"Not covered" items above are standard exclusions across nearly every extended warranty in the industry — we list them here instead of burying them in a PDF, because that's the whole point of this site.
Submit photos, model number, and a short description — average filing time is 4 minutes.
A certified local tech is dispatched from our network within your plan's response window.
The technician confirms the issue is covered; approved repairs are authorized same-visit in most cases.
If a unit can't be repaired economically, we issue a cash-out or replacement per your plan terms.

My dryer's drum motor went out 14 months in. Filed online on a Tuesday night, technician was out Thursday morning, no charge beyond the plan. The whole thing was less dramatic than I expected.
I compared four warranty sites before landing here. This was the only one that showed me the exclusions list before I paid anything. That alone earned my business.
Claim took two days longer than the estimate because of a parts backorder, but support kept me updated the whole time without me having to chase them down. Would still recommend.
No. Homeowners insurance covers sudden events like fire, theft, or storm damage to your home and belongings. An extended warranty (technically a "service contract" in most states) covers mechanical and electrical breakdown of specific appliances from normal use over time. The two are complementary, not interchangeable.
Across nearly every plan in the industry: pre-existing conditions present before enrollment, cosmetic damage, damage from misuse or improper installation, and consequential or secondary damage in most base tiers. We list every plan's exact exclusions in the Coverage Matrix tab above — not in a separate PDF you'll never open.
Most plans listed here have a 15–30 day waiting period from enrollment before coverage becomes active, which is standard practice to prevent people from buying a plan the day before a known breakdown. The exact number is disclosed before you enroll, not after.
It depends on the plan. Most plans require you to use a technician from the provider's certified network to keep claims auditable and pricing predictable. A few higher tiers allow you to use your own licensed technician and submit for reimbursement — this is flagged per-plan in your written quote.
If a covered item is deemed not economically repairable, most providers will either replace it with a comparable model or issue a cash settlement based on the item's depreciated value — never its original purchase price. This distinction is one of the most common sources of claim disputes, and we cover how to navigate it in our Claims & Disputes guides below.
Every plan listed on WarrantyBlog includes a minimum 30-day money-back guarantee from enrollment, provided no claim has been filed. After that window, most providers allow cancellation with a prorated refund of unused premium, minus an administrative fee in some states.
Takes about 3 minutes. We'll never sell your information, and there's no spam follow-up call queue — quotes arrive by email and text, and that's it.
