What does CPS typically cover for appliance retailers?
When appliance retailers partner with Consumer Priority Service, coverage focuses on mechanical and electrical failures that occur during normal use after the manufacturer warranty expires. CPS programs are designed to cover the most common repair events that impact appliance function and ownership satisfaction, but there are important exclusions retailers should understand.
What Does CPS Cover?
- Mechanical and electrical failures after the manufacturer warranty ends
- Parts and labor required for covered repairs
- Service coordination through CPS, including use of factory-authorized networks when available
- Replacement or reimbursement if repair is not feasible
- Coverage options for new, open-box, scratch-and-dent, refurbished, and eligible used appliances under select programs
What Is Not Covered by CPS?
- Cosmetic damage such as scratches, dents, paint issues, or rust
- Non-functional parts like handles, knobs, shelves, or decorative trim
- Consumable or maintenance items (filters, bulbs, belts, batteries, gaskets)
- Accidental damage, misuse, abuse, or neglect
- Water, flood, fire, storm, or natural disaster damage
- Pre-existing conditions or issues before coverage began
- Installation errors or external infrastructure problems
How does the CPS claims process work for appliance retailers?
When a customer experiences an issue with a covered appliance, they initiate a claim by contacting Consumer Priority Service directly—by phone, web chat, portal, text, Facebook, or email. The customer provides product and issue details, and the CPS team reviews coverage and verifies the claim quickly.
CPS then manages the entire service process, from assigning a technician to coordinating repair or replacement if needed, and keeps the customer updated throughout. This approach streamlines claims administration for the retailer, allowing CPS to handle service logistics while the dealer stays informed and can participate in the process if they choose.
