What does CPS typically cover for appliance retailers?
CPS coverage is designed to protect appliance retailers and their customers from real-world mechanical and electrical failures, but it does not cover cosmetic or avoidable issues. Here’s a clear breakdown:
What Does CPS Cover?
- Mechanical and electrical failures after manufacturer warranty ends
- Parts and labor for covered repairs, including control boards, motors, pumps, and compressors
- Service coordination through CPS with nationwide and factory-authorized networks
- Replacement or reimbursement if repair is not feasible on covered failures
- Coverage available for new, open-box, scratch-and-dent, refurbished, and qualifying used appliances (varies by program)
What Is Not Covered by CPS?
- Cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, chips, rust, paint, or appearance-only issues)
- Non-functional parts (handles, knobs, shelves, decorative trim, glass shelving)
- Consumables and wear items (filters, bulbs, batteries, belts, gaskets, fuses)
- Accidental damage, misuse, neglect, or improper installation
- Environmental damage (flooding, storms, fire, power surges, water intrusion)
- Pre-existing conditions or failures already present before coverage started
How does the Consumer Priority Service (CPS) claims process work for retailers and customers?
A claim is triggered when a customer experiences a covered failure and contacts CPS by phone, online portal, web chat, text, or email. CPS manages the claim review, verifies coverage, and determines the next steps for service.
CPS coordinates the repair or replacement using either the selling dealer (if they service) or a qualified service provider from their nationwide network. This streamlined process reduces the retailer’s workload and provides a clear experience for the customer, with CPS handling communication, scheduling, and claim resolution from start to finish.
