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 not
be
fi
xed.
• 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 electric damage due to
power
fl
uctuations.
• $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.
• 25% discount
o
ff
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 at any time 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 any time after the product warranty
period expires. Purchase your Master Protection
Agreement today!
