Dometic warranty for refrigerators & freezers

Dometic covers refrigerators & freezers in full for 3 years, then keeps compressor parts covered to 5 years. That full coverage is longer than most of the 78 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
