Scotsman warranty for ice makers
The short version
Scotsman covers ice makers in full for 2 years, then keeps compressor (scc/dce/scr/scv) and compressor (scn brilliance) covered to 5 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 25 brands we compared, which typically cover 2 years in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Scotsman's published warranty, checked October 2026.
