Terms and conditions
What happens if my appliance breaks down?
1.1The first thing to do is get the details of your plan together with make and model of your appliance and phone our engineering department on 0333 344 6294 . It is sometimes possible to resolve appliance issues in this way.
1.2If the fault cannot be resolved over the phone, we will arrange for an engineer visit to inspect and repair your appliance. There are no limits to the number of repair calls you can make.
1.3If, in the engineer’s opinion, a repair is not possible, in most cases we will arrange to replace your appliance with a model that has the same or a similar specification, up to a maximum value of £500.
1.4If we cannot reasonably arrange for a suitable replacement, we may opt to give you vouchers instead. The vouchers will be for the price of the similar appliance we have offered and not exceed the maximum plan values as stated in 1.3
1.5Please note that you will be responsible for the costs involved with delivery and installation costs of the new appliance and the disposal costs of your old appliance if yours is replaced.
