I'm not usually in for extended warranties, but with the whirlpool dryer in the set I purchased from them had a bad panel and pump replaced under warranty. since the warranty is expiring I wonder if more problems will crop up. The sales pitch is that they cover all labor and parts and will "fix it or replace it". Anyone take a closer look at Lowes extended warranty or get it? --172.59.xxx.xxx

I bought one on the el cheapo GE dishwasher we bought for our January turnover. Oh wait, that was HD sorry. Whole idea is nothing lasts these days so I am just trying it. --216.126.xx.xxx

Newer dishwasher have filter on bottom that has to cleaned where often if cleaning not done then drain hose becomes clogged up. With reverse pressure it is easy to clean. Even washing machines the drain hose can become clogged up. --207.236.xxx.xxx

I've not purchased these warranties but with the cost of appliances as they are it is something to consider. --172.59.xxx.xx

I believe extended warranties are another case of the "house always wins". However, a warranty for a rental property appliance sounds like a good deal, as the warranty doesn't cost more for a rental and the appliance will probably get a lot more use and abuse, then it will in your own home. --173.63.xxx.xx

Are the warranties still valid if it is a rental? --107.147.xx.xx

Called our guy - $150 and done. --173.28.xx.xxx

WMH I had that problem w my maytag washing machine under warranty. There was only one rep for quite a large area and he was only my way once a week. Took 3 or 4 visits to fix. The local appliance guy is not keeping up. He told me technicians have to register w different company programs and need to plug laptops into appliances to reset them and you need the companies software to do it. --172.59.xxx.xxx

My used appliance guy refuses to work on Samsung because of the certifications involved. I guess I don't have fancy enough appliances to see them hooking a laptop to them. If that happens it is going to hurt the first couple companies that do it. I DIY a lot of issues but I am not going that far or to that expense. --107.147.xx.xx

I purchased the warranty from Lowe's on a few items. I had the same problem as WMH. It took FOREVER for them to get anything done. A week and a half to come out and look at it to diagnose. Then, have to order parts that took 3 weeks to be shipped. Then, another week for guy to come back and install. I ended up talking to my pro rep at Lowe's and he said bring it back and we'll exchange it for a new one. I had to take out and reinstall, but it was done in 3 days instead of over a month. Haven't bought the extended warranty since. My time and listening to the tenant complain was worth more than the price they charge. --45.17.xxx.xxx

They don't like it, next. --172.58.xxx.xxx

They may now, I'm not sure but it was worth it for sure. --69.201.xx.xxx

Yes, WMH, great point on the time for repairs. I gotta find some place like you have, that delivers used washers and dryers. Sounds like a nice way to handle it. --173.63.xxx.xx

I've never bought them for the rental. Usually the failures are broken shelves, handles, and dents on refrigerators, and burned out elements on stoves. None of that is covered in the extended warranty. I did buy one on the last refrigerator I bought for my own house and I've had them out twice to fix the icemaker and once for a fan, it's saved me money. I did it because my credit card used to double the warranty on purchases so I would get twice the length of time for the extended warranty. The card stopped that last year so I doubt I'll ever buy another extended warranty. --209.205.xxx.xx

I got the washer dryer set at half cost on clearance or $450. I increased the rent 50 a month to cover the cost and it's already paid for. --172.59.xxx.xx

They are responsible for repairs during this entire time --24.101.xxx.xxx

I played around with the pricing and the washer was 75 for 1 yr 200 for 3 years and 300 for 5 years. It does cover rental housing. The plan just sounds too good to be true. If they decide they can't service it they replace it and you get 100% replacement cost for 5 years. --67.240.xx.xx

Wow, the fact that it does cover rental housing makes that very tempting. --107.147.xx.xx
