Does renters insurance cover refrigerators?

I just had a new refrigerator installed in my apartment. It was fairly expensive and should last a long time. Does my renters insurance cover my new refrigerator?

I think buying new appliances is one of the more fun parts of adulthood, so congrats on the new fridge!
Renters insurance
provides a lot of great coverage for your home and belongings, including appliances like refrigerators.
Household gadgets, machines, and appliances are usually covered with the same protections as your other belongings. If they are damaged by named perils found in your renters insurance policy documents, your insurance carrier will cover them. These are some common covered perils that can result in property damage:
  • Fire
  • Theft
  • Vandalism
  • Leaky pipes
Renters insurance can only cover your belongings if they are located in the covered address. If your refrigerator is damaged by a covered peril, you will be able to file a renters insurance claim and be reimbursed.
