GE appliances come with a standard manufacturer’s warranty, but the company also offers extended protection through Bodewell Care Protection Plans. Administered by Assurant, these plans cover functional part failures resulting from normal use. Coverage is available for individual appliances, so you can customize your protection plan.
- Choice of multi‑year or renewable plans
- Includes up to $300 for spoiled food
- Plans are transferable to new owners
- Administered by a third party (Assurant)
- Claims capped at the appliance's original price
GE Service Contracts coverage
Unlike traditional home warranties that cover a mix of systems and appliances from various brands, GE Service Contracts (via Bodewell) are designed specifically for GE appliances. You enroll each specific appliance in a plan.
Plans typically cover mechanical and electrical breakdowns that occur after the manufacturer's warranty expires. Key benefits vary by plan but generally include:
- Power surge protection: Covered from day one.
- Food spoilage reimbursement: Up to $300 per incident for refrigerators/freezers.
- Laundry reimbursement: Up to $50 if your washer/dryer isn't fixed or replaced within 14 days.
Plans
Bodewell Care Protection Plans are typically available for GE appliances up to 15 to 20 years old, depending on the plan, appliance model and unit condition.
Eligible products include:
- Refrigerators and freezers
- Microwaves
- Dishwashers
- Washers and dryers
- Ranges, cooktops and ovens
- Water filtration systems
- Air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers
GE Service Contracts cost
Pricing isn’t fixed across appliances. The plan price appears on your Benefits Summary Page and depends on your product, model and plan type.
In general, expect to pay between $78 and $250 per year per appliance. You can pay upfront for a multi-year term (typically one to five years) or choose a monthly payment plan. You might receive a discount if you purchase coverage for multiple appliances at once.

GE Service Contracts coverage exclusions and limits
GE Service Contracts typically exclude:
- Cosmetic damage such as dents, scratches and rust
- Consumables (for example, lightbulbs, filters, batteries, shelves and knobs)
- Failures covered by recall or the manufacturer’s warranty
- Damage from misuse, abuse, improper installation or unauthorized repairs
- Preexisting defects or conditions noted before coverage began
- Damage from certain “acts of God” and external events beyond specified limits
- Accessories such as TV stands, mounts and furniture
Plans also have dollar limits. Liability is typically limited to the original purchase price of the appliance. If a repair costs more than the appliance is worth, they may offer a replacement or a cash settlement instead.
Be sure to review the full terms and conditions of your contract for the exact coverage, limits and exclusions that apply to your plan.

GE Service Contracts FAQ
What is Bodewell?
Bodewell is the consumer-facing brand for GE's extended service contracts. The plans are administered by Assurant, a large insurance provider that partners with major appliance manufacturers.
What does a GE Service Contract cover?
Plans can cover functional part failures, parts and labor, and benefits like food spoilage or power‑surge protection. These are subject to the exclusions and limits listed in your Benefits Summary and the specific plan’s terms.
Can I cancel my GE Service Contract, and do I get a refund?
Yes. You can cancel by contacting Bodewell or following the cancellation process in your contract terms. Most plans offer a full refund if you cancel within 30 days with no claims. Afterward, refunds are generally prorated and may include an administrative fee as allowed by your state.
When does coverage start?
Some benefits (like accidental damage, power surge, food spoilage and laundry reimbursement) may begin on the plan purchase date. Full functional part coverage usually takes effect after the manufacturer’s warranty expires or for failures the manufacturer doesn’t cover.
Who performs the repairs?
Repairs are carried out by GE Appliances Factory Service technicians or authorized third-party servicers so you know that genuine GE parts are used.
