American Home Shield
Appliance Coverage
It’s a good day to have a bad appliance
Refrigerators melt down, dishwashers run out of steam, cooktops go kaput. Expect the unexpected and feel confident knowing you have the coverage you need from your home warranty plan. We cover the parts and components of everyday appliances, regardless of age or condition.
More about appliance coverage
- $4,000 per covered appliance ($7,000 with ShieldComplete plan)
- Savings from costly, out-of-pocket repairs
- Coverage that protects the components of the appliances you rely on most, no matter their age.
- 30-day workmanship guarantee: if you have an issue with your completed repair within 30 days of service, we’ll send a Pro back out for free.
We sweat the small stuff for you.
As an AHS member, you know your budget, your time and let’s be honest, your sanity, are covered. With our Shield Assurances, we take care of things other home warranty companies might not, like:
- Breakdowns caused by normal wear-and-tear, no matter the age of a covered item
- Unknown, pre-existing breakdowns
- Items without maintenance records
- Duplicates of the same item, like that extra A/C unit
- Removal of defective equipment
- Refrigerant recapture, reclaim and disposal
- Breakdowns caused by improper installations or repairs, insufficient maintenance, rust, corrosion and sediment and mismatched HVAC systems
See the plan agreement for coverage details, including service fees, limitations and exclusions. Coverage limits and charges for non-covered items may apply.

Yes, we don't care how old your home systems and appliances are. You can purchase an American Home Shield home warranty without an inspection or maintenance records.
American Home Shield will assign a Pro from our network who specializes in the type of item and issue you are experiencing. The assigned Pro will then reach out to you. In some limited situations, American Home Shield may offer you the ability to choose your own contractor, also known as Outside Authorization. Unless American Home Shield offers you the Outside Authorization, you may not use your own contractor. Please see the plan agreement for more information.
If we can't repair your covered appliance, we will replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement and remove the defective item.
When you join American Home Shield, there are two fees associated with your home warranty plan: the plan cost and the amount you'll pay when you need to request service, which is your service fee. Your service fee is a set amount that you get to choose when you sign up for your plan. It is a nonrefundable fee that covers the cost for a Pro to diagnose the item.
No, we do not limit the number of service requests that you can make. With the ShieldPlus plan, we will cover up to $4,000 per covered appliance and with the ShieldComplete plan, we will cover up to $7,000 per covered appliance. See the plan agreement for coverage details.
