Lowe's Appliance Repair Services

Appliance Repair Services - 5 / 5

Lowe's offers appliance repair services through the manufacturer's warranty and through their appliance protection plan. If the problem is covered by either of these, the appliance will be repaired by a certified technician at no cost. However, if it is not covered, repairs may be offered by the technician at the customer's expense. The protection plan promises basic benefits, such as functional part and labor coverage, normal wear and tear repair, and reinstallation coverage, among others. Unfortunately, the plan's terms and conditions mention that they do not cover accidental damage or abuse, routine maintenance and consumables, and cosmetic damage, unless specified. Here at ConsumersAdvocate we recommend customers to read the terms and conditions thoroughly to inform themselves on Lowe's protection plan features and restrictions. Lowe's also offers a replacement plan, but is only eligible for products that retail for less than $300, after all discounts have been applied. This excludes major appliances and water heaters.

Lowe's Customer Service and Reputation

Customer Service/Reputation - 4 / 5

Lowe's is not BBB accredited, but it has an A+ on their website. As it's common with long-standing companies, Lowe's has a low score on review sites like Trustpilot. Lowes does not mention a satisfaction guarantee on their repair services, but it typically offers a 30 day return policy on appliance purchases, and free functioning parts and labor coverage on appliances as long as the problem is covered by the manufacturer's warranty or their protection program.

A 5 year Warranty is useless! I have five appliances that were purchased from Lowes, I bought the 5 yr. warranty on each one. My Samsung Washer and Whirlpool freezer went out within days of each other. I set up the claims on line. The first contractor did not show up or contact me until two days after the scheduled appt. I informed Lowes that I did not want to use that contractor. The second contractor, Folsom Lake Appliance Repair sent an email the day of my appt. and rescheduled. They came out a week later. After inspecting my freezer I was told that it was to warm in my garage and the freezer needed to be moved inside. I have had several freezers during my 73 years of life and... Read More

Don't waste your money on an extended warranty at Lowe’s they will not honor it, at least not in a timely manner. We purchase a three year warranty for our Bosch dishwasher it broke after several months short of the warranty expiration. We contacted the Lowes warranty people on May 21, 24 they would get back to us in two days. They did not contact us in two days as we were told we had to contact them and then they told us the number was for a refrigerator not a dishwasher, so we sent them a copy of our receipt which clearly states it a dishwasher. They said it would be two more working days before someone would get back to us. We have heard nothing from them! This is how their... Read More

We purchased the warranty on our GE refrigerator and 1 1/2 years later the compressor went. We have been waiting 21 days for a repair. The service provider they deal with has not been out even to see the refrigerator and have canceled repairs on multiple occasions. 21 days without a working refrigerator. We lost everything. And now they want a receipt for the reimbursement of lost food. Who keeps grocery store receipts. Everything is gone. Hundreds of dollars. And continue to lose money as we will don’t have a working refrigerator. It is unacceptable and yet I’m at the mercy of them and the repair service as I refuse to give up and go and purchase a new one.

I will neverbuy another appliance from Lowes which has Whirlpool appliances. Whirlpool has gone to the dogs. I bought a brand new house with all Whirlpool appliances. The washer and dryer was an addition as they were the only appliances that did not come with the home purchase. So far the icemaker attached to the refrigerator/freezer has spewn icecubes into the floor. The dryer push button start has quit working and broke off. After calling Lowes to find a repairman before my warrenty ran out. They gave me a number of a repairperson 70 miles away from my address. Whirlpool gave me a time and date to expect the repair person to arrive and service the dryer. He did not arrive. I called him.... Read More

Extended warrenty is waste of money .They clam when you buy the warrenty you get 1 year free then you can extend it 3 more years with optional warrenty total of 4 years When in fact you only get 2 year extension . Lies lies. Just so they get a bonus on warrenty sale.

I have never had any issues with repairs! I think people often get confused about who to actually call for repairs. If your appliance is under a year old, you can call any authorized servicer to make the repairs under the manufacturer's warranty. They can file the claim for the costs as long as it's something covered under the warranty. With an extended warranty, you have to call whomever the actual policy is with (not the store), and that company dispatches out an authorized repair company to make the repairs. But, again, it depends on if your extended warranty covers whatever is broken. READ THE FINE PRINT!

A technician came out one week ago to look at our Bosch French Door refrigerator/freezer. The freezer works fine but the refrigerator cannot go below 39/40 and SuperCool setting does not work. A technician came out and looked at it and said he would have to get permission to order a new thermostat. Six days later I'm not sure if a thermostat has been ordered, when it will get here and when he might put it in. The Washington, DC area company Lowes uses seems not to have offices or employees that work in them, only one or two technicians in the field. Lowes extended warranty repair services seems to just collect money for their services without any real plan to honor their warranty,... Read More

Do not purchase Lowe's protection plan. We purchased the plan and tried for 2 weeks to get a technician to check our washing machine. It was not functional. We were told that technicians were not available. We ended up purchasing a new washer from another business. We will not be purchasing any more appliances at Lowes.

Had appliance delivered today. All ready problems. Purchased extended warranty as I was promised could have appliance serviced within 24 hours. Talked to warranty dept at Lowes and they are booking out over a month! So frustrated and feel like I was taken advantage of.
