For most of us, the luxury of having a functional dishwasher is one we've come to take for granted (more power to you if you enjoy washing dishes!). Unless you have a magic wand, it's not ideal to be left in a situation where your dishwasher isn’t working for an extended period of time.
There are a lot of things to consider when you’re making a home appliance purchase. If you had to purchase any major home appliances over the past few years, you might have been among the millions of people that experienced extreme delays, shipping challenges or incorrect orders. Pandemic-related supply chain issues are still affecting consumers trying to purchase new appliances. Many consumers bought appliances they didn’t really want purely because of inventory issues. The very real difficulty of purchasing and receiving a new appliance makes it even more important to protect your investment with an appliance extended warranty.
With a product protection plan, no matter whether you have a Frigidaire dishwasher or an LG dishwasher, you'll be covered for wear and tear, mechanical and electrical issues, even power surge damage. Instead of waiting months for a new dishwasher if you have a problem, file a claim with Mulberry and we'll take care of your dishwasher woes. You won't have the added cost of dishwasher repair, you'll never pay a deductible and there are no hidden fees.

According to manufacturers surveyed by consumer reports, the average life of a dishwasher is about 10 years. Although, the average dishwasher lifespan will depend on several factors:
Even though most dishwashers are expected to last for 10 years, it’s common for issues to start occurring as soon as five years after installation. So you might find yourself paying out-of-pocket for various repairs throughout your machine’s lifetime.
The cost of dishwasher repair depends on the nature of the problem and can range from $150 to over $300. It might not sound like much for a one-off repair service like if your dishwasher won't drain, but if you need to have a professional come over more than once because your idea for DIY dishwasher detergent didn't quite go as planned, it can quickly add up to more than the cost of a new machine. If you want to keep money in your pocket and avoid hefty dishwasher repair costs, make the small up-front investment in an appliance extended warranty.
Any large appliances should come with a limited manufacturer warranty, but that typically only covers the basic parts and labor protection for the first year. Specific parts might be covered for a bit longer, but there are limitations when it comes to what type of damage actually qualifies under the limited warranty.
An extended warranty provides longer-term, more comprehensive coverage. There’s a lot that could go wrong between years 2-10 - and it's important to make sure you're covered for the long haul, so your machine will last longer than the average dishwasher, and you can avoid the dishwasher repair costs.
