Have you ever tried to use your "warranty"? It's a "lifetime warranty", the lifetime being the core components of the washing machine. When it dies, that's it's lifetime.

There is little enforcement of warranties from the FTC. They cannot afford to do investigations, because they are civil litigation.

I have not used Costco warranty before, but I have not seen a reason to doubt Costco’s services.

Note it's Costco's warranty - they take the product back and ship it to the manufacturer, and just deduct the amount from the next payment to them.

If the manufacturer doesn't like it, they get dropped by Costco like a hot potato.
