In 2023, I bought a @WhirlpoolCorp washing machine. It has never worked properly. It's strange because for over 20 years all my appliances are Whirpool.
I always buy the Home Depot protection plans, the five-year one. When I bought it, they told me that the protection plan will start when the first year of the manufacturer's warranty finalized.
The washing machine broke down six months after I bought it, and again this year. I wanted to make sure if 2025 was the first year of the plan and they told me no, it was the second, because the first year counts. I explained that this was impossible because then I would be paying for a year I won't use, since the first year IS the warranty.
The plan says that they would replace the protected item after the third repair, but when I asked about that, @Allstate told me no because the first one doesn't count since it "was under warranty"—🤔🤔
Regarding the second repair under the protection plan, a technician came, identified the problem, and parts were ordered. When the parts arrived, @Allstate contacted me to tell me to hire a technician, as they would reimburse me. The whole point of the plan is to avoid upfront costs. They told me that, due to the INCONVENIENCE, in addition to the reimbursement, they would pay an extra $100. A month ago, they reimbursed me, but I haven't received the $100 they offered.
If this is how it's going to be, next time I'll reconsider buying a @WhirlpoolCorp appliance from @HomeDepot and the Protection Plan from @Allstate. 🤷🏻♀️🙄
