In general I have not seen very many warranties that transfer to new owners (our new roof back up North was an exception). As for the refrigerator and blinds, call the manufacturer and ask them, if you are lucky they will say yes and ask for the make, model and serial number. Ceiling fans (Hunter) typically have a long warranty, most other stuff is a few months to a year.
If you are told the warranties do not transfer, for the blinds you can ask for the local retailer and see if they offer service and get an estimate for the repair. I would check batteries and see if you can download the owner's manual to see if they have any trouble shooting advice.
