LG Warranty FAQs
What does LG’s manufacturer warranty cover in Australia?
LG’s manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship for products purchased in Australia by the original owner. Electronics are covered for 1 year, major appliances for 2 years, monitors for 3 years, and solar panels for up to 25 years. The warranty includes parts and labour for repairs or replacement at LG’s discretion. It doesn’t cover misuse, physical damage, installation errors, or wear-and-tear, so keep your proof of purchase ready to confirm eligibility.
How do I make an LG warranty claim in Australia?
To claim your LG warranty, contact LG Support on 1300 LG CARE or submit a Repair Request online. You’ll need your model and serial number, proof of purchase, and a description of the fault. LG may offer in-home service for large appliances or direct you to an authorised repair centre. Provide photos or videos for faster processing—having complete details upfront helps speed up your claim.
What is not covered under LG’s Australian warranty?
LG’s warranty excludes issues caused by misuse, physical damage, unauthorised repairs, poor installation, power surges, pests, or natural wear-and-tear. Cosmetic defects that don’t affect performance and missing serial numbers are also not covered. Only the original Australian purchaser can make a claim, so buying second-hand or overseas may void coverage. Always review exclusions before lodging your claim to avoid delays or disputes.
How long does the LG warranty claim process take?
Most LG warranty claims receive an initial response within one to two business days. Simple repairs can be resolved same-day, while complex cases may take up to two weeks depending on parts availability. LG keeps customers updated by phone or email throughout the process. If parts are delayed, LG may offer a replacement product to prevent long wait times.
