Traulsen warranty for refrigerators & freezers
The short version
Traulsen covers refrigerators & freezers in full for 6 years, then keeps hinges and handle housings and compressor covered for life. 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.
