Disappointed by Unreasonable Claim Rejection

Very disappointed with the handling of my insurance claim. My washing machine door seal came off during normal use while doing laundry. The rubber seal is NOT torn, damaged, or perished — it simply detached. Yet my claim was rejected on the basis of “wear and tear,” with the conclusion that the machine is “worn out.”

I find this unfair and disappointing. There is a difference between an item deteriorating over time and a component suddenly failing or coming loose during normal use. Dismissing the claim without properly considering this feels unreasonable.

As a paying customer, I expected a fair assessment and clearer explanation rather than a blanket “wear and tear” rejection.

Very frustrating experience. If you wanna insure your home contents don’t do it with discovery it’s a ****. Will also be moving my car insurance cause they will possibly do same thing on the car. What a horrible experience.

The rubber seal is NOT torn, damaged, or perished — it simply detached. If you would attach it again it would work fine but Your so called technician was very unexperienced, didn't know what to do or look for ,Ask him what he saw that made him say the rubber is wear and tear.I doont call people dumb cause im a good person but he is a lazy thinker. he is an amateur and didn't even touch anything he stood there useless and took useless pictures. Discovery Insure is a useless branch of discovery you should have stayed with medical aids. The rest.. Leave them too the best people. Very useless. How can a machine bought less that 3 years ago be worn out... Bunch of Bafana Bafana.
