With 72 years under its belt, Lowe's has provided an array of home improvement products through the years, including major and minor home appliances, hardware, electrical, plumbing, paint and building supplies. The company only offers repairs and services to store-bought appliances, but with over 10 brands supported and an ample list of premium protection plan benefits, customers can confide in Lowe's ability to offer the services they need.

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 Additional Services

Additional Services - 4.5 / 5

Lowe's does not offer home improvement or home maintenance features unless covered by their appliance protection plan. However, they offer technician-certified installations for their appliances, and their protection plan offers various premium benefits, such as a 30% payback reward benefit in case you end up not using your plan for repair issues, and a 50% reimbursement on preventative maintenance items, such as water and air filters.

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 repairman went to my 81 year old grandmother's home and didn't have a mask on. Now my grandmother is covid positive and no one is allowed to be with her to take care of her. I know she got it from him because she doesn't go anywhere and hardly anyone goes around her. Also the time frame of him being there fits. This is unacceptable and the workers that go into homes need to be more respectful. If she doesn't pull through this then he killed my grandmother due to his lack of care. I think he should lose his job for harming others.

What good is the warranty if they say they will send a check when washer can't be replaced then just never do it? Been waiting three weeks now and there is no way to contact the Claims department themselves.

Purchased the extended warranty for our dishwasher. It has been out of service since November 22, 2019. It is now September 2, 2020. Have had technicians to our home 3 times and have been unable to repair. Now, we've had no response from Lowe's service company after 8 weeks and Lowes continues to be unresponsive to the problem, telling us that they'll get back to us. NEVER, NEVER do the extended warranty through Lowes. Horrible service and extremely frustrated.

I have been on the phone with this company, to have my washer repaired after only have it for 6months. I've called 3 times only to be on hold for at least 45 mins each time and to be told they cant take my call and was then hung up on. This makes the third time I've called and still cant get through to anyone and have been on hold for 25mins this time and still nothing. This is a joke. now ready the reviews looks like I wont have it fixed for another year.

I wish I could give them no stars. My story is the same as everyone else's but I just wanted to go on record. I have a Lowes Protection Plan. My dryer broke on 8/17/20. After waiting or an hour I finally got someone on the phone to "assist" me. She took all of the information and told me that I would get an e-mail with an appointment within 1-3 business days. Nothing. On 8/21 I spend another hour on the phone waiting for assistance. This time I'm told that it takes 5 business days and my claim has gone to the Repair Provider Support Team. I call again on the 23rd and I am told that they will have to escalate to the next level which means I am being put at the top of the list... Read More

Worst Repair Service we have ever encountered. Coupled with their Repair Company, A & E, you need an attorney, a lot of patience, money, and the ability to deal with psychopathic liars! We purchased a washer, dryer, and refrigerator from Lowes about 4 years ago. We also purchased their deluxe 5 Year Extended Warranty plan for them. The dryer failed in a year. An appointment was made by Lowe's about 10 days out. The Repairman never showed up. We called and were told he came by and no one was home. The truth is that it was a beautiful day and we spent the whole day in our front yard in front of our driveway and front door. Read the other reviews, this is one of their normal lies. The washer...

First of all, when I called for repair under the extended repair plan, they didn't have my address in their database correctly. The address they had I have never heard of. I thought we resolved that issue, and I had dto call in the next day to get somone to do my repair. that was the end of July and here it is August 22, 2020 ahd my waher has not been repaired. I was told last week that the parts are still on backorder but should be in by today. Today I have been told by the repair company not expected until August 28 another weel, this is terrible! I am on the phone, on hold waiting to speak to somone at this company, lowes just picked up after 1 hour 42 minutes of my waiting. Today, I... Read More

Twice Phillips Electronics did not show up to repair our refrigerator. Both times we waited. 4 hours. Nobody could reach them on the phone. Not even Lowes. Lowes hung up when I asked them what they were going to do? We have an extended Warranty. This is the third time this Samsung 4 Zone Refrigerator ice maker has broken and there are other problems. A week trying to get the refrigerator fixed. ! I am so disappointed ! I spent money on what I thought was a great refrigerator and Lowes has not stood behind it in my opinion. Phillips Electonics has not done anything have not returned my calls.

WORST SERVICE EVER. We called on 7-27-20 regarding washer not working. Service provided came out said he would need to order part and would be back 8-4-20 to complete repair. On 8-3-20 S & S Appliance calls and confirms appointment for 8-4-20. On 8-4-20 they call and say they do not have the part and reschedule for 8-11-2020. On 8-10-20 they call and confirm for 8-11-20 between 12 pm and 5 pm. On 8-11-20 they call in the morning to say the repair man had a family emergency and would reschedule me for 8-18-20. I advised that was unacceptable. It has been 2 weeks and my washer still does not work. Calling the Lowe's Repair Number is a joke. I've been on hold for 45 minutes trying to get... Read More
