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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, our ShieldPlus and ShieldComplete plans cover the parts and components of clothes washers.

We cover all components and parts of clothes washers. The ShieldPlus plan covers up to $4,000 for each covered appliance. The ShieldComplete plan covers up to $7,000 for each covered appliance. And if we can’t repair the covered item, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement. See the page above or 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 once your coverage begins on the day of closing. 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.

It's an annual home warranty plan that helps with the cost and hassle when parts of your home systems and appliances break down. Our real estate-specific plans are offered to both home buyers and sellers and coverage begins immediately. You will also get protection for things other home warranties might not cover, like old home systems and appliances, insufficient maintenance, improper installations or repairs, mismatched HVAC systems in certain circumstances, and more.
