If you have purchased a new Vizio TV, then you should know that your TV will come with a one-year warranty for non-commercial usage, while the commercial usage warranty covers ninety (90) days.
If your TV becomes defective within the timeframe of the warranty, then Vizio will either repair or replace the TV at its sole option and discretion.
In the following sections, I’ll go over how to check your Vizio TV warranty and the subsequent steps you should take.
How Do I Check My Vizio TV Warranty?
You now know that Vizio TVs have warranties when they’re newly purchased, so if your TV has developed a fault, you can check if your warranty is still available to have Vizio fix the issue.
To check your Vizio TV warranty, look at the purchase date of the TV on your receipt or bank statement. You can also register your Vizio product on their website to check information about your TV.
If you have used the Vizio TV for non-commercial use, then you should count the start date from the date of purchase to the current date, but if you have used the Vizio TV for commercial use, then count 90 days from the purchase date.
Note that for your warranty to be valid, you must have installed, used, and maintained the TV according to the instructions without doing anything that must have caused the damage.
In the subsequent sections of this article, I will go into more detail, providing a step-by-step guide to checking your Vizio TV Warranty.
Date of Purchase
The first and easiest way to check your Vizio TV is by looking at the purchase date of the TV. You can check the date written on the receipt that you got when the TV was purchased.
If you have misplaced your TV receipt, you can check the date you purchased it on your bank statement.
This date will determine the period your warranty started counting, which will determine when it’ll end. If you have checked the purchase date of your Vizio TV, the next step is to check how long the warranty on your TV is going to last.
You can do this by going through the user manual for your TV. You can download the user manual from the Vizio manuals page by inputting your model number.
The warranty on Vizio TVs is mostly one year of non-commercial usage and ninety days of commercial use.
After you have checked how long the warranty is going to last, the next step is to compare the date of purchase to the current period when you noticed a fault. If it’s not up to one year for non-commercial use and ninety days for commercial use, then your warranty is still valid.
Online Product Information
You can find information about your TV on the Vizio website by registering your product. Here is how to register your Vizio product online.
- First, visit Vizio’s product registration page.
- Next, fill in your details with your TV’s serial number.
- Finally, click “Submit Registration.”
You can get your Vizio TV’s serial number by looking at the back of your TV.
If you cannot check your warranty by looking at the purchase date or through the Vizio website, then you can contact Vizio’s customer service for assistance. I’ll be sharing how to contact Vizio in the next section.
