Don't Let Your Appliance Turn into a Dramatic Houseguest: How to Add a Home Depot Protection Plan
Let's face it, appliances can be a bit like dramatic houseguests. They work flawlessly for a while, then decide to throw a tantrum right when you need them most. Your fridge stops cooling, your dishwasher starts singing opera instead of cleaning dishes, and suddenly your kitchen looks like a scene from a post-apocalyptic sitcom.
Fear not, weary homeowner! There's a way to avoid the appliance-induced drama: the Home Depot Protection Plan. Think of it as a bodyguard for your beloved gadgets, ready to swoop in and save the day (or at least your dinner) if things go south.

But Wait, There's More! (How to Actually Get the Plan)
Now, onto the nitty-gritty. Adding a Home Depot Protection Plan is easier than assembling those fancy shelves that always seem to come with about 500 leftover screws. Here are the two main ways to do it:
-
At the Time of Purchase: This is the easiest option, kind of like befriending your new houseguest before they move in and wreak havoc. Just mention to the friendly cashier (or the self-checkout kiosk, if you're feeling social that day) that you'd like to add the protection plan to your appliance purchase.
-
Within 90 Days of Purchase: Did you forget about the protection plan in the excitement of your new gadget? No worries! You have a 90-day grace period from the original purchase date to add the plan. This is important, because after 90 days, it's like trying to befriend your houseguest after they've already painted your living room purple. Not impossible, but definitely more challenging.
Here's How to Add the Plan Online (Because Adulting is Hard)
For those who prefer to avoid human interaction (no judgement!), you can also add the Home Depot Protection Plan online. Just follow these simple steps:

- Follow the prompts and voila! You've just protected your appliance from its own inner drama queen.
