I have not read the policy, but I doubt that is covered. Home
warranties will cover thing that break. Nothing is broken, just don't
plug in what overloads the circuit.

What if you had the same warranty on your clothes. Then you gained 50
pounds and your pants no longer fit. Not their problem. Nor is a
freezer and hair dryer on the same circuit, IMO.

Yes, it is overload and easily fixed. Unplug one of the appliances.
