Kohler warranty for disposals & compactors
The short version
Kohler doesn't cover everything, but keeps 1 hp disposer and 3/4 hp disposer covered to 8 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 13 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Kohler's published warranty, checked October 2026.
