Garbage Disposal

Garbage Disposal warranty coverage

Your garbage disposal is a helpful and reliable kitchen appliance. They typically last for about a decade, but during that time you may experience some problems. Having the right coverage can make it a lot easier to keep it up and running. Rather than panicking when you discover a covered problem, you can simply place a service request online or call American Home Shield®.

American Home Shield will pay up to $4,000 per covered appliance ($7,000 with ShieldComplete℠ plan) for access, diagnosis, and repair/replacement per the limitations and exclusions in your plan agreement.
