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.

-0- Bought an extended warranty on GE washer and dryer from Lowes thinking Lowes stood behind what they sold. I have requested a repair for the washer and tho they have made 3 service calls it is still not repaired. This started on April 10th and was told today it will be May 26th before they will be back out. Lowes states they have no responsibility for the warranty. GE stated they have no responsibility for the warranty.

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Lat Thursday morning I called for a Samsung refrigerator repair. It was scheduled for Saturday between 9 and 1. Someone called Friday to confirm at 4 and I called back 10 minutes later and it went to voicemail, but I left a message confirming the appointment. Saturday at 1 came and went. No call no show. Called Lowe’s again Saturday at 1 and was rescheduled for Tuesday between 9 and 1. It’s now 1 on Tuesday. No call, no show. I have Lowe’s on the phone and now the earliest appointment is Next Monday — 11 days after I called. This is ridiculous!! Buy from someone else.

Our washing machine went out right in the middle of a cycle. The washer door locked. We paid for a 5 year warranty on both washer and dryer (not cheap I might add) and are still within the warranty period. It took forever for them to answer the phone. When they did, they said that it would be a week before they could get anyone out to fix it. We replied that our clothing and masks for the COVID19 outbreak are in the washer and we cannot do without the masks. Also, the clothing in the washer will mold and smell before the tech gets here. That is unacceptable. Too bad for us is basically what the Lowe's Service Center said. We said we wanted to schedule an appointment ourselves and then... Read More

03-15-2020 Trying to get in contact with local Lowe's Store Manager in Northside Lafayette, La. and CORE WARRANTY REPAIR to document a formal complaint before I utilize the service of my ATTORNEY to file a LAWSUIT against the pathetic service I received from a technician named "Angel" (refused to give me his last name) who was sent by LOWE'S WARRANTY via CORE APPLIANCE company from Denham Springs, Louisiana. Please send me LOWES CUSTOMER AND CORE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGERS info, ASAP. I am sending a letter of complaint to each and both simultaneously. BTW...I TRIED REPEATEDLY & UNSUCCESSFULLY to get the Local Lafayette, La. store CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER's name, muchless a phone... Read More

I have received abysmal service from Lowe's protection plan warranty services. We called Lowe's over five weeks ago about our refrigerator not working and have yet to have it resolved. Every time we call they are apologetic but offer no actual solutions to our problems. They have outsourced the service to Electrolux who have canceled our service appointment twice and are never able to reschedule less than a week out. We've been told we would receive phone calls following up, only to hear radio silence from them. Horrible, ineffective service. Don't buy from Lowes, I never will again.

Very Very Poor Abysmal in fact Maytag Bravos washing machine with 5 year protection plan Called Lowes warranty number - Repair contractor arrived a couple of days later Left in about 20 minutes telling me the washer needed a new transmission that would need to be approved by Lowes. Called Lowes two business days later - Lowes knew nothing about the approval ! - Noithing! A week later the same contractor technician finally showed up but not with new transmission - with other parts After two hours plus , he informed me that my washer needed a new transmission ! The same exact assessment two times in row Zero satisfaction from Lowes Would not recommend Lowes to anyone Two

TERRIBLE. Extremely frustrating experience with Lowe's Protection Plan. We purchased a 5 year for major appliance plan at $125. The initial call to the 888-77-LOWES number was pleasant, they promptly scheduled a technician. However, the technician came, assessed the issue, left us a carbon copy log of his notes, and then never returned or followed up with a call. I called the technicians 2 weeks later with a vague "we're not sure if the part is covered, we'll get back to you." They never got back to us. 2 more weeks later, I call the technicians and they told us "You're supposed to call Lowe's to get a recall work order for them to proceed with the job, which the Lowe's Protection...

Customer Complaint to Lowe’s Customer Service Department and Magtag On April 27, 2017, we purchased a Magtag washing machine, model number MVWB835DW, serial # CONFIRM-C71571435, Top-Load Washer. January 2020 this model began to malfunction abruptly stopping and going during the spin cycle making loud clanking noises, so common sense ordered us to stop operation of the machine. We contacted the Lowes customer warranty department as we had purchased the 5 year EPP major appliance plan from Lowes. Lowes uses third party technicians to respond to customer complaints. Lowes has contracted, Appliance Services, to fulfill this role. Appliance Services visited our home and assessed the top... Read More

This service is horrible. I have tried 3 times to schedule repair after paying $300 for a service contract. Each time, they cancel the appointment and my entire day is wasted HOME FROM WORK and nobody shows. I will never buy from Lowes again. EVER!

I bought my entire home appliances (Samsung Fridge, Washer, Dryer and KitchenAid Microwave and Dishwasher) from Lowes couple of years back with extended warranty. My KitchenAid dishwasher broke down on Dec 25 and I called in on Dec 27. Since 27th two repairs companies have paid 4 visits to my house to fix but so far I keep hearing different stories with nothing getting fixed. I'm truly disappointed with the quality of service and support. All I am asking them is to fix the dish washer it is now 5 weeks without one and it is very frustrating.
