If your Elica kitchen chimney, hob, or built-in appliance has stopped working and you’re wondering how to actually get it repaired or replaced under warranty, you’re in the right place. This guide walks through the exact process, based on Elica’s published warranty terms, plus what to do if the process stalls.
Step 1: Check If Your Product Is Still Under Warranty
Elica’s warranty periods vary by product and model:
- Standard cooking ranges and built-in ovens: 1 year from the date of invoice
- Autoclean chimneys (many models): Lifetime warranty (15 years) on the motor, plus 5 years comprehensive warranty on other parts
- Older/basic chimney models: Typically 1–2 years, depending on the model and dealer
Check your warranty card or invoice for the exact terms of your specific model — coverage differs significantly between the entry-level and autoclean/BLDC ranges.
Step 2: Register Your Product (If You Haven’t Already)
This step trips up more people than anything else. Elica requires product warranty registration within three months of purchase on their official portal (myelica.in). Once registered, you receive a warranty registration number — save this, because Elica’s service team will ask for it on every future call.
If you missed this window, don’t panic — contact customer care anyway with your invoice. Many service centers will still process a claim using proof of purchase, but registration makes the process significantly faster.
Step 3: Gather Your Documents Before Calling
Before you contact customer care, keep these ready:
- Original purchase invoice (with date and dealer/platform name)
- Warranty registration number (if registered)
- Model number and serial number (found on a sticker inside/behind the unit)
- Photos or a short video of the defect
Step 4: Raise the Service Request
You can raise a complaint through:
- Elica’s toll-free number: 1800 233 0007
- The myelica.in customer portal
- Email to Elica’s customer support (listed on their official site)
- If purchased via Amazon/Flipkart, you can also request the platform initiate a brand service request
Ask for a complaint or ticket number and note it down — this is your proof of contact if things go sideways later.
Step 5: Technician Visit and Diagnosis
An authorized service technician should visit to inspect the product. Important: installation issues, wear-and-tear damage, and physical/liquid damage are explicitly excluded from warranty coverage. Only manufacturing defects are covered. If the technician cites “wear and tear” as the reason for rejection but you believe it’s a genuine manufacturing fault, ask for this in writing — it matters if you need to escalate later.
Step 6: Repair, Replacement, or Part Coverage
Under warranty, defective parts are typically repaired or replaced free of cost. Note that labor charges for installation/demonstration are not covered under warranty even if the underlying part is — this is a common point of confusion and disputed charges.
What a Normal Timeline Looks Like
Most straightforward claims (a motor fault, sensor issue, or auto-clean malfunction) are resolved within 7–15 working days of the technician visit. If you’re past 30 days with no resolution and no clear reason, that’s your signal to escalate.
If the Process Stalls
If your complaint has gone unanswered for weeks, or you’re being bounced between customer care and the local service center with no resolution, don’t keep repeating the same call. At that point:
- Send a written complaint (email) referencing your ticket number and demanding resolution within 15 days
- File a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline (1915 or via the UMANG app / consumerhelpline.gov.in) — this often triggers faster brand response since it’s tracked
- If still unresolved, you have the legal right to file a case with your local Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission

FAQs
Q: Is Elica’s warranty transferable if I bought the product second-hand? No — Elica’s warranty policy states it extends only to the first consumer purchaser and is not transferable.
Q: Does the warranty period pause if my chimney sits unused for months? No. The warranty period runs from the date of invoice regardless of usage, and is not extended for time the product spent unrepaired or unused.
Q: Are filters and consumables covered under warranty? No — filters, grids, and similar consumable/wear parts are typically excluded from warranty coverage and need periodic replacement regardless of warranty status.
Q: What if I lost my invoice? Try your registered email, the platform you purchased from (Amazon/Flipkart order history), or your bank/UPI statement as backup proof of purchase date.
