What is Assurant service protection?

Assurant’s service protection is an appliance warranty program you can purchase for appliances when buying a home. It extends the life of a manufacturer’s warranty, covering functional parts and labor after the warranty expires.

With Assurant service protection, 100% of functional parts and labor are covered if you submit a claim. This does not cover problems due to random acts of nature, cosmetic damages or issues caused by power outages. All services are completed by reputable technicians, and plans can be transferred to a new owner if you move before your protection is up.

How does Assurant service protection work?

With Assurant service protection, homeowners create a plan centered on which appliances they want covered — typical selections include stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines and TVs. You can choose to cover up to nine appliances with one plan, though your products must be no more than 15 years old.

After choosing your plan, you can sign up for coverage that's effective within 48 hours if the product is under manufacturer's warranty or 30 days if it isn't. Then, in the case of an appliance malfunction, you file a claim and wait to receive care from Assurant’s network of authorized specialists.

Assurant service protection costs

The price of an Assurant service protection plan varies based on a few factors, including where you’re located, the product type and brand and when your appliances were installed. For example, a three-year plan for a side-by-side GE refrigerator installed in July 2020 in Kansas City costs $402.33, while a Frigidaire dishwasher installed at the same time in the same city runs $218.85 for a three-year plan.

You can save on the overall cost by purchasing more years of coverage. Assurant also offers the option to pay in four installments. Its plans include a $50 deductible.

Assurant service protection FAQ

Is there a waiting period for Assurant service protection?
If your product is still under warranty, your appliances can be covered in under 48 hours. If your product is no longer covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty or your service contract has expired, your new plan will start 30 days after purchase.
What systems does Assurant cover?
Assurant covers all functional parts and labor costs if a protected item fails. Products available for coverage include refrigerators, small kitchen appliances, microwaves, washers, dryers, dishwashers, freezers, ovens, ranges and cooktops less than 15 years old and TVs less than 10 years old.
Is Assurant service protection available everywhere?
According to the website, Assurant has a vast network of technicians, so service should be offered widely. If no technicians are available in your area, you can ask for a refund.

Is Assurant service protection worth it?

Assurant is a well-known name in the insurance industry, and its service protection program could help you save money on repairs. With multiple coverage options, plus protection for up to nine appliances, it’s simple to tailor a plan to each homeowner. While upfront pricing isn’t available on its site, its quote tool lets customers calculate expected costs in their area. And, with little to no waiting period for coverage for most products, Assurant offers faster protection than many other options.

We have a General Electric unitized washer dryer combination. The washer stopped working correctly several days ago. The machine begins agitating and then after a few minutes it stops and sits there not advancing into the cycle. Then I had a difficult time figuring out how to get the water drained out of the machine and the clothing in it spun out.

    Microwave turntable kept on turning after the time stopped and the door was opened. This is the second microwave that failed, the first just after the first year. The first one failed to open the door. The service man had to use a crow bar to open the microwave. The replacement also had problems and the panel had to replaced soon after it was installed.

    I called the phone number to get started with my claim; it gave me options on the recorded message. I picked the text option and it was a smooth process to get the work order started. I answered questions about my machine and issue and then I picked a date for the service. I like this process from start to finish, so thank you.

    I have used your company three times to repair my refrigerator. The problem is not with the repairmen but with the scheduling. If you receive a call requesting you call and schedule the repair you should not have to leave nine-ten messages. I called and each time got a recording stating the person I needed to speak with was not available please leave a message.

    I purchased this GE refrigerator in September 2021. Within two months, I had to contact for repair. Two days shy of the one-year factory warranty expiring, the refrigerator stopped working. I then purchased an extended warranty, something I have never done before, because it seem to me that this refrigerator was going to be an ongoing problem. I called for repair, utilizing the extended warranty in May 2023. So all in all, I have had to have this refrigerator repaired three times in less than 18 months. I sincerely hope that this will be a permanent fix.

    My 1 piece stack GE washer/dryer is only 3 years old... and under an extended warranty from your company... Strangely.. stopped spinning but the spin motor was running... after removing the few items I had in the washer tub, the machine did turn off... I was also able to schedule my service in two days which is great!... It is difficult to be without any of your appliances..

    Absolutely horrible service. Stay away from this company for a warrant. Our washer broke 3 weeks ago. It stopped spinning. First service visit took a week and the technician reset the computer and said everything looks fine. The issue continued and we called for another technician who came within a few days and stated that the inverter was the issue and he "would try to order the parts" if he had time. We never heard back and have escalated to upper management who had no record of any visits at all. The hired service company (Sears) also had no record of any visits and we have been without a washer (using an expensive external laundry service for 3 weeks). We have escalated multiple times with no response. Needless to say, we will NOT be engaging with warranty service provider nor the the Sears service provider for any future appliances.

    The web site was easy to use, and it did not take a lot of time to schedule an appointment. It also gave me the telephone number of the company that will make the repairs, so if I have questions or need to reschedule, I can call. All in all very easy to use.

    First, thank you. As promised technician arrived to install part 2 days after I was contacted by Assurant rep. Thank you Derek. Without need for escalation, this is the service I have received and expect from Assurant. This is a good product. Service has overall been very good.

    Original Review: April 9, 2024

    Repair for my refrigerator requested 3/20/2024. Appt with service company Sear Home services was setup satisfactorily. Technician from Sears arrived as scheduled, assessed the issue and said the part would be ordered and installed the following week. Part arrived as promised. Technician did not show as expected. A new appt was scheduled with service company to install part. Technician showed up as scheduled. Instructed me that his order shows I did not have a warranty and that I would be responsible for the payment. I declined. That was April 5th.

    Contact Sears, unable to schedule a new appt because current repair was still in progress.Contacted Assurant and was instructed to have Sears contact Assurant for coverage information. Tried to schedule another repair with Assurant but currently repair request is still open with information that parts were on order. Tried to contact the service company and at present have been on hold for almost 30 minutes because of high call volumes; today is April 9th. I tried talking to reps at both Assurant and Sears and both groups sent me to their automated systems to resolve the issue. I have needed part at my home. I just someone to come install it. Service from Assurant not what it has been in the past. In addition since Assurant selected the current company to service repair requests, they need take responsibility for their service as well. Very disappointed.

    I paid for a protection plan through Lowe's for my Whirlpool refrigerator. The ice maker stopped working. In August of 2023. Expert Appliance Repair and Mechanical Inc technician never showed up. I called and another appointment was scheduled. The technician came out and told me that he fixed the problem. I checked it before he left, and it was NOT working. He apologized, looked at it again and said that he needed to order a part and would return. He never came back. When I called the company, I was told that the technician noted that the job was completed. I told them that it wasn't. They scheduled another appointment. The technician came out and the whole scenario played out again. Another appointment was scheduled. On the same day of the appointment, I got a text that my appointment had been rescheduled.

    The technician never came for that rescheduled appointment. That has happened on the last 8 rescheduled appointments. Out of 11 rescheduled appointments, a technician has showed up 3 times and each time I was told that he needed to order a part, which has never happened. I’ve even gotten texts stating that the technician was on the way, and then within minutes, another text, rescheduling. Before the scheduled appointment for March 28th, I finally spoke with a representative from Assurant, who fervently promised me that this would not happen again and per my request, would assign my repair to a different company. It did happen again, with the same company on Wednesday, March 28th.

    I got a text message on the same day of the appointment, that the technician was on the way, and then within minutes, another text, rescheduling for April 8th. Each time, within minutes of the time of arrival, I got texts, rescheduling the appointments. I have all the texts, verifying my complaint and I have included a copy of them in my review. They're all from this phone number: **. I'm terribly dissatisfied and I want my money back. By the way, Your system wouldn't allow me to submit my review without giving my experience at least 1 star. My actual rating would be triple negative that.
