Built-in Microwave Warranty Coverage

Many of us would be lost at mealtime if we couldn't just pop something in the microwave.That's why it's good to have home warranty coverage. An American Home Shield® home warranty ensures that when a covered problem strikes, you can simply place a service request.

American Home Shield will pay up to $2,000 per covered appliance ($4,000 with ShieldPlatinum™) for access, diagnosis, and repair/ replacement per the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement.

Built-in Microwave FAQs

Yes, our ShieldGold and ShieldPlatinum plans cover the parts and components of built-in microwaves.

We cover all components and parts of built-in microwaves. The ShieldGold plan covers up to $2,000 for each covered appliance. The ShieldPlatinum plan covers up to $4,000 for each covered appliance. See the page above and the plan agreement

American Home Shield covers built-in microwaves, which are designed to be mounted on a wall or installed in cabinetry rather than placed on a counter or another surface. We do not cover countertop microwaves.

If we can’t repair your covered built-in microwave, we’ll replace it subject to the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement and remove the defective item. 

You can place your first service request 30 days after you sign up for your plan. Service requests can easily be placed 24/7 online via MyAccount or by calling 1-888-691-2854 during standard business hours to request service.

Our best home warranty plan is the one that’s right for you and your home. The ShieldSilver plan covers the parts and components of your must-have systems like your heating and cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems. ShieldGold covers all of the above plus your laundry and kitchen appliances. And with ShieldPlatinum, you get coverage for just about everything: home systems and appliances, plus premium features like roof leak repair coverage and one free HVAC Tune-up per agreement term. No two homes are the same, and that’s why we have options – so you can find the plan that fits your needs. Please review the Sample Plan Agreement for specific coverage details.

The lifespan of most microwaves is between five and 10 years. Their shorter lifespan makes them even more important to protect with a home warranty.

A home warranty is a renewable service contract that lasts for one year. You can easily get a free, personalized quote based on your needs.

You can extend your microwave’s life by employing best practices like using the time-efficient auto settings, making sure you only use microwave-safe dishes, cleaning it regularly, and using surge protectors at the power outlet.

Our home warranty plans cover all parts and components of built-in microwaves.
