The fine print, decoded

What it leaves out

  • Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
  • Repairs are done in your home by an authorized InSinkErator service rep at no cost.
  • Coverage stays with the home, so a later owner of the house is covered too.
  • Keep your install or purchase receipt; without it the start date is set from the serial number.
  • Trying to repair it yourself voids the warranty.
