Warranty

Summit (Felix Storch International or FSI) products are manufactured to provide outstanding value, and your satisfaction is our goal on every product. Summit appliances carry a one-year limited warranty on both parts and labor. All refrigerators and freezers carry a limited 5-year warranty on the compressor. 

Some models that are distributed but not manufactured by Summit carry the manufacturer's warranty (also one-year parts and on-site labor).

For details on specific warranty issues, please refer to the warranty statement included in your product's user manual, or contact us.

GENERAL PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY

FSI warrants, to the original purchaser of every new unit, the cabinet and all parts thereof, to be free from defects in material or workmanship, under normal and proper use and maintenance service as specified by FSI and upon proper installation and start-up in accordance with the instruction packet supplied with each FSI unit. FSI’s obligation under this warranty is limited to a period of 12 months from the date of original purchase. Select Accucold products carry a limited 24 month warranty on parts and labor. 

Any parts, covered under this warranty, that are determined by FSI to have been defective, within the above said period, are limited to the repair or replacement, including labor charges, of defective parts or assemblies. All service issues must be directed to FSI at service@summitappliance.com or by calling 718-893-3900. Service issues not directly assigned by and from FSI will not be covered under our warranty.

COMPRESSOR WARRANTY

In addition to the warranty period stated above, FSI warrants its hermetically sealed compressor to be free from defects in both material and workmanship, under normal and proper use and maintenance, for a period of 60 months from the date of original purchase. Compressors determined by a service provider paid for by the consumer to have been defective within this extended time period will, at FSI’s option, be either repaired or replaced with a compressor or compressor parts of similar design and capacity. The above said extended compressor warranty applies only to hermetically sealed parts of the compressor and DOES NOT apply to any other parts or components, including, but not limited to, cabinet, paint finish, temperature control, refrigerant, metering device, driers, motor starting equipment, fan assembly, or any other electrical component. In addition, FSI does not cover any labor costs for diagnosing, repairing or replacing a hermetically sealed compressor after the initial twelve (12) months from date of purchase.
