Our fridge died in May 2020. Becks charged $60, for visit, wanted $700 to repair, with no guarantee it would work. Took 3 months to get a fridge. Lowe’s strongly suggested extending warranty, for $140. For 3 years, which we never do, but with appliances at a gamble bought the plan..3 days after regular warranty fridge dies. Factory repair guy said because if appliance shortages, during pandemic plus they found many issues with new appliances, when they were delivered.

For my $140 the gave me a $405 check for food, new board, and part for ice, which would have run $475. Since the initial cost of fridge was almost $2,000, that $140 was a bargain. If they come out again, I get a new fridge, so win win.
