I got my first built in dish washer 2 years ago this month when we re-did the kitchen. After the first year I got a notice stating that I could buy an extended warranty. It was offering 4 more years of coverage for $129.00. I had to call the repairman once the first year because it wasn't emptying out completely. The machine was UN-level. No charge. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money at the time or not but the husband said "yes". So I sent in the money and bought the extra coverage. About a month ago my dishwasher quit again. I finally got around to calling for a repair. The service man came Wednesday. Prognosis, bad motor so it needed a new one and another part was needed. $400.00 not counting the service call, twice, he had to order the parts and come back again this week to fix it. My cost? Nothing because it was covered in my warranty contract!
Lesson learned, always get the extended warranty.

Smart girl. Good advice.
We never buy the extended warranty but I guess we've been lucky. We've never been hit with a lemon. All the experts say to not buy, but in your case it paid off. I guess Harry had some good insight.
Extended warranties have come in handy for us too. Hope your dishwasher is up and running!
An "Afterthought" - tell me about the egglplant and gladd the pulled pork was a hit.
I hate that your dishwasher broke, but so cool that you had the warranty!
I'm slowly starting to get that whole concept. You never know what's going to happen, and it's nice to know that you'll be taken care of and you don't have to worry about the money
If it is a big purchase......I always buy the extended warranty! I did for my computer and TV. We've had to take the computer in a couple of times and it was all free. I agree with you on this. It seems like a lot of money, but is well worth it!!!! So glad you were covered!!
So true.
I needed this advice today. It's my last chance to extend the warranty on my treadmill. I'll do it.
wow, and I always say no. Just said now a couple days ago... wonder if I should change that...
