Our brand new fridge (not even a year old) began to flash an error code this past weekend. After looking for weeks and having to wait a long time for it to arrive, I'd bought the extended warranty for it, because I knew how hard it was to get a fridge that would fit our dimensions. Seems that's the game with appliances today. If the full replacement plan is a good deal less than replacement cost, you should buy it, since odds are you're going to need to replace that appliance in due course. They just don't make them like they used to!
Thankfully, our old fridge, which we moved downstairs, was built to last. Even though it's unsightly, and kind of small, it's providing our only source of refrigeration for now.
The one appliance I replaced this year which I did not buy a plan for, is due to expire soon. Whirlpool sent me an extended warranty plan for the dishwasher today, which was priced at nearly the exact same price as the unit itself. Clearly, that is not a good deal! Since we can procure another dishwasher for about the same price as an extended warranty, I would not advice purchasing a plan in this case.
Our service appointment is Thursday. I hope they will have all the necessary parts with them and get our fridge back up and running same day.
