Does a home warranty cover oven and range?
Whether a oven and range claim pays out depends on the plan tier, the per-item dollar cap, and the contract's exclusions list. Pre-existing problems and code-upgrade costs are almost always excluded. Below is what these plans typically include, what they typically exclude, and the contract language to read before you assume a repair is covered.
