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 needed to help keep products operating
properly under normal use, not just defects. Our coverage
goes well beyond the product warranty. No deductible, no
functional failure excluded from coverage - real protection.
• Expert service by a force of more than 10,000 authorized
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 fixed.
• 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 owners manual.
Power surge protection against electrical damage due to
power fluctuations.
• $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
takes longer than promised.
• 10% 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 or schedule a service appointment online.
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 anytime after
the product warranty period expires. Purchase your Master
Protection Agreement today!
