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.

I have a Samsung Front load washer. I've tried to get Lowes to send a repair company out to fix it for over 2 weeks. The apparently don't have someone in this area to repair a Samsung Washer. I live in a metropolitan area so I don't know what is the problem. I would never recommend Lowes protection plans to anyone

they supposedly got a new appliance repair system and its terrible, i have been give 2 different days appts for repair of my Samsung refrig. (good thing it was not major issue!!!) and both times NO ONE showed up, the 2nd time i called the service place given and that person said they immediately responded to Lowes that they did NOT service Samsung appliances.. but i guess it didn't get handed off to whomever made my appt. I am very discussed with this Lowe's repair center...try calling and its 30min wait... oh they call you back if you so choose, live 4 hrs later MAYBE... terrible for customer services, take the $$ up front and the hell w/the customer when they need assistance..

I bought a combination Bosch Oven/Microwave unit a few years ago and have been very happy with it. Given the importance of the appliance and the expense, I purchased the extended warranty. The Microwave stopped working and I called Lowes to initiate service repair. 2 months, 6 service calls, 5 installations of the SAME part and it still does not even turn on. And the oven is now intermittently not working. I call Lowes and most of the time they cannot even find that I have a warranty with them...in spite of me providing my info and the case #. then when I escalate (several times), they log the escalation and say that someone will contact me....no contacts! The repair company... Read More

we purchased a three year extended warranty from Lowes on our washer and dryer , the washer died and required service , we called Lowes repeatedly and after waiting an hour on hold it would just hang up , the next day we opted for the call back , which took two hours to happen we made an appointment that was over a week away . The appointment day came and went no one showed no one called , how unprofessional and poorly run is that . we called service again , they offered another appointment almost a week away ! Are you kidding me ! they should have made an appointment for the next day--- again they don't care. now we are three weeks without a washer and have spent over 200 dollars in... Read More

I was very disappointed with Lowes extended warranty. I had to wait on the phone for over an hour every time I have called. I have had to wait over a week each time before they would come out for service. There has to be better options. In the future, I will pursue the options like manufacturers extended warrant. I checked, they could have come out in two days compared to the 10 days that Lowes plan provided.

LOWES WARRENTY PROGRAM ON APPLIANCES IS A WASTE OF $$$$ WHEN YOU CALL YOU ARE ON HOLD FOREVER THAN THEY WANT THE MODEL # AND SERIAL # FOR APPLIANCE. SHOULD THEY NOT HAVE THAT UNDER YOUR NAME??? THAN THEY PUT YOU ON HOLD!!! I GOT TOTALLY FUSTRATED AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS AND CALLED MY LOCAL REPAIR SERVICE CO. WHO CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY. MY OVEN IS NOW FIXED without jumping through hoops. NEVER AGAIN WILL i BUY EXTENDED WARRENTY PROGRAMS......WASTE OF $$$$ and time!!

I bought a washer and protection plan but what good is it if you can’t contact anyone. This is my second day trying to reach them today I’ve been on hold for 3 hours and haven’t spoke to a human yet. It shouldn’t require this much effort! The protection plan will be expired by the time someone picks up my call. Beyond frustrating!!!

I obtained the 5 year extended warranty with the purchase of a Samsung washing machine. Getting a service provider actually scheduled to come to our home to fix the washing machine has been a frustrating exercise beyond explanation. When you call the Lowe’s service number, they schedule a third party appliance repair technician to come evaluate the machine and give you a date and time range. On at least three occasions, the provider has either called the day that they were supposed to come and either cancelled or delayed the time. On the first repair visit they called and delayed from a 10am to 2pm visit to a 5 pm to 7pm and didn’t show until 7:30pm!! On at least two occasions, they... Read More
