"They were very knowledgeable and explained the possible things that could be wrong with the machine... They made every effort to be conservative and keep our cost down. They also explained the warranty time on the work." - Cross of Glory Baptist Church – Minnetonka, MN

What is Hobart Service?

Hobart Service offers kitchen maintenance and repair. We ensure that you will not have significant time spent out of operation when the unforeseeable and unfortunate happens — something in your kitchen breaks. Our emergency response services keep your kitchen up and running. We also offer unlimited service calls with our various coverage packages.

Extended Warranty

Hobart's extended warranty takes effect the minute your standard warranty runs out, and it is valid for another year after the standard warranty. This means you will have guaranteed coverage with no lapse after one year. Additionally, there are a host of benefits attached to Hobart's extended warranty policy, such as fixed annual maintenance costs as well as replacement parts under warranty. We guarantee that Hobart contracts cover replacement parts, with genuine factory parts, in order to ensure durability and optimal performance. Also, Hobart offers a nationwide computerized parts locator. What's more, the Hobart technician will travel to your location within 50 miles of a Hobart office during regular business hours for no charge.

Advantages of the Extended Warranty

The advantages of Hobart's extended warranty extend from the financial to the performance of replacement parts. For example, with the Hobart extended warranty, you can lock in your repair costs for a year after your warranty ends, preventing overly expensive and undesirable repairs. Also, properly maintained equipment performs better, for longer, and with greater overall productivity. With the Hobart extended warranty, small issues can be dealt with before they become bigger problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hobart extended warranty and how does it differ from the standard warranty?

The Hobart extended warranty extends manufacturer-backed parts and labor coverage beyond the standard warranty term for qualifying equipment. Where the standard warranty covers defects during the initial defined period, the extended warranty continues that protection after expiration — without requiring enrollment in a service plan. It is well-suited for operators who want coverage continuity without a recurring maintenance contract.

When should I purchase a Hobart extended warranty?

Extended warranty coverage must typically be purchased before the original manufacturer warranty expires. Hobart recommends evaluating extended warranty options at the time of purchase or during the initial warranty period. Waiting until after warranty expiration generally means transitioning to Time & Material service or a service plan rather than extended warranty coverage.

Does the Hobart extended warranty cover both parts and labor?

Yes. The extended warranty covers both qualifying parts and labor for covered repairs, providing coverage continuity comparable to the original manufacturer warranty. Specific terms, coverage periods, and exclusions vary by equipment model. A Hobart Service representative can provide a detailed coverage summary for your specific unit before purchase.

How does the extended warranty compare to a Hobart Service plan?

The extended warranty provides repair coverage continuity for qualifying defects — structurally similar to the original warranty, but for a longer period. A Hobart Service plan (Care, Assurance, or Prosurance) adds scheduled preventive maintenance and, depending on tier, broader repair coverage. Operators who want both planned maintenance and repair cost protection typically benefit more from a service plan.

Is the extended warranty available for all Hobart equipment models?

Availability varies by product line and model. Not all Hobart commercial kitchen equipment qualifies, and eligibility may depend on equipment age and condition at the time of purchase. Contact a Hobart Service representative with your model and serial number to confirm availability and receive a quote.
