Washer & Dryer Home Warranty Coverage That Helps You Stay On Track

When your washer and dryer are working like they should, laundry is just part of the weekly routine. But when a washer won’t drain, stops mid-cycle, leaks, or a dryer won’t heat, won’t start, or keeps shutting off, the repair can turn into an unexpected bill fast. HomeMembership’s Washer & Dryer Home Warranty Coverage is built to help protect the most common laundry-appliance components that fail from normal wear and tear, with clear line-item limits for parts and labor at $100 per hour listed right on the coverage chart.

Washing machine repairs typically run $180 to $250, with many homeowners paying an average of about $220 per repair, depending on the issue and the machine type.

Dryer repairs commonly cost $100 to $430, and the average dryer repair lands around $180, which is why small failures can still turn into an unexpected bill.

Our coverage is designed for everyday breakdowns (not accidents, storms, misuse, or neglect). When a covered part fails, you can use your own licensed service provider, submit your claim documentation, and HomeMembership reimburses covered parts and labor up to the limits in the chart, minus your $25 deductible per covered claim. Coverage starts instantly with no waiting period, with half limits during the first 30 days.

What’s Usually Not Covered in Our Washer & Dryer Home Warranty

To set clear expectations and help avoid surprises, here are common examples of what typically falls outside standard coverage:

• Pre-existing conditions: Problems that existed before your coverage started

• Improper installation or non-standard modifications: Issues caused by incorrect setup, retrofits, or unapproved changes

• Lack of routine maintenance or neglect: Problems caused by avoidable buildup, damage, or misuse

• Cosmetic damage: Dents, scratches, knobs, trim, and other appearance-only issues

• Non-covered causes: Accidents, storms, flooding, fire, vandalism, and other external events are generally handled by homeowners' insurance, not a warranty

Whenever you’re unsure, the safest move is to check the Coverage Chart first — it shows the exact parts, labor hours, and totals for washers and dryers.
