Dishwasher Warranty Coverage

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

We cover all components and parts of dishwashers. The ShieldGold plan covers up to $2,000 for each covered appliance. The ShieldPlatinum plan covers up to $4,000 for each covered appliance. And if we can’t repair the covered item, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions of your plan agreement. See the page above and the plan agreement for more detailed coverage information. 

The standard initial home warranty plan agreement is 13-months, and begins the day after you sign-up.  After the initial agreement, your plan will renew for 12-month terms.  You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. 

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

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 and the AHS® app or by calling 1-888-691-2854.

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 systems plus your laundry and kitchen appliances. And with ShieldPlatinum, you get all of the above coverages for systems and laundry and kitchen appliances, plus roof leak repair 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. See the plan agreement for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.
