Extended Warranties - a Reluctant Fan


Last week, my 10-year-old Kenmore washer died in the middle of the 4th load on my wash day. I fished out a couple of sheets and dialed around until I got a spin cycle to try to get the water out. All was well until I got to within 2 inches of the bottom of the tub, then a horrible clanking and a bad smell told me to shut the thing off immediately. Fortunately, we found out that the extended warranty we bought from Sears a few years ago was still in effect! We have argued a lot about whether or not to get them lately. I've been reading that they are a waste of money and an easy source of upgrades for appliance stores.

Today, the repairman came out, replaced a timer, and then talked us into a new warranty on the washer AND the dryer that will last until 2015. We are either big-time suckers or brilliant.

    I am a big fan of Kenmore appliances. They last forever!

    Those garbage truck drivers are real heroes!
