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.

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.

Do not purchase this plan. I bought a new Whirlpool refrigerator that I have had 6 service calls on for the same problem and they still tell me they will not replace my refrigerator. The first time a part was replaced, the second time they tell me my temperature was at the wrong temperature (we never changed it). The third, fourth and fifth time they sent a totally different company who was so incompetent I had to put them out of my house (by the way they changed the same part that was just changed 3 months ago). The 5th time they sent the company they had previously sent, and he put tape on it and said it should fix the problem. They are trying to continually do this until my... Read More

Today is day 45 without my 2-year-old Maytag Washer! I purchased Lowe's 5-year protection plan for ALL of my Kitchen Appliances that year. The repair company is VIA Services located in Crofton, MD , and the repairmen differ each time (degree of experience is highly questionable based upon 3 separate service calls for the same problem). I called Lowe's Customer Service to speak with the Warranty division, and needed to ask the person that answered to repeat himself multiple times since the foreign dialect was so difficult to understand. The result of that PAINFUL conversation was simply more "lip service" and a promise that a "Manager will call me back within 2-3 days". What a waste of... Read More

I ordered paint from Lowe's which should have been a on the shelf item. There was no Lowe's a thousand miles closer to me and Lowe's send my product across the country and it was supposed to be here more than a week ago. I called Lowe's and they said as long ass it is in shipping, they won't do anything. Until I receive the product, I can’t even cancel the order. What should have taken a day or two, has been a couple of weeks. The $426 I spend has cost me more than this order and Lowe’s don’t even care. I will not deal with Lowe’s anymore. What is happening to these companies that can't get help, but on the other hand, these companies show that they don't even care. Good bye Lowe's, I... Read More

I purchased a complete kitchen from them six years ago and bought Samsung appliances. I had the five year extended warranty plan and now my appliances are six years old my $2000+ Samsung gas slide in range oven quit working a month ago. I called Lowes in Sylva,NC where it was purchased and was informed they do not service their appliances. They also refused to give me the name of anyone who did this work. I have already called everyone in the area and no one will touch Samsung. I asked what I should do and the answer was buy a new stove. Zero rating!

Worst appliance contract ever sold DON'T purchase it. If you file a claim they will cancel your contract

S & S Appliance is absolutely the worst appliance repair company I have ever dealt with. I’m really not even sure why Lowes has these people listed as repair people for the Mobile area. Lowes provided these people as a warranty repair service, they are awful. They won’t answer calls, they wont return calls, they have a robocall confirm appointments then into the window of a 4 hours schedule make an excuses why they can’t come and cancel a scheduled appointment. The below information is directly from the job status from where S & S Appliance tracks each job at booking.rossware.com/check-status. 12/28/22 First documented on this date in their software, although the actual case...

Lowes 5-year, No worry Protection Plan for Major Appliance is bullshit. I called the service number today. My whirlpool dishwasher has worked fine, but the wheels on the front of the bottom drawer fell off on both sides. Ugh... the drawer drags and comes off track every time I open the door. So,.. when I called and explained the issue... I was told that it wasn't' covered because it is a "cosmetic issue". This is not cosmetic... my dishwasher is not in need of a facelift... I just need the wheels to function so I can load my dishwasher!!!

Do not buy this policy. We have had such poor customer service, inability to get correct answers, failure to have accurate records on our washer and dryer. After trying to schedule service we decided to cancel the policy. We cancelled it exactly as required in the Protection Plan Contract. We received an email advising it was cancelled and we would received a check which never came. Have spent literally hours trying to get your customer service and multiple emails. Spoke to 3 reps and was advised it was not cancelled, they could not explain the email received noting the cancellation and the refund and telling me I had made a claim which I had not. Promised a call from a senior supervisor... Read More
