Can anyone recommend a warranty for our LG washing machine which is due to expire previously with Gillmans.
Thanks,

Why don't you put £15 a month in a separate account to cover any repairs or replacement.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

is it not best to get an extended warranty because call out fees/parts are expensive obviously its an extra expense etc.0

How long have you had the machine and has it ever broken down?Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

If you read on this site and say Which? You will find that extended warranties are overpriced and offer poor value for money. Call outs are expensive if you use the manufacturers engineers but half the price if you use a local independent engineer. Plus parts are a lot less expensive if you get them on the web.
Personally I think they are a con. No doubt you were encouraged to buy an extended warranty by a sales assistant who told you how brilliant he machine was when you looked t it in the store but as soon as you got to the cash desk she slagged it off saying it would break down within 5 minites of leaving the store and it will cost £8000 to get it fixed. Solution: buy an over priced extended warranty.

What Phill says.
Have only ever brought one extended warranty (on any electrical good) in 25 years and that was because it was dirt cheap for a microwave. It died just out of extended warranty.
Putting away £15 per month would allow you to 1.) pay for repair or 2.) replace most white goods every couple of years."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Most white goods are extremely reliable, and extended warranties are simply a waste of money. And washing machine are cheaper in real terms than they ever have been.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Probably won't take an extended warranty out it was more for "peace of mind". They are reliable especially the LG and it would be more sensible to call out an independant engineer. Is the WHICH article available to view online it would probably make an interesting read.0
