6 - YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON WATER HEATER

For six years from the date of purchase, if this water heater is installed and operated in a single-family home in accordance with the 

owner’s manual instructions and all local applicable plumbing codes, Sears will:

1. 

Supply free water heater parts for those that are defective in material or workmanship.

2. 

Supply a free water heater for one that develops a tank leak.  See notes below also.

For the second through sixth year from the purchase date, you must pay the labor cost for installation of parts or water heater.

For commercial, institutional, industrial or residential use by two or more families, the above limited warranty is only for two years. During 

the second year you must pay the labor cost for parts or water heater installation.

furnish a new water heater of comparable output as permitted by such governmental regulations; however, the Owner will be charged 

for the additional cost associated with the changes made to the replacement water heater design to comply with such governmental 

regulations.

Replacements and/or repairs furnished under this warranty do not carry a new warranty, and are only covered by the unexpired portion 

of the original warranty.
