A Kenmore appliance warranty is a limited service agreement that covers Kenmore appliances for one year from the original purchase date, which makes it more of an extended warranty. In some cases, specific components, like the driver motor in a washing machine, have a lifetime warranty.
Kenmore’s warranty applies to individual appliances, such as a washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, range, oven, water softener, and vacuum cleaner. Elite appliances are eligible for additional coverage for up to three to ten years, but the terms vary depending on the type of appliance. In all cases, the warranty only applies to workmanship or material defects.
To file a claim, you’ll need proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. The appliance must be properly installed, operated, and maintained to the manufacturers’ standards to be eligible for coverage. Unlike a Liberty Home Guard appliance warranty, you’ll need to initiate a return with an authorized Kenmore retailer to receive service. After you’ve initiated the return process, you can contact Kenmore’s appliance repair line at 1-844-553-6667.
Warranty coverage will be limited to 90 days from the original purchase if the appliance is used outside of a private household.

While warranties can provide peace of mind, they don’t cover all situations. Kenmore appliance warranties have positives and negatives. Considering the upsides and downsides can help you decide if Kenmore’s appliances are right for you and whether or not you want to purchase additional home warranty protection from Liberty Home Guard.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the pros and cons of Kenmore’s appliance warranties:
Pros:
Cons:
Kenmore offers extended warranty coverage for HVAC systems, water heaters, and other home appliances it manufacturers and sells. When you purchase a Kenmore appliance, you can add a Kenmore Protection Plan or Kenmore Repair Protection Plan. The former is available for Kenmore, Kenmore Elite, and Kenmore Pro appliances, while the latter applies to Kenmore and Kenmore Elite systems, such as water heaters and HVAC units.
Here’s a comparison of the scenarios each plan covers:
Coverage Includes | Kenmore Protection Plan | Kenmore Repair Protection Plan |
Applies to: | Household appliances, such as refrigerators, laundry machines, ovens/ranges, dishwashers | Home systems, such as water heaters and HVAC |
Manufacturer’s defects | Yes | Yes |
Unlimited coverage with no deductibles or fees | Yes | Yes |
Replacement guarantee | Yes | Yes |
Repair due to normal wear & tear | Yes | Yes |
Power surge protection | Yes | Yes |
Service promise | Yes | Yes |
Technical assistance by phone | Yes | Yes |
25% discount on consumable parts | Yes | Yes |
Experienced service technicians | Yes | Yes |
Risk-free cancellation | Yes | Yes |
Transferable to a new owner | Yes | Yes |
Annual preventative maintenance | Yes | |
No lemon warranty | Yes | |
Food loss reimbursement for refrigeration & freezers | Yes | |
Repair of cosmetic defects | Yes |
Kenmore offers excellent warranties for its products. Compared to a traditional home warranty, Kenmore’s appliance repair plans have more flexible cancellation, access to preventative maintenance, reimbursement for food loss, and no service call fee.
Kenmore’s appliance warranties are more like an extended warranty than a traditional home warranty plan. Kenmore’s refrigerator and other appliance warranties can be a great option if you are purchasing new systems or appliances, but they may not be the best option if you are not the original owner. While the plans are transferable, you’ll have to rely on the original purchaser to have proof of purchase and other paperwork.
A home warranty can provide more comprehensive coverage that bundles home systems and appliances. We recommend our Appliance Guard, Systems Guard, and Total Guard Plans.
Whether you’re looking for an extended warranty on a single Kenmore appliance or a comprehensive home warranty to protect all of your home appliances and systems, Liberty Home Guard will provide exceptional and affordable service.
We maintain a network of licensed, bonded, and insured technicians throughout the United States. If your Kenmore appliance malfunctions or breaks down, all you need to do is file a claim with us—an effortless task with our simple online form. Leave the rest to us. We’ll arrange to have a professional attend to your home and repair the appliance as necessary. If your appliance can’t be repaired, your plan may cover the item’s replacement or provide a cash payout.
The worry of how to pay for repairing or replacing an unexpectedly broken appliance is a major stressor for American homeowners. We can make that worry a thing of the past.

A home warranty is a service contract that covers the cost of repairs and replacements for your home’s systems and appliances when they break down over time from normal wear and tear.
It’s simple, you can select the coverage plan of your choice that is the best fit for your home and budget.
When you request service for a covered item, you will be charged a pre-set fee in order to initiate the service request.
With an LHG home warranty, when a covered item needs repair, simply follow these steps:
Liberty Home Guard offers 3 different plans depending on the coverage your home needs. The Total Home Guard is a combination of both our Appliance Guard and Systems Guard plan. It is our most comprehensive and most economical.
We offer add-ons to each plan. Check HERE for our Home Warranty Plans & Policies page to learn more about everything we cover.
A home warranty covers the costs of repairs and replacements of major home appliances and systems. Home systems, for example, include plumbing, electrical, and HVAC.
Homeowners insurance provides coverage if theft or natural disaster hits.
The main difference is that a manufacturer’s warranty generally covers the failed part of a single appliance, but usually doesn’t include the cost of labor or repair. With a home warranty, one plan covers a variety of systems and appliances, making it a more cost-effective way to safeguard your home.
A home warranty protects the homeowner’s budget by removing the risk of fluctuating expenses when big ticket items break down. With a Liberty Home Guard home warranty, the homeowner will pay for a monthly plan, along with a flat rate service call fee associated with any repairs, rather than the full retail cost of replacing or repairing any of their home appliances or systems.
No. Liberty Home Guard doesn’t require a home inspection or any maintenance records to purchase a home warranty plan.
Liberty Home Guard will dispatch a licensed technician to your home within 24 - 48 (business) hours of your request. Extenuating circumstances do apply.
Yes, you absolutely can. We only ask that you reach out to us first so that we can authorize the contractor you'd like to work with.

Yes, there are some limitations to what a home warranty plan can cover. Home warranties cover breakdowns that occur due to normal wear and tear. For example, if a fan in your AC unit breaks due to natural use, LHG would cover the replacement. However, if that AC was broken from human misuse or a natural event, it would not fall under our coverage.
No, it doesn’t. You can get an LHG warranty plan no matter the age of your appliances.
You can start requesting service after 30-60 days depending on the coverage you purchase. If you purchased your plan while buying your home, ask your agent about whether or not we start coverage on the day the escrow closes.
If, for any reason, you need to change your plan, you can do so within the first 30 days of purchasing your coverage. To make a switch call (833) 544-8273
Yes, you can read a sample Service Contract Agreement HERE.

Yes, you can cancel at any time. If your cancellation occurs within the first 30 days of your coverage, we’ll refund your contract fees minus the cost of claims paid, and we will charge a small administrative overhead fee. If you cancel after the 30th day, you’ll receive a prorated refund of your contract fees for the rest of the contract term minus the cost of claims paid, and we will charge a small administrative overhead fee.
