Keep your home running smoothly
In the modern world, it can be easy to forget how much we rely on electrical appliances around the home. It’s only when these machines don’t function as they should that we fully realise the convenience they provide in our everyday lives. If your fridge was fully stocked with perishable food and suddenly stopped working, or if your washing machine unexpectedly broke down in the middle of a cycle, having to finance these repairs yourself would undoubtedly be a hassle – let alone expensive.
Cover for your electrical appliances
Motor burnout is a more common problem than you might think. It can affect a variety of often-used household appliances, such as washing machines, refrigerators and freezers, as well as external heating, cooling units and pool pumps. Motor burnout insurance, which is an optional extra that can be added to your home and/or contents insurance, covers you for loss or damage to electric motors in your home. This way, you can rest assured knowing you’ll have financial protection for any necessary repairs or replacements.
When in doubt, always ask
Different insurers do have different policies, so it’s always a good idea to check the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) of the individual provider to find out the extent of your motor burnout cover.
