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 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 owner's 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.
