Garbage Disposal

Garbage Disposal Coverage

Your garbage disposal helps keep kitchen cleanup moving, making quick work of everything from dinner scraps to post-meal messes. But like any hardworking appliance, it can run into problems over time. If a covered issue leaves your disposal humming, jamming, or refusing to cooperate, there's no need to stress. With garbage disposal coverage in your AHS home warranty, all you have to do is simply place a service request online, in the AHS app, or call American Home Shield®, and we'll help get your kitchen back in working order. Because the only thing that should be piling up after dinner is the compliments to the chef.
