Clothes Washer Warranty Coverage

From favorite t-shirts and everyday essentials to muddy play clothes and weekend laundry piles, your washing machine helps keep life moving. It works hard behind the scenes to tackle load after load, so it's no surprise that even a reliable washer may need repairs from time to time.

The good news? If you discover a covered problem, there's no need to let laundry day pile up. Simply place a service request online, in the AHS app, or call American Home Shield®, and we'll help get your washer back to doing what it does best. Because the only thing that should be spinning is the wash cycle.

Need dryer coverage too? We got it! Check out our dryer coverage to help keep your entire laundry routine running smoothly.

American Home Shield will pay up to $2,000 per covered appliance ($4,000 with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan) for access, diagnosis, and repair/ replacement per the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement.

Washing Machine FAQs

Yes, our ShieldGold and ShieldPlatinum plans cover the parts and components of clothes washers.

We cover all components and parts of clothes washers. The ShieldGold plan covers up to $2,000 for each covered appliance. The ShieldPlatinum plan covers up to $4,000 for each covered appliance. See the page above and the plan agreement for more detailed coverage information. 

If we can’t repair your covered washer, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions of your plan agreement and remove the defective item.

We will match the replacement as similarly as possible to the malfunctioned washer in terms of features, capacity, and efficiency. However, we cannot guarantee that we can match the exact dimensions, brand, or color. You can also opt for a payout in the amount of a similar model so you can upgrade your appliance and use our Appliance Upgrade Program, a benefit to AHS members. Our exclusive discounts will help your dollars go further.

You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. Service requests can easily be placed 24/7 online via MyAccount or by calling 1-888-691-2854 during standard business hours to request service.

Our best home warranty plan is the one that’s right for you and your home. The ShieldSilver plan covers the parts and components of your must-have systems like your heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems. ShieldGold covers all of the above plus your laundry and kitchen appliances. And with ShieldPlatinum, you get coverage for just about everything: home systems and appliances, plus premium features like roof leak repair coverage, and one free HVAC Tune-up per agreement term. No two homes are the same, and that’s why we have options – so you can find the plan that fits your needs. Please review the Sample Plan Agreement for specific coverage details.

The cost of a home warranty with washing machine coverage depends on a few factors like your location, size of your home, and the plan you select. It’s easy to get a quick, personalized quote based on your needs and budget on our website.

The average lifespan of a washing machine is typically between 10 to 13 years. This can vary based on the brand, model, usage patterns, and maintenance practices. High-quality machines that are well-maintained can last longer, while heavy usage and lack of maintenance can shorten their lifespan. Regular inspections and timely repairs can also help prolong the machine's operational life.

A home warranty for a washing machine typically covers the essential parts and components that contribute to the machine’s functionality. For a detailed list of covered parts, please refer to our sample plan agreement.
