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. Our coverage
goes well beyond the product warranty. No deductible, 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 not 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!
