Gaggenau warranty for microwaves
The short version
Gaggenau covers microwaves in full for 5 years, with no partial coverage after that. That full coverage is longer than most of the 43 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Gaggenau's published warranty, checked October 2026.

Good to know before you buy
- Covers appliances in the US or Canada used in a home; later owners are covered too.
- If you live more than 100 miles from an authorized Gaggenau servicer, Gaggenau isn't responsible for the service trip.
- Gaggenau repairs first and replaces the appliance only if repairs don't work.
- Cosmetic coverage does not apply to display, floor, as-is or B-stock appliances.
