PROTECTION AGREEMENTS
Master Protection Agreements
Congratulations on making a smart purchase. Your new
®
Kenmore product is designed and manufactured for years
of dependable operation. But like all products, 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. Coverage goes
well beyond the product warranty. No deductibles, no functional
failure excluded from coverage - real protection.
• Expert service by experienced service technicians trusted in
millions of homes every year.
• Unlimited service calls and nationwide service, as often as you
want us, whenever you want us.
• "No-lemon" guarantee - replacement of your covered product
after three separate product failures occur within twelve months
and a fourth repair is required. Includes free delivery and
installation, if necessary, of replacement product.
• Product replacement if your covered product can't
be fixed.
• Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your request - no
extra charge.
• Fast help by phone - phone support from a service agent on all
products to help troubleshoot problems. Think of us as a "talking
owner's manual."
• Power surge protection against electric damage due to power
fluctuations.
• $300 Food Loss Protection for any food spoilage that is the result
of mechanical failure of any covered refrigerator or freezer.
• Service Promise: $50 if first attempt repair of your covered
product can't be accomplished and product is not usable while
awaiting further repair service.
• 25% discount off the regular price of any non-covered repair
service and related installed parts.
Once you purchase the Agreement, a simple phone call is all that
it takes for you to schedule service. You can call anytime day or
night.
The Master Protection Agreement is a risk-free purchase.
If you cancel for any reason during the product warranty period,
we will provide a full refund, or a prorated refund any time
after the product warranty period expires. Purchase your Master
Protection Agreement today!
