Kenmore Appliance Repair & Warranty

Kenmore

What Is a Kenmore Appliance Warranty?

A Kenmore appliance warranty is a limited service agreement that covers Kenmore appliances for one year from the original purchase date, which makes it more of an extended warranty. In some cases, specific components, like the driver motor in a washing machine, have a lifetime warranty. 

Kenmore’s warranty applies to individual appliances, such as a washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, range, oven, water softener, and vacuum cleaner. Elite appliances are eligible for additional coverage for up to three to ten years, but the terms vary depending on the type of appliance. In all cases, the warranty only applies to workmanship or material defects. 

To file a claim, you’ll need proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. The appliance must be properly installed, operated, and maintained to the manufacturers’ standards to be eligible for coverage. Unlike a Liberty Home Guard appliance warranty, you’ll need to initiate a return with an authorized Kenmore retailer to receive service. After you’ve initiated the return process, you can contact Kenmore’s appliance repair line at 1-844-553-6667.

Warranty coverage will be limited to 90 days from the original purchase if the appliance is used outside of a private household.

Kenmore Appliance Warranty Vs. Home Warranties

Kenmore offers excellent warranties for its products. Compared to a traditional home warranty, Kenmore’s appliance repair plans have more flexible cancellation, access to preventative maintenance, reimbursement for food loss, and no service call fee. 

Kenmore’s appliance warranties are more like an extended warranty than a traditional home warranty plan. Kenmore’s refrigerator and other appliance warranties can be a great option if you are purchasing new systems or appliances, but they may not be the best option if you are not the original owner. While the plans are transferable, you’ll have to rely on the original purchaser to have proof of purchase and other paperwork. 

A home warranty can provide more comprehensive coverage that bundles home systems and appliances. We recommend our Appliance Guard, Systems Guard, and Total Guard Plans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

HOME WARRANTY
  • What is a home warranty?

    A home warranty is a service contract that covers the cost of repairs and replacements for your home’s systems and appliances when they break down over time from normal wear and tear.

  • How does a home warranty work?

    It’s simple, you can select the coverage plan of your choice that is the best fit for your home and budget.

    When you request service for a covered item, you will be charged a pre-set fee in order to initiate the service request.

    With an LHG home warranty, when a covered item needs repair, simply follow these steps:

    • File a claim online or call.
    • After paying your set fee, we’ll put you in contact with a local contractor to schedule your appointment.
    • After officially diagnosing the problem, the contractor will contact us to make sure the issue is covered by your plan.
    • If everything checks out, the contractor will then repair or replace the item in question.
    • Afterwards, we’ll check in with you by email or phone to make sure you’re happy with the job.
  • What does a home warranty cover?

    Liberty Home Guard offers 3 different plans depending on the coverage your home needs. The Total Home Guard is a combination of both our Appliance Guard and Systems Guard plan. It is our most comprehensive and most economical.

    We offer add-ons to each plan. Check HERE for our Home Warranty Plans & Policies page to learn more about everything we cover.

  • How is a home warranty different from homeowner’s insurance?

    A home warranty covers the costs of repairs and replacements of major home appliances and systems. Home systems, for example, include plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.

    Homeowners insurance provides coverage if theft or natural disaster hits.

  • How is a home warranty different from a manufacturer’s warranty?

    The main difference is that a manufacturer’s warranty generally covers the failed part of a single appliance, but usually doesn’t include the cost of labor or repair. With a home warranty, one plan covers a variety of systems and appliances, making it a more cost-effective way to safeguard your home.

  • Why is buying a home warranty a good decision for homeowners?

    A home warranty protects the homeowner’s budget by removing the risk of fluctuating expenses when big ticket items break down. With a Liberty Home Guard home warranty, the homeowner will pay for a monthly plan, along with a flat rate service call fee associated with any repairs, rather than the full retail cost of replacing or repairing any of their home appliances or systems.

  • Do I have to get a home inspection before getting a Liberty Home Guard home warranty?

    No. Liberty Home Guard doesn’t require a home inspection or any maintenance records to purchase a home warranty plan.

  • How long does it take to fulfill a service request?

    Liberty Home Guard will dispatch a licensed technician to your home within 24 - 48 (business) hours of your request. Extenuating circumstances do apply.

  • Can I choose my own service contractor?

    Yes, you absolutely can. We only ask that you reach out to us first so that we can authorize the contractor you'd like to work with. This helps ensure that the highest standards are applied and that you and your family are kept safe. In our experience, you will usually save the most money and get the best work done using an LHG Certified Professional. All of our contractors are licensed professionals, and their work comes with a 60-day workmanship guarantee.
