Dryers are a laundry day mainstay in most households, but all that tumbling and heat means they can really take a beating. The average dryer lasts for about 8 to 12 years. Luckily, the protection you need to keep your dryer spinning away is right here. Rather than panicking when you discover a covered problem with your dryer, you can simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield®.
American Home Shield will pay up to $2,000 per covered appliance ($4,000 with the ShieldPlatinum™ plan) for access, diagnosis, and repair/replacement per the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement.
Yes, our ShieldGold and ShieldPlatinum plans cover the parts and components of clothes dryers.
We cover all components and parts of clothes dryers. The ShieldGold plan covers up to $2,000 for each covered appliance. The ShieldPlatinum plan covers up to $4,000 for each covered appliance. And if we can’t repair the covered item, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement. See the page above or the plan agreement for more detailed coverage information.
If we can’t repair your covered dryer, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement and remove the defective item.
We will match the replacement as similarly as possible to the malfunctioned dryer in terms of features, capacity, and efficiency. However, we cannot guarantee that we can match the exact dimensions, brand, or color. You can also opt for a payout in the amount of a similar model so you can upgrade your appliance and use our Appliance Discount Program. Our exclusive discounts will help your dollars go further.
You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. Service requests can easily be placed 24/7 online via MyAccount or by calling 1-888-691-2854 during standard business hours to request service.
