Amazon Kids Fire Tablet Warranty
Like every other Amazon device, the Fire Tablet is covered by a limited warranty. Depending on the product model, the Fire Tablet’s warranties vary from 90 days to 2 years.
During the duration of an active warranty, customers can request that a defective tablet be repaired, replaced, or claim a refund.
Generally, Amazon Fire Tablets are furnished with varying limited warranties determined by the product model. For example, the 90-day limited warranty applies to the Fire Tablet (5th Generation), while the Fire HDX provides a one-year exclusive guarantee.
A worry-free warranty covers the kids’ selection of the Fire Tablet.
The worry-free guarantee for Amazon’s Fire Kids Tablet is the longest, provided with a two-year limited warranty.
You can request a repair, issue a replacement, or claim a refund under the worry-free warranty.

Does Amazon Fire Kids Cover a Cracked Screen?
Since cracked screens are considered user damage, the Amazon Fire Kids’ warranty may not cover cracked screens.
However, users that buy the two-year limited warranty Kids Edition Fire Tablet (aka the worry-free guarantee) can get their cracked screen replaced as the warranty covers this—no question asked.
So, if the worry-free guarantee is active, customers can claim a warranty for a defect in the device, including cracked screens, charging problems, blown-out speakers, etc.
The Fire Kids Warranty applies to defects in hardware functions and quality. But Amazon is not liable to cover damages from customers’ misuse, neglect, commercial use, damage from external repair, accidents, and other external causes.
However, there are situations where hardware issues may occur that are not directly caused by carelessness. For example, some Fire Tablets owners have complained of their screens cracking without the tablet falling on a hard floor. In cases like this, Amazon may tag it as a hardware defect and cover your return or replacement.
