STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY

STATEMENT OF LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY 

Bosch Clothes Dryer

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to:

 

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances 

(“Bosch”) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty 

applies only to the Bosch appliance ("Product") sold to 

you provided that the Product was purchased:

For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, 

and has in fact at all times only been used for normal 

household purposes.

New at retail (not a display, “as is”, or previously 

returned model), and not for resale, or commercial 

use.

Within the United States or Canada, and has at all 

times remained within the country of original purchase.

The warranties stated herein apply to the original 

purchaser of the product warranted herein and to each 

succeeding owner of the product purchased for ordinary 

home use during the term of the warranty.
Please make sure to return your registration card; while 

not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the 

best way for Bosch to notify you in the unlikely event of a 

safety notice or product recall. 

Limitation for Third Party Accessories:

 

Third party accessories, other than those shipped with 

your Bosch appliance, and any consequential damages 

resulting therefrom, are not covered by this warranty. This 

limitation expressly includes the implied warranties of 

merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, 

which are also expressly excluded with respect to third 

party accessories, other than those shipped with your 

Bosch appliance. Use of third party accessories, other 

than those shipped with your Bosch appliance, does not 

void this warranty on any other part, and all other 

provisions of this warranty remain in effect. 

How Long the Warranty Lasts:

 

Bosch warrants that the Product is free from defects in 

materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred 

sixty-five days (365) days from the date of the original 

purchase. The foregoing timeline begins to run upon the 

date of the original purchase, and shall not be stalled, 

tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason 

whatsoever. This product is also warranted to be free 

from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship 

(such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain 

blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of 

the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date 

of purchase or closing date for new construction. This 

cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to 

inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as 

well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product 

location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty 

specifically excludes any display, floor, “As Is”, or “B” 

stock appliances. 

SCOPE OF EXTENDED LIMITED WARRANTY

Bosch will repair or replace, free of charge, any printed 

circuit boards, drive motor or component part of the drive 

motor that proves defective under conditions of normal 

home use during the first seven hundred thirty (730) 

days from the date of the orginal purchase, labor 

charges excluded. 

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy:

 

During this warranty period, Bosch or one of its 

authorized service providers will repair your Product 

without charge to you (subject to certain limitations 

stated herein) if your Product proves to have been 

manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship. 

If reasonable attempts to repair the Product have been 

made without success, then Bosch will replace your 

Product (upgraded models may be available to you, in 

Bosch’s sole discretion, for an additional charge). 

Nothing in this warranty requires damaged or defective 

parts to be replaced with parts of a different type or 

design than the original part. All removed parts and 

components shall become property of Bosch at its sole 

option. All replaced and/or repaired parts shall assume 

the identity of the original part for purposes of this 

warranty and this warranty shall not to be extended with 

respect to such parts. Bosch’s sole liability and 

responsibility hereunder is to repair manufacturer-

defective Product only, using a Bosch authorized service 

provider during normal business hours. For safety and 

property damage concerns, Bosch highly recommends 

that you do not attempt to repair the Product yourself, or 

use a non--authorized servicer provider; Bosch will have 

no responsibility or liability for repairs or work performed 

by a non-authorized servicer provider. Authorized service 

providers are those persons or companies that have 

been specially trained on Bosch products, and who 

possess, in Bosch’s opinion, a superior reputation for 

customer service and technical ability (note that they are 

independent entities and are not agents, partners, 

affiliates or representatives of Bosch). Notwithstanding 

the foregoing, Bosch will not incur any liability, or have 

responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote 

area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service 

provider) or is in a reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, 

threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or 

environment; in any such event, if you request, Bosch 

would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to 

the nearest authorized service provider, but you would 

still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or 

other special charges by the service company, assuming 

they agree to make the service call. 

Out of Warranty Product:

 

Bosch is under no obligation, at law or otherwise, to 

provide you with any concessions, including repairs, 

prorates, or Product replacement, once this warranty has 

expired.
