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.

Do not buy from Lowes anymore and their warranty!We’ve called Lowes since The beginning on October 2021 for ourSamsung washer that just stops washing. They send out a repair man that was very limited in English and hard to understand and ever told us what the issue was. He said it works. Apparently after not hearing from any repair for a couple weeks I called to find out the part needed for repair was on back order and to call back weekly. I did this for 2 months that repair company Lowes sent out. I finally called Lowes to see what the hell is going on?, Get this it is already December. The Lowes rep says that they will send out request from the Lowes warehouse to see if they have the... Read More

Well I see from reading through here that I'm not alone. In spite of my extended warranty on my fridge, here I am, 2 months after it stopped cooling with zero resolution. Their service provider repeatedly cancels service and has already told me there is nothing more that they can do to repair the fridge, but still I have to wait for them to come and do whatever to it while they reschedule time after time. Lowes CSRs lie and lie and lie - they are trained to lie no matter what. They will not even cover enough for me to continue to rent a fridge so soon I will be completely screwed. Shame on you Lowes. I will never shop there again which is sad because I manage several rental properties and... Read More

The extended warranties they sell are a scam - do not purchase - we purchased a three year extended warranty for our fridge 2 years ago - we scheduled an appointment and the company that Lowes contracts with - NAREFCO - called us to confirm (after Lowes sent us an email confirming) we tried calling back - no one ever answered - tried leaving a message - mailbox was always full - finally the day of the appointment we finally got hold of a person at NAREFCO who said since we did not respond they cancelled and we would have to call Lowes to reschedule - we called Lowes again and explained what happened - they tried calling the company - and again - no answer - so Lowes scheduled another...

We bought a new Samsung dishwasher from Lowe's almost 3 years ago. In addition, we bought a new washer/dryer, stove and refrigerator from Lowe's. We have had problems with the dishwasher from the start - the soap dispenser malfunctions. We have had your repairmen come out 4 times now only to find the same problem. We were promised a new dishwasher several times if it wasn't fixed "this" time. I am sitting here waiting for a repairman to show up "sometime" today. I can't get an estimate for when he will arrive from the unhelpful young phone operator. I've been buying appliances from Lowe's for years. NO MORE! Your Customer Service rating of 4/5 is completely bogus. I give you a... Read More

Buyer Beware! If you need a warranty, I would shop elsewhere. We purchased all the appliances for our kitchen from Lowes and got an extended warranty on our fridge and double oven unit. As it turns out, the Fridge stopped cooling after 1.5 years, so we called Lowes and then sent out a local company in Central NY called Northshore Appliance. The tech came out the first time and unplugged/plugged in the compressor and said, let's see if that works. I report back the next day saying it did not work, so he says to get a thermometer for the fridge to see what the temps are. So we buy one and confirm the fridge is at 50 degrees. I mentioned that I thought the problem was the evaporator fan... Read More

I purchased an extended warranty on a Samsung Gas Dryer. I’ve had previous repairs done by differing service providers. It is now giving the “vent sensor” error again. The time and date Lowes Warranty repair give you are always a week or more out than what someone will actually come out to address your issue. Even the warranty repair agent told me their scheduling system never syncs up with the service providers. A technician has come out twice in recent weeks with TEKNITON but never fixed the issue. The error message returns soon after use after they leave. They had me run it on a refresh cycle after I told them the clothes were still damp after 2 cycles on steam wrinkle release. They...

Twelve days after reporting my oven is shutting down and locking its door when I heat it up, Lowe's Protection Plan warranty folks have not yet sent a repair person to fix it! At first they told me there was no authorized repair for my Bosch range here on the Monterey Peninsula. Then after the next call when I told them I had found an authorized repair business within 10 miles of my home, they informed me that they didn't have a contract with them. Then they said they would find a source by the sixth business day after my having made the report. That day came and went without any call to me. Today (12th day) they told me I'd receive a call by tomorrow end of day or I should call them... Read More

DO NOT BUY WARRANTY. They will not answer phone nor call back. Water heater not working. Looked up warranty and called number. Received a recording to leave message or call during time they mentioned. I decided to call next morning. Recording said to stay on hold or leave phone number and someone would call back in 12 minutes. I left my number. Waited for 1 1/2 hours. No call back. I called and put my phone on speaker. No one answered. Just a repeated message. After 1 hour I disconnected. I call a local business and it cost me $105 to fix water heater. I would like to mention. Go to Home Depot. Call The warranty company they have and they have immediate response. No problems and... Read More
