Enhanced product reliability and durability combined with increased energy efficiency

[Seoul, Korea = Whowired] December 07, 2011 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, is providing a 10 year warranty for its digital inverter compressor in refrigerators and digital inverter motors in washing machines, marking the first time Samsung has offered a warranty for this length of time.

Samsung home appliances are eco-friendly, stylishly designed and equipped with convenient features. The 10 year warranty marks Samsung’s commitment to premium quality of its home appliance products. It also underscores Samsung’s dedication to develop advanced technologies that bring enhanced reliability and durability combined with an extension in life-span and enhanced energy efficiency to its intuitive home appliances which improve home life.

The Digital Inverter Compressor in Samsung’s refrigerators enhances efficient cooling performance while increasing energy savings for energy efficiency and optimal freshness; while controlling the noise level to reduce perceptible noise.

The Digital Inverter Motor in Samsung’s washing machines reduces noise and the loss of energy, thanks to the non-usage of a brush which leads to no friction, providing higher efficiency with enhanced durability while delivering a powerful performance.

The 10 year warranty will be applied globally, and any issues arising from the digital inverter compressor or motor will be covered free of charge by the local “after sales” service teams if a claim is submitted within the time of warranty.
