Kitchen Refrigerator Home Warranty Coverage

Kitchen Refrigerator Home Warranty Coverage

Your refrigerator is one of the most critical appliances in your home and, not coincidentally, one of the most expensive to repair or replace. Liberty Home Guard’s kitchen refrigerator home warranty plans protect you from costly out-of-pocket repairs and replacements caused by normal wear and tear.

Home Warranty vs. Homeowner’s Insurance for Refrigerators

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that homeowner’s insurance doesn’t cover refrigerator repairs or breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear. Insurance only helps if your refrigerator is damaged by a covered event (like fire or flood).

A home warranty for refrigerators fills that gap — covering repairs or replacement for mechanical failures, cooling problems, and broken parts due to everyday use.

What’s Covered in a Refrigerator Warranty Plan

Our refrigerator warranty coverage includes:

  • Repair of mechanical and electrical failures caused by normal use
  • Replacement of your refrigerator if it’s beyond repair
  • Coverage for internal parts such as compressors, fans, thermostats, and automatic icemakers
  • Service visits from licensed refrigerator repair technicians

Each plan includes clear coverage terms and conditions so you know exactly what’s included.

How Liberty Home Guard Refrigerator Warranty Works

  1. Request Service: Call us or request service online 24/7.
  2. Technician Dispatch: We send a licensed technician to diagnose the problem.
  3. Repair or Replace: If it can be fixed, we repair it. If not, refrigerator replacement coverage kicks in.
  4. Low Service Fee: You pay a flat service call fee (typically $75),no surprise repair bills.

Cost of Refrigerator Repair Without a Home Warranty

Refrigerator repairs can range from minor fixes to full system overhauls, and without a home warranty, homeowners can face unexpected, high out-of-pocket costs. Here’s what you can typically expect to pay, subject to exceptions and depending on your homes location and specifics of what the issue is:

  • Average Repair Costs: Most refrigerator repairs cost $150 to $400, depending on the issue. 
     
  • Common Repairs and Prices:
    • Thermostat replacement: $100 to $250
    • Compressor repair or replacement: $300 to $650
    • Ice maker repair: $150 to $300
    • Door seal/gasket replacement: $100 to $200
    • Refrigerant leak repair: $200 to $500 
       
  • Emergency Service Fees: If your refrigerator breaks down on a weekend or holiday, expect to pay premium rates for expedited service calls. 

Beyond repair costs, you may also face secondary expenses related to the issue:

  • Food Loss: A malfunctioning fridge can spoil hundreds of dollars’ worth of groceries in a matter of hours.
  • Time and Effort: Coordinating repair appointments, waiting for parts, and taking time off work can add stress and inconvenience.
  • Full Replacement Costs: If your refrigerator is beyond repair, replacing it can cost $1,000 to $3,000+ depending on brand and features. 

Many of these costs are where a home warranty plan with refrigerator coverage can be a game-changer. Instead of paying hundreds or thousands out of pocket, you’ll only pay a low, flat service fee typically around $75 while Liberty Home Guard covers the repair or replacement.

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.

    Read more about what is a home warranty.

  • 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.
