Magic Chef warranty for ice makers
The short version
Magic Chef covers ice makers in full for 1 year, then keeps compressor covered to 5 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 25 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Magic Chef's published warranty, checked October 2026.
