PROTECTION AGREEMENTS
Master Protection Agreements
Congratulations on making a smart purchase. Your new

it may require preventive maintenance or repair from
time to time. That's when having a Master Protection
Agreement can save you money and aggravation.
The Master Protection Agreement also helps extend
the life of your new product. Here's what the
Agreement* includes:
• Parts and labor not just for repairing defects, but to help
keep products operating properly under normal use. Our
coverage goes well beyond the product warranty. No
deductibles, no functional failure excluded from coverage
- real protection.

Sears service technicians, which means someone you can
trust will be working on your product.
• Unlimited service calls and nationwide service, as often
as you want us, whenever you want us.
• "No-lemon" guarantee - replacement of your covered
product if four or more product failures occur within twelve
months.
• Product replacement if your covered product can't be
fi xed.
• Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your request
- no extra charge.
• Fast help by phone - we call it Rapid Resolution - phone
support from a Sears representative on all products. Think
of us as a "talking owner's manual."
• Power surge protection against electric damage due to
power fl uctuations.
• $250 food loss protection annually for any food spoilage
that is the result of mechanical failure of any covered
refrigerator or freezer.
• Rental reimbursement if repair of your covered product

any time day or night or schedule a service appointment
