parent company of Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana (similar coverage)

Large authorized service network nationwide

Sealed system coverage requires specific diagnosis

Some customers report slow claims processing

💡 Dwelltory Pro Tips

📌 Whirlpool also owns Maytag, KitchenAid, and Amana — One Rundown covers the family.
📌 Register at whirlpool.com within 30 days — Unregistered products still have warranty coverage but claims take longer to process.
📌 The 10-year magnetron warranty on microwaves is parts-only after year 1 — Still worth knowing before you replace a broken microwave.
📌 If buying a Whirlpool water heater, choose the model with the longest tank warranty you can afford — Tank failure is the #1 issue.
