About GE Service Contracts

This profile has not been claimed by the company. See reviews below to learn more or submit your own review.

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.

Pros
  • Choice of multi‑year or renewable plans
  • Includes up to $300 for spoiled food
  • Plans are transferable to new owners
Cons
  • 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.

The following table shows the average annual cost to cover common appliances, based on quotes accurate at the time of publishing.

You can find more specific estimates on the Bodewell Care Protection Plan website.

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 claims

You can submit claims 24/7 by visiting the Bodewell website or calling the number listed in your plan documents. You’ll provide your contract number and ZIP code, describe the issue and work with Bodewell to schedule service with an authorized technician.

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.

    DO NOT BUY GE APPLIANCES. Microwave broke after 4 month. Transferred around. Told I would get an email after two days that would ask for reciept and give me instructions on how to buy a new one and get reimbursed. Never got an email. Rep on the phone (Erika) would stay silent for a long time and then she was ready to hang up without explaining what were the next steps.

    I have a GE gas range (purchased through Lowe's) that's about 7 months old that I can't use because the oven heats so unevenly that most products I cook are burned on one side and undercooked on the other. This started happening within the first 2 months after purchase. GE doesn't have any techs in my area, so had to go with the local repair company. The one guy available in my area had never seen an oven like mine so didn't know how it was supposed to operate. After his 15 minute visit without testing anything, he wrote a report to GE that it was operating as designed. And I was told by GE that they couldn't do anything more because they had to use this report. Even after I sent a video of the oven working properly, I was told there was nothing they could do.

    The ONLY option was for me to get a 2nd opinion, but this meant hiring my own technician, and GE covering ONLY $250 of it, even though the item is still well within the warranty period. $250 doesn't even cover the cost of the technician visit. Such poor coverage and customer service from such a large company. I'll never buy another GE product.

      I had an issue with my dishwasher in Sept 2025. It took almost 2 months for the repair. It is a seasonal residence and we discovered in March 2026 that the repair had not "held." At that point, GE was using Bodewell for servicing. TERRIBLE! Even though GE had extended my warranty twice, by the time Bodewell was able to schedule service, I was told my area was no longer covered. I found someone to do the repair but they determined the unit could not be fixed. And GE has only offered a big discount on a new one. NO THANK YOU! I will NEVER buy GE again - and I was a loyal customer for 20+ years. Horrendous customer service model. Even the original servicer said that working directly with GE had always been fine, but Bodewell is a nightmare.

      The Bodewell repairman told me my brand new GE profile dishwasher was leaking because I put too much soap in it. When I told him there was no soap in there he said I rinsed my dishes too well so the soap wasn't able to effectively eat anything on the dishes. He said I was using too much soap.. I told him I wasn't using any soap for the last four or five cycles and that there was no soap scum on the floor, where the leak was, he kept telling me it wasn't the dishwasher's fault that it's leaking. Honestly, why is GE using this company for their warranty work? The Customer Service rep told me I should go out and get a plumber. That's what they recommend all of their customers do instead of having them repair it. Now they have referred me to JNM appliances because they don't know how to repair a brand new dishwasher.

      First experience with a Bodewell service call was satisfactory; my GE dishwasher was fixed and worked fine up until now. Made another call and was informed that my area is no longer covered, and I would have to find another company to service my appliance. At this point, it's probably more cost effective to purchase a new dishwasher. Not buying a GE dishwasher or any other GE appliances anymore.

      If we could give ZERO stars we would. When your GE appliance needs repair you get BODEWELL—a 3rd party repair company. They are frustrating and unreliable. They will change your appointment multiple times with no notice or contact. We had a Monday April 20, 2026 appointment 8-12. They never showed. When we called we were told by the automated system it was changed to Thursday April 23, 2026. We called this morning and had it changed to today between 7-11am. We have a confirmation number. Called BODEWELL and it was changed to NEXT Tuesday April 28. They have no record of these appointments. This is an incredibly difficult company to get a hold of a human and speak to regarding repairs. Makes me rethink getting GE appliances.

      Stay away from purchasing GE Appliances simply because if something goes wrong you'll have to deal with Bodewell. Bodewell is the 3rd Party repair service for GE. They are unreliable, never follow through with promised contacts, and never scheduled a repair appointment. They finally replaced our Refrigerator under Manufacturers Warranty, but that took 3 Months. They are a Train Wreck, stay away!!!!

      ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I don't waste time writing reviews, but I am so pissed and disappointed about all of our interactions and experiences with Bodewell Appliance Care that I felt compelled to get it out into the universe. The matching cabinet panel fell off of our Monogram dishwasher and we were unable to get it back on because the flimsy, cheap metal used on the dishwasher door was completely bent and mangled. We called the supplier who submitted the service request to GE who sent out their contracted "service experts" at Bodewell. At the initial appointment to fix the dishwasher door, THE TECHNICIANS BROKE THE CIRCUIT BOARD and had to order a replacement wiring harness to make it work again. Dishwasher was out of commission for a week until the new harness came in and the technician was able to replace it.

      Upon getting the dishwasher to work again, the technicians completely forgot about the INITITAL ISSUE and the door/cabinet panel was never addressed. I had to call and schedule another appointment for a technician to come out and inspect the door, SINCE THERE WAS NO RECORD OF THE INTITAL ISSUE. Technician came by and just said we needed to order a new door. Fine. Door, gets ordered, technician shows up, replaces the door, puts the panel back on, tells us not to pull the handle too hard or the panel will fall off again, door slams open THE SAME DAY because the tension was not set correctly for the extra weight, and THE PANEL FALLS OFF AGAIN. Call immediately and they say another technician will come out in 5 days, but we will be their first stop. Fine, whatever. Appointment day (widow 8am-12pm), no one shows. 11:30am I call and they say the technician will call me with an ETA.

      12:15pm no call no show, I call again and they say I am not on the schedule and there is NO RECORD OF EITHER OF MY LAST TWO CONVERSATIONS. Offer me another appointment the next day 12-5pm. I decline because I am not waiting around for another 5 hours, and I ask to be escalated to get an exact appointment time. Support team says there is no way to do that, EVEN FOR A CUSTOMER WHO HAS BEEN SCREWED OVER AND OVER AGAIN BY THEIR COMPANY. The only thing they can do is request that we are the first stop on the day of the appointment. I understand that mistakes happen, but our experiences with this company HAVE ALL BEEN DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING, and the worst part is that we can not ask for or receive any compensation because this is all being done under warranty! What an awful business.

      3/9/2026 ice maker and freezer not working, fridge working. Bodewell was referred by the insurance co. Tech when he left, the right fridge door lower than left, he said call insurance co, get a request and he will be out to fix it. The next morning, not only the freezer and ice maker not working, now the refrigerator is not working, included with the parts was a new evaporator, which wasn't installed. Said it didn't need to be installed, so we had to move everything out of the fridge and put into the one in the garage.

      I purchased all new GE appliances for my new in April 2024. My appliances were delivered on June 15, 2024 because I did not move into the new home after my April closing date. My double wall over that I $1700 for upper over light will not go off. I called GE/Bodewell Appliance care expert in Nov 2024 to tell them what was happening. They have been sending different technicians out almost monthly to try fix the light. They have replaced everything but the light will not go off. It is March 6, 2026, there was a technician at my home today trying to fix this oven and have decided to order more parts. I’m currently on hold with Bodewell Customer service. I ask to speak to management and the customer complaints rep have put me on hold for 32 min as I type this review. Please do not purchase GE appliances. They do not take care of their customer.
