Your new Kenmore ®product is designed and manufactured for years of dependable operation. But like all products, it may require preventive maintenance or repair from time to time. That's when having a Master Protection Agreement can save your money and aggravation. The Master Protection Agreement also helps extend the life of your new product. Here's what the Agreement* includes: • Parts and labor needed to help keep products operating properly under normal use, not just defects. Our coverage goes well beyond the product warranty. No deductible, no functional failure excluded from coverage - real protection. • Expert service by a force of more than 10,000 authorized Sears service technicians, which means someone you can trust will be working on your product. • Unlimited service calls and nationwide service, as often as you want us, whenever you want us. • "No=lemon" guarantee - replacement of your covered product if four or more product failures occur within twelve months. • Product replacement if your covered product can't be fixed. • Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your request - no extra charge. • Fast help by phone - we call it Rapid Resolution. Phone support from a Sears representative on all products. Think of us as a "talking owner's manual." • Power surge protection against electrical damage due to power fluctuations. • $250 food loss protection annually for any food spoilage that is the result of mechanical failure of any covered refrigerator or freezer. • Rental reimbursement if repair of your covered product takes longer than promised. • 10% discount off the regular price of any non-covered repair service and related installed parts Once you purchase the Agreement, a simple phone call is all that it takes for you to schedule service. You can call anytime day or night or schedule a service appointment online. The Master Protection Agreement is a risk-free purchase. If you cancel for any reason during the product warranty period, we will provide a full refund, or a prorated refund anytime after the product warranty period expires.
