Benefits of Geek Squad Protection for your refrigerator or freezer

Your product. Your peace of mind. Our promise.

Our plan enhances the manufacturer’s warranty and covers you when your warranty ends. Whether it's an in-home repair or replacement for a covered issue, we'll take care of it — so you don’t have to. In some cases, we may have to replace your product.*

No out-of-pocket costs for parts or labor

We take care of 100% of the costs of parts and labor for covered repairs and failures, with no hidden fees. In some cases, we may have to replace your product.*

We'll cover up to $300 in spoiled food and medication (per event)

If your product has a mechanical breakdown, we'll cover spoilage up to $300 per event. Spoilage due to power outage, not impacting functionality, is not covered.

If there's a hardware failure, we'll repair or replace your product*

This could be a problem with an internal part, how the refrigerator or freezer was manufactured or normal wear and tear. It could also be caused by dust, internal heat or humidity. Accidental damage is not included.

If your refrigerator or freezer won't turn on because of a power surge, count on us to make it right

You're covered if there's a power surge or fluctuation that damages your product. This includes a surge caused by a lightning strike. In some cases, we may have to replace your product.*

We'll reinstall your product

After we repair your refrigerator or freezer, we'll reinstall it if we originally installed it.

How does Geek Squad Protection work with your manufacturer warranty?

During the original manufacturer's warranty period, most repairs will be handled by the manufacturer. Keep in mind that Best Buy Protection often covers important repairs that your manufacturer warranty doesn't, like failure due to a power surge, even during the manufacturer’s warranty period.

If something goes wrong after the original manufacturer warranty ends, Best Buy Protection has your back and will take care of any covered repairs.
