The standard warranty on washing machine parts will be entirely dependent on the nature of the part. In general however, there will be a set period of warranty for the performance of any parts. If the part fails or is not up to the specified standard, you have a right to have the part replaced or refunded.

In Australia you have a set of minimum consumer rights which cannot be affected by any aspect of a manufacturer’s warranty. So that, if Australian consumer law says one thing, the manufacturer’s warranty can’t say anything less than that. Warranty for spare parts will vary from a number of months to a number of years. With a replacement motor probably having a longer warranty period than a replacement fuse, for example. It is common for a washing machine repair service to quote a 12 month manufacturer’s warranty for all parts fitted.

The standard warranty will vary for different states and different companies and of course for different parts. Usually, however, they will cover the conditions under which a part for your washing machine may be considered under warranty, and the duration for which that warranty lasts. A spare part warranty for your washing machine parts may also contain special conditions for certain periods of the warranty. In the first or last year of the warranty, certain benefits may be available or unavailable, for example, full replacement in the first year.

Always check the warranty conditions for any spare parts, whether you are doing the work yourself or paying a washing machine repair service to do it for you.
