This guide explains whether large appliances — refrigerators, ranges, washers, dryers and built-in units — are eligible for the Home Depot Deal of the Day. You’ll get clear rules on common exclusions, how a Deal of the Day discount interacts with manufacturer warranties and professional installation, plus the delivery and return details to confirm before checkout.
Read carefully: this page focuses narrowly on eligibility, warranty and delivery considerations for the Home Depot Deal of the Day; it does NOT list current promo codes or every way to save. For a broader overview of Home Depot savings and daily offers, see our main Deal hub linked below.
Quick Checklist
- Confirm the product page explicitly lists the item as part of the Deal of the Day before adding to cart.
- Check the product type: built-in ranges, pro series appliances, and custom panels are often excluded.
- Verify whether the Deal price is for in-store pickup, online-only, or restricted to specific delivery options.
- Ask if installation, haul-away, or water/gas hookups are included with the Deal price — usually they are not.
- Confirm manufacturer warranty terms and whether the dealer registration or serial number activation is required for coverage.
- Check the return/exchange window and whether large-appliance returns require pickup fees or restocking charges.
- Document model and serial numbers at delivery; inspect for damage before signing acceptance paperwork.
- If you plan to use a promo or Pro Xtra pricing, confirm stacking rules with customer service prior to purchase.
Which Large Appliances Are Usually Excluded?
Home Depot’s Deal of the Day commonly features smaller home and tool items, seasonal goods, or packaged bundles. When large appliances appear, restrictions frequently apply. Expect these common exclusions:
- Built-in and custom-panel models: Appliances that require custom cabinetry or proprietary panels are often excluded because they are special-order items and have separate pricing rules.
- Pro and commercial-grade lines: Contractor-focused brands or pro-series models may be handled via Pro Xtra or volume pricing instead of a Deal of the Day.
- Floor models and displays: Clearance or floor-model discounts are managed separately and may not be advertised under Deal of the Day terms.
- Large bundles with installation: Deals that include installation or haul-away generally show the service as an extra or note that discounts apply only to the product portion.
Before assuming an appliance is included, look for the explicit Deal tag on the product page or ask a store rep. If the product page lacks the Deal of the Day banner or price lock statement, the item is not part of that promotion.
How Discounts Interact with Manufacturer Warranties and Services
Many shoppers worry a Deal of the Day price voids a warranty or prevents service offers. In most cases, a legitimate retailer discount does not void a manufacturer warranty. However, the following interactions are important to confirm:
- Manufacturer warranty remains valid: A discounted sale price generally doesn’t void the factory warranty, but you must register the appliance or retain proof of purchase in case the manufacturer requests it.
- Extended warranties and service plans: Price reductions may affect the way third-party extended warranties are priced or applied. If you buy a service plan at checkout, confirm whether the plan uses the sale price or list price to calculate fees.
- Installation by third parties: If Home Depot or a third-party installer performs hookup, ask whether using dealer installation impacts the manufacturer’s labor coverage — installers authorized by the manufacturer typically won’t void warranty labor coverage.
- Special-order components: For built-in or integrated appliances, manufacturer coverage for cabinetry integration or custom parts may be limited; ask the manufacturer or Home Depot customer service for specifics.
Step-by-step: how to confirm warranty interaction
- Locate the product’s manufacturer warranty page or PDF link on the product listing.
- Save the Home Depot order confirmation and the exact model/serial numbers at delivery.
- Ask the store or customer service whether the installation team is factory-authorized; if not, document who performed the work.
- Register the appliance with the manufacturer immediately after delivery to preserve proof of coverage.
Delivery, Installation and Haul-Away: What to Confirm
Delivery and installation are where Deal-of-the-Day appliance purchases often create surprises. A low product price can be offset by high delivery, installation, or haul-away fees unless you confirm details up front.
Key items to verify before completing a Deal of the Day purchase:
- Delivery window and type: Confirm whether the Deal price is for curbside delivery, threshold delivery, or full in-home placement. Curbside is cheapest; in-home placement costs more.
- Installation scope: Clarify if the listed installation includes connecting water, gas, or electrical work, and whether permits or additional parts are required.
- Haul-away and disposal: Determine the fee for removing the old appliance and whether it requires a separate scheduling step.
- Restocking or return pickup: If you need to return a large appliance bought as a Deal, ask about pickup fees, restocking charges, and return authorization requirements.
Short flow to confirm delivery terms before purchase:
- On the product page, click Delivery & Services and note listed options and fees.
- Call the store or use online chat to confirm the Deal price applies to your chosen delivery type.
- Schedule delivery and request a written service order showing product price, delivery level, installation fees, and haul-away charges.
- Save all confirmation emails and inspect the appliance at delivery before signing off.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming every advertised deal applies to installation: many Deals of the Day discount only the product, not installation or parts.
- Failing to confirm the specific model is included: similar models can have different eligibility — check SKU and model numbers.
- Not documenting warranty registration: skipping manufacturer registration can complicate future claims even though the warranty still applies.
- Believing the Deal price guarantees free returns: large-appliance returns often incur pickup/restocking fees even for sale items.
- Overlooking delivery type: purchasing under the presumption of in-home setup when the Deal covers only curbside delivery leads to surprise charges.
- Expecting promo stacking: Deals of the Day may be excluded from stacking with other coupons, Pro Xtra discounts, or manufacturer rebates unless explicitly allowed.
- Not inspecting on arrival: signing delivery paperwork without checking for damage or missing parts can make returns and claims harder.

Conclusion
Large appliances can appear in a Home Depot Deal of the Day, but many models — especially built-in, pro-grade, or special-order units — are frequently excluded or have separate service pricing. Always confirm the product is explicitly listed in the Deal, get written delivery and installation estimates, register the appliance with the manufacturer, and inspect the unit at delivery.
