Retailers and manufactureres work hard to sell us expensive warranties for white goods such as fridges, freezers, washing machine, dishwashers.  They try to sell the contracts when we buy the equipment and again when the regular warranty ends.   They are expensive and may not pay out when you have trouble.  Remember the average washing machine will last seven years and two months and gas cookers 15 years.  Even tumble dryers make it to 13 years.  Warranties could cost you hundreds of pounds.  Beware of boiler cover, mobile cover and avoid the pipe insurance sold by water companies that costs us £100 million a year when out household insurance may already cover the pipes between the  water meter and your home.
