"99-Year Unit Replacement" Warranty Has a Massive Loophole. ​Review Body: ​Do not buy an Amana air conditioner expecting their "Lifetime Compressor" or "99-Year Unit Replacement" limited warranty to protect you if something goes wrong. ​I purchased an Amana 3-ton condensing unit (Model ASX140361CC) installed by an Amana-registered dealer, and it was officially registered under Amana's 99-Year Unit Replacement Warranty (valid through 2112). When the compressor failed in August 2025, I notified the registered installing dealer on my certificate immediately. Instead of filing the factory warranty claim and returning the core to the distributor within Amana's 45-day window, the contractor charged me $3,400.00 out-of-pocket and never returned the core.
​Following that service, the outdoor condenser coil ruptured and the unit is now condemned. When I contacted Daikin/Amana Consumer Affairs with my official 99-year warranty certificate, they flatly refused to replace the unit—stating that because their registered dealer failed to return the compressor core within 45 days in 2025, replacement coverage is forfeited, and Amana takes zero responsibility for the actions or claim failures of the installing dealers listed on their own certificates. ​A 99-year warranty means nothing if the manufacturer washes its hands of the homeowner the moment an authorized dealer fails to submit the paperwork.

The washer worked when it wanted during the 3 month I had it. It would fill up with water & then stop working. Several times trying & praying it would work a few more times. The second to last week of September it was awful & was bad about working. Today would get the clothes wet & stop. Also not all the was settings worked. Couldn’t get hot & when I turned on cold never turned on.

Never will buy Amana or Whirlpool again! Purchased a new Amana washing machine in Feb 2026. In July, started making a terrible loud knocking and banging noise while spinning that could be heard across the street. They sent a tech to repair it, who said it was due to a support bar of some type, and he replaced it. Now in October, it is doing the EXACT same knocking and banging during the spin cycle, so Amana rep said they were sorry and would get it repaired again (but... NEVER mentioned I could be charged), then sent the same tech as before.
He looked at it briefly and watched a video I made of it doing the noise, but now claims (after seeing the loaded washer after completed cycle) it is due to me the customer not loading enough clothes so it's out of balance causing the the banging noise (2 king sheets, 3 pillowcases, 4 towels, 4 hand towels and washclothes is too small a load??) OR (after doing laundry for 50 years), I am not loading it right.
REALLY? He also stated the quality of the products isn't the same anymore, and I guess I must agree! Then he gave me a bill for $120, with him saying since there is supposedly nothing wrong, then I am responsible for the bill! Called Amana and their rep listened to what I had to say, but said that they stand behind their tech's opinion, even though it's the same problem they covered before.
Asked for escalation dept, but ended up back with the same rep who said she just wasn't in a position to do anything herself. Buyer beware: the product just isn't good anymore; just ask the tech, he will tell you. Worse, they bill you for doing nothing at all. They don't honor their warranty; basically worthless! Time to file an official complaint with the AG office in Ohio. Maybe if everyone does, then these manufacturers will start honoring their warranties, or better, build better appliances again.

DO NOT USE Amana. They screw you around, offer warranty they do not honor. Set appointments, tell you they have a part but no longer carry it and they don't call you back. We have been waiting a month and a half, lost a tenant, reached out to them many times. They offer money to replace the unit. DON"T trust that either. They are horrible.

New Amana Washer in August of 2025. Bought the optional D&G insurance as I was tired of fixing the washers. By November, washer was leaking water underneath. Called service tech and he saw the leak and claimed it was from "overfilling the washer". Ran an empty test load through saw no leak, told me to install the drain pipe higher. I redid the drain pipe to the exact specs called for, washer still leaked. Called service again, verified water leaking around all sides of the tub. He claimed it was not level or out of balance loads. Ran another empty load through, I took pictures of the leaks, he claimed it was "something we were washing" even though it leaked with nothing (empty load).
Tried again, now we were keeping towels all around it when we washed, called service again, they sent out a troubleshooter, I pointed out the leaks and had marked the tub where it was leaking (at the joint between the splash shield and the tub), he claimed that Amana would not fix that. My wife asked for a new washer that didn't leak. He laughed. He said get a tray to put under it. And left. We canceled the insurance after that, since they refused to fix it. I took the washer apart and took the splash shield off. It was a poor fit as it was, so I siliconed the entire rim around the tub and reinstalled the splash shield. It held very nicely for many months, but now I spotted a tiny leak in another spot, so I just siliconed that one up. I had to move the washer to the garage so any future leakage will not damage the floors. Bottom Line for me, No Amana products ever again, and no insurance on the products either. What a colossal waste of time and money.

The new computerized washers are not worth the money. Bought a new washer less than 3 years ago and computer panel has already gone out.

The control board went out, draining issues. There was a recall, so warranty came and replaced that. Then the motor went out. The repair guy said it was because of socks that were under the washer.

The most disappointing purchase I have ever made! Bought a brand new Amana washer and dryer less than 2 years ago and the washer is now useless! From reading in forums and google reviews the control board malfunction is a known issue and they continue to sell them. I live alone and wash about a load a week so it’s not from use! The problem was the drain for spin cycle just continuously drains and won’t stop to advance to spin. This is happening even when you stop it AND the lid is open so you have to unplug it to get it to stop!
Amana’s solution was to buy a service contract for 30$ a month so that my broke down washer can be repaired. Who knows how many times I would be waiting on repair to this junk??!! I can’t complain about the dryer, works as it should so far! I will def avoid any Amana appliances going forward and will and have intent to deter the sale of this brand to everyone! I have a brand new Maytag already and the shiny like new Amana is at the dump.

I am having a very bad experience with an Amana stove I purchased last year. The glass on the front keeps sliding off. I’ve had someone come fix it 3 times. I’ve asked to give me a new stove but they insisted on fixing the glass. It keeps falling off. I have a stove with duck tape on it. I can’t bake anything. The glass slides off the door. No one wants to help me with this. When I call the company all they say is I’m over with the warranty. But I tried to get it serviced, no one helps me. It’s disgusting, stressful. Do not purchase this brand. It’s cheap and the service is horrible

I purchased an Amana-brand AC unit with a heat pump last May. The unit broke down after just one week, and I had my AC company come out to repair it. It ran reasonably well through the summer, but when we turned on the heat in October, it did not work. The AC company attempted several fixes, but we went the entire winter without heat. Eventually, they pushed for a technician from Standard Supply (the distributor) to inspect the unit. He claimed the issue was related to improper grounding at our house. We had the grounding fixed, but the problem persisted.
At this point, the system is completely out of service—we have neither heating nor cooling. I contacted Amana, but they directed me to Standard Supply. When I contacted Standard Supply, they referred me back to the AC company. I was told the Standard Supply agreed to replace replaced if their technician confirmed the unit was faulty. Initially, he agreed to replace it, but he later changed his position and now claims there is no issue with the unit—even though he never returned to re-evaluate it after the grounding was corrected. We paid a significant amount for this system, yet it only work for about three months. No one is taking responsibility, and both Amana and Standard Supply have been extremely unhelpful in resolving the issue. I strongly recommend avoiding both companies.

We purchased an Amana Washer NTW4519JW2 & Dryer from Lowe's July 2024 for a seasonal home. The appliances are seldomly used and certainly NOT abused. Over the New Year holiday, the washer began acting up, stuck on the proverbial drain cycle. According to the internet, this is a well-known defect. A call to Amana was fruitless as they were closed over the holidays, but immediately afterward, we were directed to "customer service" to purchase an extended warranty for $32/month, with a 30-day FREE lookback option. Amana scheduled our repair with a local "Amana Certified" technician. Two weeks later and a special trip to meet the technician resulted in his "no show" after waiting all day.
The Technician did not answer or return a single call. We cancelled the plan with Domestic General, which was a huge hassle as they suddenly had NONE of our information. The Washer was used less than a dozen times. This is unacceptable! Whirlpool/Amana know they are peddling JUNK to unsuspecting consumers and has no interest in performing any service or repairing/replacing their inferior products. There is no evidence of a recall or any incentive to remedy duping consumers. The Consumer Protection Agency is not tracking the situation either. What a joke. DO BETTER WHIRLPOOL/AMANA!

I purchased Model #: NED4655EW and Model #: NTW4519JW 3/18/2026 at Lowe's. Both the new washer and the new dryer were defective and 2 hours after delivery, I called Lowe's to schedule pick up and delivery of another Amana w/d set. This was scheduled for Saturday 3/28. The dryer made a loud metal noise, hitting the drum so a screw or part is loose and the washer agitated turns the wrong way; consequently, the clothes are not being clean.
I understand mistakes being made putting machinery together; however, I received a w/d that may have been put to the side to go back to Amana and instead ended up in my condo. I had not washed clothes in 2 weeks and I was so looking forward to washing clothes and having clean clothes. I need to call Lowe's tomorrow and have a new order put in as I've decided to upgrade the w/d to the very next level above the standard level as I don't think I'm up to taking a chance on the previous models I purchased.

We purchased an Amana electric stove model ACR4503SFW in December 2025. Because we away from our home January 1-January 28 and then seldom used the oven. On February 22, we baked a pizza at 400 Degrees for 22 minutes. Yes, the pizza was done, but we noticed that the left top front surface (not the coil) and the left side of the oven were so hot that you could not leave a finger on the surface. Of course, this seemed to be a safety issue.
The technician said this was not a problem and Maytag was called and said there was nothing wrong. The distributor says we have to go through Maytag (which from previous reviews sounds useless) and the distributor is not offering to exchange for something else in their showroom. When I touch my meat thermometer tip to the surface (not the coil), it quickly zooms up to 140+ degrees. Nobody seems to acknowledge this is a hazard. We are frustrated.

A base line dishwasher without all of the fancy racks and features that cleans better than any brand we have experienced the disaster of ownership over the past 25 years! I had never owned an Amana product, but due to a Bosch, a Kitchenaid, and Whirlpool all failing within 13 years and providing mediocre cleaning abilities, I wanted to try a different brand with less in it to go wrong.
The Amana was a clearance item based upon that model being discontinued, however, they do continue to offer a base model. It cleans everything very well so I highly recommend this brand. Apparently the parent company, Whirlpool, has not had time to ruin this stellar brand.

I normally do not write reviews as everyone's experiences are unique in their situation, however we purchased a Amana washer machine 5/2024.. Purposely no bells and whistles, eliminating further mechanical issues... 18 months into this new washer, the motor acted up, when the washer wasn't in use it would sound like it needed to drain. My husband did the youtube fix to no avail... I called Amana to see what options were seeing machine didn't even reach its 2 year anniversary... Need to Pay 300.00 plus dollars, and plus service visit, and one time fix, I could go on a plan, 32 dollars a month for 12 mos. Basically you are betting that the washer is going to go on the fritz again... Crazy! My advice to whoever is looking to buy a Amana, buy a Speed Queen. Yes, expensive, however I believe wouldn't be experiencing this problem with cheap and useless washers....
