Where to buy a repair insurance/warranty for my TV - Sony will not sell me one

Long story short - I got a warranty replacement TV for my last one that broke down 4 years and 11 months into the warranty (second time in 10 years!) and have a brand new TV as a replacement. This is great apart from the 90 day warranty that is only being supplied with it.

 

I asked Sony if they could sell me a warranty for this brand new TV but they declined, only to read the T&Cs to me, chapter and verse. I get all that, so don't need any advice on the terms.

 

I am not after a freebie, I want to purchase a warranty from somewhere as Sony will not sell me one.


Anybody ever had a similar situation? Having real trouble finding a company that can do a repair warranty for me...

 

The TV is a 65A90J OLED.

Hi @adaharri0   I have no idea if they will sell you breakdown insurance, but it is worth a try.

Thanks for your reply @LightFoot, sadly their level of cover is only up to £500 per claim, I don't think that is going to be high enough sadly 😥

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately D&G will not cover the TV as it comes up as £3K on their database, so they will not touch it, no matter how much I protested. Hopeless.

 

Still looking to buy a repair/breakdown cover and it is unreal how difficult this is!

Only brings up a single supplier and that is Domestic & General, who will not cover the value.

 

Thanks for trying though
