You depend on your washing machine to keep your clothes clean and your household running smoothly. We can help ensure your washer keeps washing with coverage for its essential parts and components. When you discover a covered problem, 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 washers.
We cover all components and parts of clothes washers. The ShieldGold plan covers up to $2,000 for each covered appliance. The ShieldPlatinum plan covers up to $4,000 for each covered appliance. See the page above and the plan agreement for more detailed coverage information.
If we can’t repair your covered washer, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions of your plan agreement and remove the defective item.
We will match the replacement as similarly as possible to the malfunctioned washer 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.

The average lifespan of a washing machine is typically between 10 to 13 years. This can vary based on the brand, model, usage patterns, and maintenance practices. High-quality machines that are well-maintained can last longer, while heavy usage and lack of maintenance can shorten their lifespan. Regular inspections and timely repairs can also help prolong the machine's operational life.
