If there's one appliance in your house you rely on daily, it's your refrigerator. That's why keeping it running properly is a must. Over the course of its life, your refrigerator will probably experience a few problems.

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.

Several factors affect the lifespan of your refrigerator. If your refrigerator experiences frequent, heavy usage, such as opening and closing the doors often, it can wear out faster. With regular cleaning and maintenance, such as replacing worn-out parts, you can help extend your refrigerator’s life.
The recommended temperature for a refrigerator is between 35- and 38-degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature range is considered safe for storing perishable foods and will help to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
Your refrigerator can stop cooling for a variety of reasons, including a malfunctioning condenser fan, faulty thermostat, damaged door gasket, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor. But, with a refrigerator home warranty, a Pro will diagnose and repair the issue for you.
An American Home Shield home warranty covers parts and components, including water leaks, in-refrigerator icemaker, water filter, evaporator fan, thermostat, and multiple refrigerators.
