About Sears Home Services

Sears’ home warranty program is called Sears Home Services. The program covers repairs for a wide range of major brands, and Sears employs more than 1,500 manufacturer-trained technicians with an average of 10 years of experience.

Pros
  • Covers systems and appliances regardless of age, make or model
  • Provides a 180-day workmanship guarantee on all repairs
  • Offers 24/7 customer service for claim filing
Cons
  • 30-day wait period before the first claim can be filed
  • Some systems have individual coverage caps as low as $1,500
  • Plan availability and options vary by location

Sears Home Services coverage and plans

Sears Home Services home warranty plans cover unexpected breakdowns of common household systems and appliances due to normal wear and tear, no matter the age, make or model. Plans have a 30-day wait time for repairs but include a 180-day workmanship guarantee for repairs by Sears‑arranged technicians.

Sears Home Services offers several plan types, including appliance‑only, systems‑only and combined “whole home” options. Availability and exact lineup vary by state.

Plan details

While coverage details can vary by ZIP code and certain exceptions apply, here is an example of what you can expect from the standard plan tiers:

Add-on coverage

While some earlier versions of these plans did offer a la carte coverage add-ons, Sears Home Services plans no longer offer add-on coverage for items like pools, spas and septic systems.

What does Sears Home Services not cover?

Like other home warranties, Sears Home Services excludes mechanical failures not caused by normal wear and tear. They don’t cover every part or situation.

Common exclusions listed in sample Sears Protect contracts include:

  • Structural components and items outside the main covered property
  • Cosmetic damage like dents or scratches
  • Any noises that are not caused by a mechanical failure
  • Failure caused by improper installation of parts or unauthorized repairs
  • Certain parts and components
  • Parts not made by the manufacturer
  • Inaccessible systems like concealed ductwork, sewer tanks and wiring
  • Damage caused by an infestation, people or pets
  • Breakdown due to accident or misuse

Sears Home Services coverage caps and service fees

Some parts and repairs have a coverage cap, meaning the company will pay up to a certain amount for replacements or repairs, and you are responsible for any costs above that limit.

According to recent contract samples, typical coverage caps include:

  • Up to $3,500 per covered appliance on many plans
  • Up to $6,000 per covered system (heating, cooling, or other systems), depending on the plan
  • Aggregate annual limits around $12,000 per contract year

In most areas, you’ll pay a $100 service fee when a technician visits for a claim.

Sears Home Services plan cost

Because pricing isn’t standardized across all states, the best way to get accurate costs is to request a quote online or by phone for your address and preferred plan. The ConsumerAffairs Research Team contacted the company for a quote. Our quote for a home in Texas was $59.99 per month for the Appliance Plan.

Compare with competitors

While Sears Home Services doesn’t offer add-ons like most other major home warranty companies, it provides unique retail-linked benefits like 15% off Sears PartsDirect and 25% off non-covered appliance and HVAC repairs. Generally, though, you can expect to pay about the same deductible for a Sears Protect plan as you would for competitors.

Sears Home Services cancellation policy

You can cancel your Sears home warranty at any time. If you cancel your contract within the first 30 days and have not filed a claim, you are entitled to a full refund of your contract fees. If you cancel after 30 days or after a claim has been filed, you’ll receive a pro-rated refund and may be charged a $25 cancellation fee.

    Pathetic customer service. For past 2 months my refrigerator has not been fixed. Agents keep repeating the same thing over and over again - "We are escalating to our back end teams." Nothing happens. Service Part gets shipped to the wrong address, and they have no way of reordering it again. Keep charging the deductible multiple times a technician comes, even though the issue is not fixed. Absolutely horrendous, deceptive and hideous business. Never ever buy a plan from this company.

    One star is being generous. NO live customer service available. My initial appointment was within 2 days. The technician had no customer service etiquette. Did not introduce himself, did not seem to enjoy his job. Could not handle talking with an elderly homeowner and got uncomfortable when she asked some personal questions while waiting for a response from his customer service tech whom was taking almost an hour when he gave up and had me sign the estimate for the repair.

    He scheduled the repair according to the estimate of time it would take the part to come in and took an immediate payment. Week of repair, I get text messages saying the part will not arrive on time for the appointment and it needs to be rescheduled. I reschedule the appointment which is two week later. Through out the same day, I get messages going back and forth about the parts' arrival will be on time for the original schedule and won't be on time. I lost my original spot and then had to wait the two weeks.

    Two weeks passed, and I confirmed my appointment. I scheduled time off and waited for the technician/messages and did not get any messages that the technician was running late or any updates. The scheduled time passes, and I check online and it now says that I need to reschedule. I try to reschedule all weekend since the my appointment was on a Friday afternoon, but it just says someone will be in contact with me. NO one contacted me and not electronic communications. Monday morning I still can't get an appointment, and no communication from Sears. By Monday afternoon if finally get an appointment but it is for 3 weeks out. Now I am almost 2 months without a washer. Calling is useless because you can't get a live service rep, just a computer. I'm stuck because I already paid $600 for the parts and installation.

      If you need service within 2 months of your warranty expiring, they will keep "rescheduling" service and never show up at all. If you renew the warranty, then they magically show up for the first appointment. Get your extended warranty somewhere else, not from these thieves.

      This company is a joke. My refrigerator is not cooling. I called yesterday for an appointment. It was set between hrs of 8am to 5pm. I stayed at home for appointment. I received a text late saying they were running late an said arrival would be 4pm to 6pm. I the got message saying 5pm to 7 pm. I then got message that appointment would be 3 days later between 8am to 5pm. I called to cancel. You can't talk to a person only AI. AI answered and said that the appointment was for a dishwasher. I said I wanted to cancel. That AI transferred me to another AI. When asked why I was canceling, I said because of AI. It said it would last the reason as other. The techs may be ok, but service sucks. I will not waste my time again with this company.

      Waiting 9 months still to get my heat repaired. I paid the $100 service fee. Started a claim in September 2025, it's now June 2026. It's still not repaired. They keep sending techs to look but nobody fixes. We went all winter with no heat. Our pipes froze which we had to fix. Now someone finally has ordered a part and they want another $50 to fix it.

      Also have a claim to fix my microwave. It's been a few months. Same thing. They send people to look. Everyone guesses what's wrong. Even did a video call that resulted in them saying what several of the previous techs said that Sears sent. The last guy ordered the part, installed it. And that wasn't the problem. Now we're waiting again. We have been with this company at least 10 yrs. Nobody but AI answers the phone, you can't do get anyone online. I have never been so upset with a company in my life. I feel I have been scammed since I pay my fee every month . After my issues are fixed I will be joining a different company.

      I am extremely dissatisfied with Sears appliance service. A technician came out twice to repair my washing machine. Parts were ordered and delivered to my home, but instead of completing the repair properly, the technician took the parts with him and reportedly sent them back to Sears. Despite this, I was still charged for those parts through my bank and have not been properly reimbursed. The service itself was completely unprofessional. The technician's assistant appeared to smell strongly of alcohol and behaved in an unprofessional manner throughout the visit. The entire experience left me with very little confidence in Sears' service department.

      Between the poor communication, mishandling of parts, billing issues, and unprofessional conduct of the service team, this has been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. I expected much better from a company with Sears' history and reputation. I would not recommend Sears appliance repair service to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere for appliance repairs.

      I have had the Sears maintenance plan for over 30 years and never really utilized it until recently.I have been trying to get my washing machine fixed through Sears for three months now. I scheduled an appointment. They never showed up. I tried to call to find out why that’s all I could get was an AI robot. Finally after trying for days I got a live person. The technician is out of New York. They send someone out to diagnose the problem. Then they have to order the part and like apparently there’s someone in Connecticut. It’s been three weeks now since the problem was diagnosed. I haven’t heard a word, called back. Got the AI system, kept trying for days. Finally got a live person. She escalated the problem to a higher level and said someone would get back to me within 24 hours. That hasn’t happened. This is the worst service. Please do not get Sears.

      Warning! Sears Service sends incompetent repairmen and is a complete scam run by an overseas scheduling and repair care team. After 3 terrifying hours, the Sears serviceman would not leave until I paid via credit card for an overcharged service fee of 400 for simple maintenance! This is without all confirmation of charges..he just made it up!. Two hours being conned into signing up for the Sears Protect home warranty plan of 700 dollars per year to save 50% off his overrated 400 dollar fee... Which was also not the truth. He refused to leave my home until I paid without an invoice! Alone, afraid to call the police...

      Overview of events: A Sears appliance Service Call was requested. The serviceman was incompetent... He had to look up in his van how to place a plastic part back onto my refrigerator drawer. No parts or repairs were required... A maintenance at best. This was not what I expected, unlike in my 40 years of home appliance repairs! Usually, they check your refrigerator before starting the service..He just did what I showed him!. His main objective appeared to be a setup, a con to sign up for the Warranty. I could never trust Sears to enter my home again. Buyer Beware

      I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction and urgent concern regarding the ongoing service request for my broken washing machine. [If you have a Service Request Number, please insert it here, e.g., "Reference Service Request Number: 123456"]. Following my initial service request, a technician promptly visited on [Date of initial visit, if known] and correctly identified the necessary part for the repair. I was initially encouraged by the efficiency, as the required component arrived within a couple of days, leading me to believe a swift resolution was imminent.

      However, the process has since encountered a critical breakdown. Despite receiving the part, your computer system has failed to recognize its delivery, preventing me from scheduling the crucial follow-up repair. I have made numerous attempts to rectify this systemic error through various channels: I tried to update the status via your online portal, but it repeatedly showed the part as pending. I placed multiple phone calls to your customer service, only to be informed that the status could not be manually updated to reflect the part's arrival. Even interactions with your virtual assistant proved fruitless, confirming the inability to override the incorrect system status.

      As a result of this persistent system failure, I have been forced to accept a repair appointment that is now scheduled for six weeks after my initial service request. Furthermore, the earliest available appointment from today’s date is still an additional four weeks away. Being without a functional washing machine for such an extended period is completely unacceptable and causes significant disruption to my household.

      This experience has severely eroded my confidence in the warranty service I purchased, leading me to believe it is a considerable waste of both money and time when the fundamental process of securing a repair is so profoundly flawed. I demand an immediate and expedited resolution to this issue. I expect an alternative arrangement to be made for my washing machine to be repaired significantly sooner than the currently proposed four-week waiting period. Please escalate this matter and provide a concrete plan to rectify this unacceptable delay without further inconvenience to me.

      Do not, I repeat, do not use Sears for any repair. I have never in my life seen a company with a more apathetic approach to quality and wildly unprofessional employees. Had a guy tell me to go to hell, refuse to do the service, walked off the job "because (he) can". And then lied and said I wasn't there (have him on camera talking to me). Hate having to give one star. No one to talk to, no one to make things right.
