Inside the Warranty: What Our Refurbished Ovens Really Cover

Inside the Warranty: What Our Refurbished Ovens Really Cover

Erin McGill |

Buying a refurbished combi oven is a smart move, especially when you're trying to balance performance with price. But not all refurbished equipment is created equal… and neither are the warranties that come with them.

At CaterCombi, we believe peace of mind should come standard. That’s why our refurbished combi ovens include robust, transparent warranty coverage that rivals even some new equipment policies.

Let’s take a closer look at what our warranty covers, and how it stacks up against other options in the market.

What’s Included in a CaterCombi Warranty?

All our refurbished ovens come with a standard 3-month parts warranty. In some cases, extended coverage is available (up to 12 months), depending on the unit and your needs.

Here’s what’s typically covered:

Parts & Components

The warranty covers all mechanical failures, whether that is a heating element, fan motor, or a control panel the warranty will cover the cost of the replacing the part.

Labour Costs

The warranty covers parts only, so all labour costs aren't covered under our warranty. 

Installation 

Due to our Nationwide delivery coverage we are not able to do not provide an installation service, however there are several contractors up and down the country who we can recommend. (Improper installation is one of the most common warranty voiders!)

What’s Not Covered?

Our goal is transparency, so here’s what falls outside standard coverage:

Damage due to misuse, incorrect installation.

Cosmetic wear that doesn’t affect performance

Third-party tampering or electrical faults not related to the unit itself

Comparison: Our Warranty vs. The Rest

Supplier Type Typical Warranty
CaterCombi 3–12 months parts warranty
Private Seller (eBay, Marketplace) Usually none
New Oven Manufacturer 1 year+ (parts/labour)

Key difference: Many used dealers or auction platforms offer no after-sales support or repair policy. Once the item leaves their warehouse, you’re on your own.

In Summary

When you buy a refurbished combi oven from CaterCombi, you’re not just buying a piece of equipment, you’re buying into a reliable, backed-up solution for your kitchen. Our warranty is designed to give you peace of mind.
