Master Protection Agreements
Congratulations on making a smart purchase.
Your new Kenmore
®
Elite 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:
þ
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 deductibles, no functional failure excluded from
coverage – real protection.
þ
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.
þ
Unlimited service calls and nationwide service
, as often as you want us, whenever you want us.
þ
“No-lemon” guarantee
– replacement of your covered product if four or more product failures occur within
twelve months.
þ
Product replacement
if your covered product can’t be fixed.
þ
Annual Preventive Maintenance Check
at your request – no extra charge.
þ
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.”
þ
Power surge protection
against electrical damage due to power fluctuations.
þ
$250 Food Loss Protection
annually for any food spoilage that is the result of mechanical failure of any cov-
ered refrigerator or freezer.
þ
Rental reimbursement
if repair of your covered product takes longer than promised.
þ
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, 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.
