This morning, action news anchor tricia kean has 4 things you need to know before buying a warranty. < bill its suppose to protect everything about it, and we cant get to first base. Bill and cleo moore have a master protection agreement the part needing to be replaced, wasnt covered. Bill well we had the master protection plan. It makes no sense, and ive been paying for years. They purchased their Service Contract through sears, and pay 417 dollars every year. Cleo so were just giving you money every year for nothing . For a piece of paper . Sears fixed the air conditioning. With a 36 hundred dollar balance and theyre not happy about it. Cleo you willingly take my money every year, and make us feel we are covered. How dare you. So how do you avoid your own extended warranty nightmare . Number 1 look for special conditions, exclusions, and limitations. Some contracts limit the amount theyll pay for repair work, or replacements. Number 2 be sure you know who handles a claim. Many times repairs are handled by a third party. And sometimes, you may be required to return the item to the store. Number 3 look carefully at how long youre really covered. A contract offering 5 years of extended coverage, may only be providing 4. Thats because they sometimes include the manufacturers typical 1 year limited warranty. And number 4 learn about the free lookup period. Under certain circumstances, the warranty provider may be required to give you a full refund. But you may have as little as 10 days to act. Theres no where else for us to go. As for bill and cleo, contact 13 reached out to sears about their case. The Company Simply states the . Work was not covered by the sears master protection agreement. And they believe the charges are appropriate. But the question is, why wasnt it covered . Bill when sears intially came out and we signed up with the agreement, they checked everything. Sears checked the unit up there. Sears stopped responding to contact 13s questions. But heres what we know according to sears paperwork, bill and cleos repair was needed because their evaporator coil was leaking. Well guess what. Thats covered under the master protection agreement. See right here where it says centralized a c coil . According to a local a c expert, thats the same thing as an evaporator coil. Bill and cleo say they plan to fight the charges. Cleo i dont feel we owe it. Its wrong. Bill you are being totally unreasonable and unfair to us. Extended warranty. File a complaint with the Nevada Division of insurance. In some cases, you can also turn to the state contractors board. And dont forget contact 13 is here for you email us at 13 investigates ktnv dot com and well see what we can do to help.
