Amana Appliances Reviews

ACF3325AB - Self cleaning mode turned on by itself and melted the entire inside of the door. Fumes were horrible. Had to air out my house in freezing temperatures with my 93 year old mother and 3 year old grandson in the house. They told us to disconnect everything and they will send a repairman out in 5 DAYS! Prior to this incident, the oven was turning off in the middle of cooking. This product should be recalled!

Amana Front Loading Washing machine Model NFW7200TW suddenly stopped filling. Received an error code of "tE" indicating an issue with the Thermistor. Began checking wiring and discovered several severed wires at the control panel. Contacted Amana Customer Service and was advised that they would send someone out but because the FL was no longer under warranty, I would be responsible for costs. I advised Amana rep that I was more concerned with a potential fire hazard and that was putting them on notice of the issue. The Rep basically said that they had no reports like this and that there were no recalls and nothing they would do. So anyone with this washing machine, beware!

This is the worst washing machine I have ever owned. We bought it in May of 2014 and to my dismay found that it did not fill on the rinse cycle. My clothes always had soap residue left on them. I read the manuals carefully and it did indicate that when manually adding softener, to let the rinse tub fill. It never did. We called the repairman who re-calibrated it, so supposedly it would work properly. He no sooner left when the red lock lid button started blinking. It was off-cycle again. It still does not fill. I have to go to another rinse drain cycle to rinse my clothes. My advice to anyone...DO NOT BUY AN AMANA WASHER, THEY ARE JUNK!!!

I am a landlord with occasional need for new appliances. I went to Menards in Massilon OH in January of 2013 and bought an Amana refrigerator for about $600.00. I had no problems until this January, 24 months after purchasing. Bad compressor. Replacement cost is $445.00. Menards said I should have bought an extended warranty, they were Zero help. Amana only guarantees their product for 12 months. I found most mfrs also have reduced their warranties to 12 months, however I have several Frigidaire refrigerators that have lasted many years. The Frigidaire in my home is 17 years old with no problems. I will not buy from Menards ever again nor will I buy anything Amana. Go Frigidaire.

I bought an Amana range & the burners are constantly heating up then cooling down, so it either takes forever for something to cook or it burns it. I'll never buy another Amana product.

My refrigerator was just 11 months old when it started falling apart. All the plastic pieces, shelves, meat bin, crisper drawer, cheese drawer, door shelves, etc., began cracking, splitting and falling. I complained to Amanda and was told all these pieces are cosmetic, and didn't affect the operation of the refrigerator. After several complaints and letters, I was sent, as a 1 time courtesy, one shelf, and one drawer which also promptly broke. Tonight the door bin fell off taking another bin with it. A jar of pickles landed on my toe, and a bottle of hot sauce broke, and a cherry soda exploded. I would say that affects the function of the product. I also have a Whirlpool (same company) microwave and the plastic door cracked and split all over. Again, I was told it was just cosmetic. Never have I had such poor quality in a product that cost so much!

We bought the Amana washer and dryer 8 months ago. We were very pleased at first as to how silent the washer was. Then we started to notice that the washer was taking longer than usual to wash a regular load of clothes. I didn’t think anything of it until it started making the worst noise I have ever heard, it sounded like the drum was going to come out of the whole shell. I called ABC Warehouse where we bought the set and they told us that it was under manufacturer's warranty and to call the warranty service. I called and they set us an appointment for the service repair center, which is Lewis Appliance in my area, which these people are worthless. He came in and lay on the floor and did some things to it with a machine and told me that they had to order the part and it should only be a week or two but I could use it in the meantime.

I purchased an Amana refrigerator about 2 1/2 years ago. Right after the 1 year warranty ran out, I started having problems. A strong nasty burning chemical smell was coming from the appliance and making me and everything in the house stink. Plus, the smell was making me sick, irritating my nose and eyes. The repairman replaced the relay on the compressor and told me that would take care of the problem. Well, 1 year later, we are experiencing the very same problem. The smell is so bad, I am going to have to unplug the appliance and store all the food at a friend's until the repairman can get here next week. It is getting into my hair and clothes, so that I smell it all day when I am at work. I will never purchase an Amana appliance again.

Purchase the dryer two years ago. It won't spin. I called Amana and I needed to purchase an extended warranty for $300 to have the dryer fixed. Or I'm on my own with getting the dryer repaired. I will never purchase another Amana product.

I bought a new Amana washer in Feb 2014 at ABC warehouse. I had call the service tech out to my house 3 times. The last time I call bbb. ABC replace it with another Amana - I receive that one in 10/14. On 12/7/14 the machine stop washing.

Not even 2 months ago, I bought an Amana Washer and Dryer at Lowe’s Sudbury Ontario. Five days ago the washer pump is running constantly and does not complete the cycle. I called customer service on Thursday December 4th 2014 and was told that the technician will come on Monday Dec 8th between 8am and 4pm. Since they did not give me a specific time, I have had to take a vacation day from my work. Monday morning I had a message on my voice mail that they had overbooked appointments for repair and they could not make it on Monday. I called customer service again and ask why suddenly the repair technicians were overbooked when I made an appointment through Amana 4 days prior. I was told they were sorry, but they could not do anything about it. The only thing they could do was to book another appointment for Thursday December11th, between 8 am and 4 pm. This means taking another vacation day to be at home, waiting and hoping they will not cancel again.

I had my washer for barely over 2 years before it started to unbalance. Now less than 2.5 yes after purchase I have to replace it. According to the Amana repair representative for my area I needed a new balance ring and new suspension. He said the balance ring would cost over 200 dollars, but my research show the average cost being 40 dollars. However, with the price of labor the total repairs would be a minimum of 170 dollars on a machine that only cost 300. I realize this was a bargain appliance but we never overloaded it and it should have lasted longer than 2.5 years. The short life expectancy of modern appliances is ludicrous. I recommend avoiding this brand or buying the extended warranty. I just hope the dryer lasts.

I have a Whirlpool GS395LEHS range/oven that is 14 years old. It was only used regularly for about 5 of those years, then as an extra oven for holidays. A code appeared recently that meant the membrane is bad. Can't use any oven function now. Tried to get a replacement, but Whirlpool doesn't make them anymore. So my range is now junk. Looked online at Amana ranges and found many negative reports about them. Looked a little more and discovered that Amana and Whirlpool are one in the same. I will not purchase either of them as a replacement.

I purchased a washer March 2013 and November 2014 it won't even start. The plug and socket was checked and they are working. So now close to Christmas I have to purchase a new washer. This time it will definitely not be an Amana brand. I wish I had read the reviews from others before making this purchase.

About a year ago, I purchased an Amana oven, microwave, and dishwasher. Granted, all three were on the economy end of the model spectrum. I have issues with all three. The oven door on after only 4 months started to bind opening and closing. Also, the plastic trim around the oven handle also is cracked and continues to get worse. I called Amana thinking I could get it repaired within the 1 yr. warranty. I was told that the oven door repair is not covered because it does not affect the "functionality" of the appliance. Really? I think the door has quite a bit to do with the functionality of an oven. Regarding the microwave, the door, also cracking off the plastic trim around the window part of the door. Thirdly, the dishwasher upper rack keeps falling off the track because end bracket on the left side often comes unsnapped. These design (or should I say misdesigned) elements of Amana products should not be occurring. Especially after only a few months of use.

Bought all new, Amana stainless steel appliances oven is 100 degrees less than what you set it on and the dishwasher will not even wash the dishwashing soap off the dishes. I have tried powered, liquid, tablet, it leaves all brands and types all over the dishes. I have had these appliances for 3 months now and I hate them. Don't waste your money! P.s don't even get me started on the cook top.

I have an Amana glass top range and an Amana microwave.. Both appliances the doors have fallen apart in the first two years that I've owned them. The microwave was manufactured August of 2012. Just after the one year warranty expired the overhead light burned out. After that we've replaced it 4 times this year. The door is literally cracking apart. The range door glass has been falling out and will hit you in the legs if you close it wrong. I am sure that Amana is aware of the problems. They will not stand behind their product.

We had our Amana fridge freezer fitted in January 2009. After 6 years and 6 months this appliance has broken down and is unrepairable. We paid £3,800.00 for the fridge, and would have expected at least 10 years service from it, as we have had 10/12 years service from fridges that we have paid a fraction of this cost for. We have contacted Whirlpool, who manufactured the fridge, and have had a very unsatisfactory response so far. We are still fighting our case, and we are prepared to take this all the way, to make sure that no-one else buys an Amana product. If we had been advised that the expected lifespan of this appliance was so short and would be unrepairable, we would never have bought it.

A year and a half ago we purchased a brand new dryer (Amana tandem 7300 dryer) from Home Depot. As we were renovating our home, we continued to use our old appliances until our new laundry room was completed. The new washer and dryer stayed in a spare room, in its original packaging. This past weekend (July 5,2014), we hooked up our brand new, high eff. washer and dryer, only to find the dryer didn't work properly. It would go on for a few seconds, was really noisy and then stop, and repeat again.

Purchased dehumidifier from this company. Overheated a lot, couldn't use it indoors. It was so hot that it was heating up the entire house as seems, in the middle of the summer. Because I needed the product at the time, used it short period of time and stored away for the winter. Never used it again for past 5 years. I know it's been long time but recently found out about mess recalls and danger of fire hazards. Called company for refund, which I thought it is fair since I rarely used it and costed me more than $250. The company transferred me to the "special team" handles dehumidifier issues.

I bought a washer/dryer set. I started to wash a small load of cloths and the drum was banging around. Ok... so I thought the clothes were off center and NOPE they were not! The drum has a lot of play and IS THE WORSE WASHER EVER!!!

My Amana ABBB2222FEW refrigerator is five and a half years old. Great refrigerator, till this weekend when the compressor quit - it will cost over $700.00 to repair and I was informed that the repairman couldn't guarantee the board would not conk out so I opt out of fixing it. No help from the company, too bad, so sorry.

I bought a new town home which comes with an Amana refrigerator. This is a very bad experience. The fridge never ever works properly on any settings. The freezer is always freezing or producing snow ice that blocks the flow of ice and the ice keep on coming out of the place where it's supposed without stopping. Water leaks all night from the water flow place... the worst appliance I have ever had.

My dryer of 7 years broke down so I purchased another from a different store different brand (new). The purchased was made the end of October. This dryer was terrible at drying my clothes. It took forever for one load to dry. Finally it started taking more time. Finally it went out. It had a warranty but couldn't get the company the warranty was with to fix it so the furniture store I made the purchase with sent me a new one and this new dryer isn't any good either. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRAND TO ANYONE AT ALL... PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME. PURCHASE A DIFFERENT BRAND..

I love my old Amana side by side, bought in 11/2001. But what I can't find in the new ones is the milk keeper with the door. That is the best part of the refrigerator. If I can't find that and after reading these reviews I will find a different brand.

We purchased an Amana washing machine. I noticed that there was a bad odor in my utility room that was so strong it even came out in the other parts of the house at times. We had no idea where the odor was coming from. We check the septic system thinking maybe that may be where it was coming from and even had the septic pumped out. Still the odor kept coming and we could not figure out where the odor was coming from. Then we noticed that the water was not draining all the way out of the washing machine. It just sits in there because it does not spin out all of the water. I tried to get repairs done on the machine but they would not do anything because they said my warranty had run out. I am very unhappy with this product.

So the motor on the dishwasher went twice now. It is now 3 years old. Had them come 4 times. The refrigerator is garbage. I have an extended warranty and they don't cover the shelving and shelves. Every shelf is cracked and had to be replaced at a cost of almost $60 per shelf plus shipping and tax. The liner of the refrigerator is cracked also. I called Whirlpool which is the owner of Amana and they don't care one bit. I think everyone should start making a huge issue of their worthless products. I will never, ever buy another Whirlpool or Amana product.

I purchased a rental house that had a 16-year-old refrigerator. My brother was upgrading his appliances to stainless steel, so he offered me his 8-year-old Amana refrigerator. I thought it would be a good idea to reduce the risk of having to replace an old unit. I'm now on my third major repair in less than two years. I'm very disappointed with the quality of the Amana appliance.

Three of my Amana appliances are not working. The Amana washer is 4.5 years old, the Amana oven and dishwasher are 6 years old. I understand that appliances break down but three so soon and at the same time????? Shame on Amana. Do not buy Amana products! I just paid $170 for a diagnostic evaluation to tell me that the repairs will cost me over $750. The issues I have with all three are common with other customer issues, yet the company does not issue recalls. I bought the stackable washer & dryer. If I end up needing a new washer, I don't know if I will be able to get one that will properly fit under the Amana dryer. I will never ever buy an Amana product again. Their products are defective and they do not care about customer service.

I purchased 5 appliances from Amana....washer/Dryer dishwasher microwave and stove... washer dies, bought it in Aug 2012...broke down Sept 2013...needs new cycle control unit 400+ dollars...If I had known how cheap Amana was I would never have bought anything from this rip off company...Do not buy even a blender from these clowns..Now my stove is acting up and microwave is falling apart...I spent over 4500.00 and all I got was garbage....I'M beyond pissed. Please, I will yell it from the rooftop...~~~~~~~~~~~~Do not buy Amana!!~~~~~~~~~~~~ Say no to Amana products!

In 2002 bought Amana Distinctions top load washer and electric dryer. They worked great for 11 years with zero problems. The dryer still works. The washer died because when I started hearing a strange noise a couple of weeks ago, I didn't do anything about it and kept using the machine. Then during a load it started smoking. Turned out a bearing or gear or something went bad and the belt got out of alignment and running like this killed the transmission. I really wish I had called the repair person when I first heard the noise because the repair is too expensive to justify. I have really loved the no frills controls, stainless steel wash tub, and extra-large capacity. So disappointed. :(

We purchased an Amana washer on 6/22/13 and on 9/28/13 it quit working. We called the store where we purchased it and they told us that if we hadn't sent in the warranty, Amana would not stand behind it. This is our third washer in 5 years. Don't they make washers that last at least 5 years?

I called in to purchase 2 grease filters and a charcoal filter with a light bulb for my confection oven and they no longer support their products. I have model ACo1180AB which is ten years old this year. When they discontinue their items after 12 months they no longer have to support the items they have sold in the past. As a consumer this is unacceptable. Do not use your hard earned money to support this type of company. This is the same as if you purchased a brand new car and your front head lights are no longer working and you call in to request parts for your car so you can drive it on the road but find they no longer have those headlights so you can not use it any longer. The unit works but you can not use it because they do not support their product because they discontinued the manufacture of those items..

We purchased an Amana ref from our local appliance store in the Renton Highlands, a model A9RXNGFYW. In 2011, during its warranty, we called store about the overheating problem. Told that needs to be addressed to the Amana people. Called them. They say this is normal operations. Now I am talking about heat that burns when you touch anyplace around the freezer seal & side of fridge. Just want to hear if anyone else has this problem. Thank you.

I purchased a Amana machine that is terribly noisy in fact noisier than my very old machine!! After paying over $500.00 my family and friends have been here while my machine is running and said they would never purchase one! This machine was bought 7/17/2013.

The dryer stopped working right after the warranty. Replaced the motor. Still doesn't work. Replaced the fuse and again it still will not work. The only thing that I have not replaced on this pile of crap is the buzzer and that still works and it's the only thing that does.

We got a good price on an Amana side by side with ice maker and water dispenser from Home Depot. But the ice dispenser door failed--a cheap plastic assembly--and fixing it would cost 1/4 the cost of the refrigerator. Then the plastic frames on the glass shelves started falling apart--they are constructed so that stress cracks are inevitable. They cost about 1/8 the cost of the refrigerator each. Then the refrigerator itself started to deteriorate on the inside--it is very flimsy. Total piece of crap. I would not recommend anything Amana to anyone, or Maytag, or any of their other brand names.

We bought an Amana atb2136arw refrigerator in 2006. This is a very basic style top freezer model. In 2011, we ran into the first problem with the food section not maintaining a good temperature. The compressor fan had to be replaced. That repair cost $175.00.

I had no idea that the Amana side-by-side 25 cf fridge I bought in 1993 would last this long. It's now 20 yrs old and still going strong. The only problems I had were with the ice maker, which I had repaired a couple of times years ago. But when I moved the fridge to do floor work and replaced it, I opted not to connect the ice maker back up. All ice makers break down a lot, it seems. So I use the ice bin for food storage, and I use old fashioned ice trays with a specially-shaped bucket for ice. The temp control on my fridge seems to be just fine, after all these years. I do vacuum the front grill at the bottom occasionally and underneath to the extent I can. But I'm looking for a new fridge because I think this one will probably go soon, and I don't want to have to buy a new one in an emergency situation. I don't know if Amanas are still made the same way, or if the quality has gone down, or even if I just lucked out with my fridge. But the layout of the fridge is awesome, the special compartment to keep milk extra cool, the freezer space, the quietness (w/o the ice maker it's been pretty quiet, but the ice maker was pretty loud). If I could find an exact replica of the one I have, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Amana front load washer - This machine is 4 years old and has broken down three times due to code ND for not draining. I called tech, and $250 later and new drain pump, it worked for about 6 months. Interface board went out and I paid $200 for the part, which I put in myself. It worked okay for 1 year. Another drain pump is out and I paid $125 for the part. Eight months later, another interface board went out. It is time to junk this new washer and buy another brand. I could have paid for another machine for what it cost me to keep it running. These machines are junk.

I bought this washer so I could do large quilts. But I was told now that this new Amana HE large capacity washer without center agitator has a water limit of around 17 gallons so if you want to wash a large load or quilt, think again. I'm attaching a hose because I have a laundry tub and adding water. If you don't have a tub, you may want to find a machine that has something called large load or something. I set it on an extra rinse because you can't even see the water so how clean is that? I'm talking about a half load. If you do small loads, you are still using more electricity and water, more work, more time, so we're not saving anything, are we?

Purchased an Amana washer nine years ago, and the washer is only used once a week. And you would think it would last longer. We're talking about two loads a week. It will cost $300 to repair. What has happened to the craftsmanship of some of our appliances? And I have noted that if I had a family, it would have malfunctioned sooner, but if it's only me, it would take longer. All of the complaints that I discovered so far are mostly about the seal and the leaking water from the bottom. So I spent $75 to have a repairman tell me it would cost $300.

I inherited an Amana fridge from a deceased aunt. It worked great for a year. The fridge was a couple years old. She had an extended warranty when fridge went warm and would not cool. Repair came and replaced jazz board and didn't look at anything else. It was unplugged for a few days and worked good for a couple weeks and voila, fridge went warm and we lost all the food. Repair came in 2 weeks and replaced a condenser and nothing else. Fridge was unplugged and worked fine. Three weeks later, it's warm again. Repair screwed up and canceled my appointment and we lost more food. Repair came a week later, replaced compressor and a copper line, added freon and checked for leaks. It worked for three more weeks and then it went warm again. Repair came back 2 weeks later and could not find anything wrong except it lost its charge.

I had lots of problems with the Amana slide in range, with Model #ACSE350AS, from the get go. Where to start? Here’s a list of the problems: the control panel got really hot on high heat or broil causing the plastic layer over the buttons to warp; the burner labels (front right, back left, etc) chipped off; you need to press buttons that poked through the plastic; uneven heating and the temperature was never accurate; it took awhile to preheat; the heating elements needed to be replaced; and finally, the panel just gave out, caught fire, and we had to call the fire department! We will not buy Amana again!

If you must buy an Amana product, get an extended warranty and keep extending it for as long as you can. Unlike the folks who make these Amana products, the Assurant Solutions service protection people are a standup group. It's clear from just a little research that this product (Amana ACS3350AS) had design and manufacturing flaws from the start, including oven and broiler igniters that don't last more than a couple of years. Unsafe overheating of exterior oven surfaces. A poorly placed computer control unit that overheats with the rest of the oven. Since they stopped making the computer, less than six years after we purchased the thing, it's dead. Amana argues that the California state obligation that parts be made for seven years does not apply in this case. They consider it seven years from the date of manufacture and not purchase or it seems like they are saying we didn't buy it when we bought it.

My less than 2-year-old, Amana, built-in microwave, model amc2206bas has cracking and peeling ceiling paint. I called customer service and was told there is nothing they can do as it is outside the 1-year service. I am very angry that this defective product can be dumped on consumers. I intend to contact my State Attorney General to see if anything can be done.

Right after the manufacturer’s warranty of exactly 2 years expired, our Amana Refrigerator broke before the end of the following year. Oh, did I mention we bought it brand new from the showroom floor at Home Depot in Hilo, Hawaii? Now it runs all the time on the freezer side and the refrigerator side does not get cold at all. Ice forms in the rectangle "box" that is located inside the refrigerator section and no cold air from the “run always” freezer-side comes into the refrigerator. That poor design is how it is "supposed" to keep your refrigerated food cold. Poor design. What isn't, these days?

We have an Amana refrigerator model ARB2557CSR. We have had it for 8 years. We have had a few repairs over the years, but last night took the wind out of all of us that witnessed the door fall off the hinge and break the contents that were on the door. If anyone's foot would have been in the area, it would had sliced it off or crushed terribly. The door was opened and for unknown reason, dropped off onto our slate floor. If our grandson would have been near, he could have been crushed. I checked the hinges and sprockets, and it still didn't make sense.

I bought my Amana bottom freezer refrigerator (Model # ABB 1924 WEWO) in August of 2010 for over $1100. By July 2012, it was leaking from the freezer. A thick layer of ice had collected under the freezer baskets and periodically defrosted and leaked. The Amana complaint department merely said that the refrigerator was out of warranty and offered to sell me a warranty for several hundred dollars. I refused the warranty and called a repairman who cost me $114. He said that the problem was a factory defect. The workers at the factory had plugged up the drain with a type of grommet called a duck bill. This kept the water from draining and caused the freezing. Clearly this was a factory defect, the result of incompetent workmanship and careless quality control. Of course, quality and Amana have become a contradiction in terms. I will never buy an Amana product, and I warn every other consumer to beware of Amana. In my experience, at the very least, this product is defective, and the company refuses to accept responsibility for the inferiority of its products.

The interior paint is peeling off in big flakes now. Before they were small, but a large part of the paint on the bottom of the oven is gone. I have contacted Maytag Corp. and was told to call a service person. From what I have seen online, this is an inherent problem with this product and the company should issue a recall and make an effort to fix it at no expense to the owner. The microwave still operates perfectly, but the fear of fire or paint in food prevents me from using it.

After just six years, the Amana refrigerator metal shelf supports have totally rusted. When I contacted Amana, they said that they would not cover it under warranty. It will cost over $160 to get new ones. This is not a quality product and Amana is certainly not a company that stands behind its products. Compared to the issues I see other people are having, I guess I am lucky. No more Amana refrigerators in my future. (The attached photo is upside but you'll get the idea.)

I purchased my refrigerator 4 years ago. Today, (bottom) freezer quit. I called the original store for info; 4 years old so it’s out of warranty. I called another service company - more than the first. I sought Amana online and called toll free. They confirmed "there is nothing they can do" due to past 1 year warranty. I called my friend who bought the same fridge; she had the same problem and invested much money into fridge, which never worked correctly. I then found many customers online having the same problem at 4 years; compressor quits!

I purchased a new freezer on the bottom refrigerator in 2007. In 2009, we had to replace the board, thermostat, and heater. It was approximately one week between ordering and installing new parts. Meanwhile, we had to shut the unit completely off for 12 hours, then restart. It took 5 hours to reach temp settings. On Sunday, it stopped cooling again and we need a board, a thermostat, and a heater. The repairman hopes to be back next week to install. He recommended same shut down and restart. I need a back up deep freeze to support my refrigerator.

I bought an Amana frontloader (Model #NFW7200TW) 4 years ago at Home Depot. Machine stopped draining and started showing error code (nd = not draining). I called a repairman, and he diagnosed the problem as a bad relay for the pump. He said because the relay was encased in resin on the back of the control panel, I would have to buy a new panel. Later, when he called me to give the part number, he said that the part was on a nationwide backorder and would be $400.00 when it became available on 10/15. I did some checking online and found that the part W10273828 is in fact on back order and no one has one. It seems that this means that this part is a definite weak link, and this model should be recalled. On this site, there are several posts with the same problem.

I have an Amana Radarange microwave (model AMC5101AAW). I am very happy with the overall ease of use. However, I noticed lately that the inside top had a few bubbles forming. The other day when I was wiping it clean almost, the whole white paint on top of the inside peeled off. The bottom and sides are fine. I just don't like the idea of the possibility of flakes of paint coming off in the food - or more of the paint peeling off the sides. What are the possibilities of something else happening with no paint covering the metal? I have young grandchildren and don't want something happening with them because of the paint peeling. I don't know what can be done because of this. I believe I had paid about $150 or $175 for it. I would like an answer about what to do with it. Thank you.

My washer has given me multiple problems within the first year! It always gets stuck on rinse, which raises my water bill. I have four children and one week before school, my washer stopped working. The technician was supposed to come between one to five. I got home and one of my neighbor said the tech was here at 12:00. He didn't even come back. They were supposed to then come the next day - no show, no call! They have given me nothing but rudeness. Do not buy from this company.

My refrigerator had stopped working. I called Amana and gave flamingo appliances to look at it. Technician said that water got into the lines and the refrigerator could not be fixed because of rust. I don't know how rust could form in an aluminum line and combine with the refrigerant. I have a service contract with Amana and they refused to honor it, because they said rust is not covered. I do not believe the technician because he did not look too hard and try different things. He was in my house about 15 minutes and called to Amana. I called Amana and they told me they would not even reimburse me for spoiled food because rust damage is not covered. I have time left on my contract and they would not pro-rate it either and want to charge me for the service call. I have to purchase a new refrigerator, but not anything that Amana makes.

I bought an Amana dishwasher model ADB1500AWW3 in early 2011 from Home Depot. I had originally chosen another brand, but the sales clerk told me that the Amana would last longer than the one I had chosen. What she did not tell me was that the control panel would not last one year. A couple of cycles, it stopped working early on, but being I didn't use those much I thought I would see what happened. Then it stopped working altogether. I called Home Depot and was told that being it was over one year they could not do anything about it. I will never waste my money on Amana products again.

My Amana Range model no. ARTSC8651SS - I purchased the above stainless steel range, matching microwave, and refrigerator. It was under warranty and started beeping with an F-1 code flashing. I called and it was fixed. Then, I bought an extended warranty and it failed again but was fixed again. I did not get (because it was getting too expensive) another extension and now it failed again. When I contacted Amana customer service, Melanie ** said that the range is old and they do not have the panels. What got me angry was that I called a company here in Toledo, Ohio and they have the parts I need. Amana should have recalled that range and admitted that Amana is junk. Now, they sell junk and also lie to cover their lack of good workmanship products. I will never buy Amana products again! How can you get these people to stop ripping off the customers?

Amana freezer (AQF2013TEW03) - I purchased a 20 Cu Ft upright freezer in February 2011. I had a repairman here in March 2011 because I could see light around the outside, right side of the seal. Because the light was on continuously, it kept the inside warm therefore, the freezer ran nonstop for 6 weeks. Now, the inside keeps frosting up on the top. Because it is no longer in warranty, I called a different repair company. The person who came out said that the whole inside of the door is falling part, defective mold and it's sagging. The seal at the top of the door is not straight across nor never was. Because the inside door is sagging, the seal was and is continuing to sag. I called customer service for the third time today. They said because it is out of warranty, they won't do anything about it. I told them it's been a problem since I bought it and they said that I should have told them within 90 days of the first repair that it wasn't correct.

I purchased an Amana stainless steel refrigerator with freezer drawer on bottom in December 2010 for $1,200. Just five months past, the 12-month warranty freezer defroster stopped functioning and water would pour out from freezer all over kitchen floor. Repair cost $250 to install a heater rod that the repair company (REO Appliance in Norwalk, CT, where we purchased the product) told us used to be installed in the units by Amana at the factory but chose to stop using them to save money.

I purchased an Amana washer model NFW7200TW in 02/2010. I had to have a repair technician come out on November of the same year - the water was not draining and the pump was not working. Now, it’s the same issue. Of course, Amana offered to sell me an extended one-year warranty for $300.00 (a little less than 1/2 the cost of the machine) since my warranty was for one year, even though it was the same issue. I've also read where others have had the same issue. I will not deal with this company again.

My fridge is seven and a half years old. It is an SS Amana side-by-side. About three years ago, so it was five years old at the time, the fridge stopped cooling. And when the repair man came, out the freezer coils were all frosted up. At this time, he replaced the defrost timer but said he did not feel comfortable that that was it. That was in June. In November, it happened again. We replaced it yet again.

My Amana bottom freezer refrigerator, which is about 6 years old, broke down in November 2011. The circuit board was the reason as advised by the service man. I declined the offer of a 3-year warranty and agreed to pay for a new circuit board--about $350 if not more. I planned on changing the fridge in any case so I agreed to pay. This April, five months had gone by and the freezer is all iced up. The upper section of the fridge is not blowing in cool air so I called the service people again. The service man opens the freezer, takes away the back panel, uses the blow dryer, opens the back area and tells me it's the circuit board again.

I was given an expensive (about $300/$400) Amana microwave last year. One year and one day exactly, it just quit. It wouldn't work, nothing. My daughter called the repair and they said they'd send out a repairman. He called to confirm the appointment and the first words were, "Will this be credit, check or cash?" I called the Amana company and they told me the cost would be $129 for the man to come to the house and diagnose the problem. Anything else would be extra as the warranty had expired (one day before the machine stopped working). For less than the service call, we got another brand of microwave that works just as well. If it goes out in a year, it will still be cheaper than anything Amana offers.

I bought my Amana NFW7200TW in March of 2010 and I am receiving the code ND which means will not drain. First, this machine is only 2 years old and I shouldn't even be having any problems with this machine. I was provided with 2 options; buy an extended warranty for $299.00 + tax or pay for a technician $129.00 just to come out then part and labor as well will be charged. I purchased the machine for $554.00 + tax and the options that were provided to me are almost the cost of the machine itself, with no guarantee this will not occur in another 2 years. Warranties are only good for 1 year, yet the appliance seems to go on the same part for everyone, from what I have been reading within 2 years. This item should be recalled as it is ripping off the consumers.

My husband and I bought a brand new Amana front load washer in May of 2009. Last week, March 5, 2011, it broke. It began buzzing. When I went to check it, the washer has an “ND” code and it would not open. The first girl I spoke with was Samantha. She told me that she couldn't find that code in her computer (on the net is says it means no drain, most likely true), but she told me how to get the washer to unlocked. Eventually, it did work. My washer still had dirty water and soap in it. I handled the soapy mess and later washed my clothing at my in-law’s house. When I called back to talk to them about why my washer wouldn't work and what they could do to help me, I was told nothing.

I had an Amana gas stove/oven, and replaced approximately 4 thermostats over 5 years. I decided to get rid of it and get a new stove oven. When I went to buy the new oven, I thought maybe my Amana oven was somehow a lemon. Knowing that Amana used to mean quality, I stupidly bought another Amana gas stove/oven, which is a better model, and now more digital, and have had it since last fall.

I purchased an Amana refrigerator on 3/22/2010, model # ABB2222FEB3, serial #K00561248. Purchase price of the unit is $1,225.10. Less than two years later, 3/6/2012, the circuit board that monitors when to defrost the cooling system failed. Service call price is $68, labor and replacement parts $432, tax $35. Total repair bill is $530. I called Amana customer service dept to learn while they stand behind their product, they will not pay for repair. So product's shoddy workmanship, lack of quality control are the customers' problem. Never buy another Amana product in this lifetime.

In September of 2009, I purchased an Amana refrigerator, model # AFD2535DEB Serial # KY287062. In September of 2011, the crisper draw center rail broke. The draws were not overloaded. We are a two-person adult home with perhaps a daily draw usage. I replaced it with the appropriate part on September 11, 2011. On November 5, 2011, the replacement rail broke in less than two months. The draws were not overloaded. I purchased my first replacement from Appliance Parts Pros. The current one was ordered from a link directly from the Amana web page. On 3/3/12, it has broken again. Each time, this has to be replaced, it cost $25. According to other reports, Amana is not covering the replacement. Are we to believe we must spend $100 a year for the life of the fridge?

Amana Refrigerator, Not Good After 6 Years: We purchased an Amana bottom freezer refrigerator, model#ABB2227DES, serial#10253964EP at Sears approximately 6 years ago. We have had numerous issues with the refrigerator starting just after the 12-month warranty ran out. At one point, I paid $300 for an extended warranty. I had to have more repairs on it and was told by several technicians that the compressor would be going and it won’t be worth paying for the repair (roughly 50% of the $1300 that we paid for the fridge). At this point, including the purchase and repairs of the refrigerator, we are over the $2000 mark. Again, the fridge just died and we have been told that the compressor is gone and it would not be worth it to fix unless Whirlpool agrees to pay the repairs. I would like Whirlpool to pay for the repairs of this refrigerator or provide a comparable refrigerator, or I will contact my own attorney in regard to this.

We purchased this washer on 11/11/10 because my washer finally let go after 18 years of wonderful service. I have had A&E at my house 6 times to fix this washer the main problem was it was chewing up and shredding my clothes and leaking then the seal around the door would come off that has been replaced multiple times. The mother board and transmission also have been replaced.

We purchased the Amana refrigerator 8 years ago from Alabama Power Company and we have multiple problems over the years. For example, the ice maker sometimes dispenses the ice and sometimes it will not. Also, we have not the water valve intake gone bad and saturated our carpets. We had replaced it at the tune of approximately $300 and time off work having to wait on the repairman. Now, once again it has gone bad and we are again waiting on a repairman. I am very disgruntled with this since we did pay good money and continue with practically a new refrigerator which should last many years.

I purchased this fridge 9/2010, and the compressor is already shot. I see from other complaints that compressors have been a problem, but Amana Whirlpool has done nothing to help out customers (unless they agreed to the extortion of the extended warranty). I guess Amana Whirlpool is only for people who can afford to buy major appliances every year or pay huge repair bills as soon as the product is out of warranty, or pay for protection (does this remind anyone else of bribing cops to do their job?). My previous fridge was an Amana. my next will not be.

The oven just quit working. It started beeping and displayed F1. I have to turn it off at the breaker box because the constant beeping is insanely horrible!

We have an Amana 30" slide-in gas range (model # ACS3350AS) that is about 6 years old. The top burners are out of adjustment and are burning yellow. I went to the Amana website to find out how to adjust the air/fuel ratio and they wanted payment for answering a question. I spent 35 years in the gas customer service department of a large utility company, 20 of which were spent as a service technician for gas heating/hot water heating systems. After reading some of the complaints and evaluating their level of customer service and overall customer sensitivity, this company, Amana, is failing miserably. The upshot is that their executive management should probably seek positions that require a more parochial approach to business.

I purchased the Amana 25.1 cu. ft. Side-by-Side Refrigerator in Stainless Steel, Model# ASD2522WRS from Home Depot 15 months ago, in September 2010. Two weeks ago, all my food in my fridge spoiled. I noticed while I was pouring milk in my son's cup, something told me to taste it because it didn't smell fresh even though it had over three weeks until expiration. It tasted like sour cream. I am so glad my child didn't drink that. I almost threw up. Also, I had four-day old ice tray in my freezer that was still liquid, my ice cream softened and all my son's popsicles crumbled to my touch. I had to throw away majority of our food and we've been eating carry outs since.

We purchased an Amana slide in range model ACSE350AS and as temp approached 350, it turned off. Despite numerous complaints from many consumers, Amana refuses to stand by its products.

I can't stress enough how disappointed and upset I am, not only with the brand new refrigerator (model A9RXNMSWS01) breaking after 16 months, but nonsense communication, attitude, and difficulties Amana customer service just displayed! Warning: Do not purchase the top freezer, 2-door, stainless steel Amana refrigerator. The compressor will die soon after 12 months. The contracted repair person mentioned this is not uncommon with this brand. So, after spending $866 on this junk, we had to shell out another $300 in repair costs.Then the repair failed to work! Two Amana compressors defective! No, we did not have the extended warranty but how often does a fridge die? Not after 1.4 years! Amana CS was awful, combative and couldn't communicate a clear sentence. These are lemons!

New Amana fridge in June of '08: The ice-maker broke in November and was fixed under warranty. 6 months later (still in warranty), it stops working, but only occasionally. Stupid me should have gotten it fixed again, but it wasn't that bad. When it broke for good, the flimsy 1-year warranty (really, people?) had just ended, though it was less than a year since the first problem. I called Amana - they refused to help. I decided this was just wrong, and called to complain. After 35 minutes on hold, I got an agent who was so rude I decided to complain about her. The problem was, she refused to even give her name!

I purchased Amana fridge (model AFD2535DEQ) on 12-4-2008. Excellent looks, cooling, and energy conservation. Loved the bottom freezer. On December 2011, the fridge’s cooling lost efficiency. The repair tech says top compressor is not working. The cost to repair is half the cost of the fridge. To date the top fridge is keeping at 39 degrees while set on coldest setting. Freezer works fine. For the forty years of my marriage I have purchased and used Maytag and Amana products. Never again! A refrigerator that costs over a thousand dollars and lasts only three years is not a good investment. As a side note, my daughter had the same problem with her Amana at only five years old. She replaced with Kenmore.

I purchased an Amana refrigerator model AFF2534FEW3, two years ago. All of a sudden, the refrigerator is not cooling but the freezer is working. To apparently repair the controller board, it will cost me $232.00. When I purchased this refrigerator, I expected it to last a lot longer than it has and from reading other complaints, I see that it is an ongoing problem with Amana. You would think that they might recall these faulty controller boards. I will definitely not buy another Amana again and will not recommend them to anyone!

I bought washer dryer fridge combo from Home Depot and 16 months later, the compressor goes out in my frig. and needs $900 repair and lost all my $400 plus in food. Thanks for caring, Amana and Home Depot that you shot our holiday. We have no more money to fix or replace our food crackers for our holiday. Can we all get together and sue them both? This is wrong.

I bought an Amana fridge with our tax money just over a year ago. Its was a hard decision to spend over $1,000 on a fridge, but here we are just over a year later and the crisper drawer has crumbled and disintegrated on the slider edge. Bad design and bad choice of materials. Amana, of course, says the drawer is not covered under any warranty. They want well over $100 for a new drawer. That’s 10% of the original price. To hell with Amana. I won’t make that mistake again. Pass the word: Don’t buy Amana! I’m stacking fruit/veggies on top of the bottom drawer for now. I’m searching the web in vain to find a cheaper drawer. I’m really, really pissed off!

Our 7 year old Amana Bottom mount fridge started making the 'sound of death'-- the start overload /relay clicking every 3 minutes and the compressor not running. I tried replacing the start overload/relay just in case that would fix it. It did for a week and now the fridge is dead. Testing the compressor leads shows the compressor is dead. Replacement cost of a compressor here is $500 parts plus $350 labor. I am told by service technicians that the compressors in not just Amana but most all current 'energy efficient' fridges are conking out on average between year 7 and 10.

We bought an Amana refrigerator #ABD2533DEB in Dec 2004. We have had it for 7 years. It's just 2 adults in our house, so the fridge is like new. We just paid $95 to find out the compressor is shot. The cost to repair will be $800, $300 for the compressor and $500 labor. We were told that the compressor that failed had been made in China and that there have been many issues with these compressors! We were assured that all new "after market" compressors are now made in Korea with far fewer issues.

Our Amana/Whirlpool electric dryer failed a month before the warranty expired. It was repaired under warranty. Two years later, the heating element failed. I can fix this myself. I just ordered the part that will cost $136. We are a family of three and we dry clothes outside on a clothesline in the summer, so we didn't wear out this appliance.

We had a brand new house built two years ago. The builder installed Amana appliances, except the fridge and washer and dryer, which we furnished. Our dishwasher gave out after only a year and a half. It was more effective to buy a new one than to have the part replaced. 6 months later, our oven just gave out as well. It'll cost half the price to have someone to come look at it as it will to replace it, and if nothing is wrong we're out $200 off the bat. Horrible customer service and horrible product integrity, what an awful company!

There seems to be no solution regarding the baskets in my Amana model SRD22VPSE. They fall out whenever they are pulled on. One must pull on them to retrieve the frozen goods. They won't stay on the side railings. Amana offers no solutions. Whenever I need something that is frozen, I will have it on the floor.

Amana dryer, less than 2 years old, doesn't heat anymore. About a $300 repair for a $600 product. Do you remember your parents replacing appliances as often as we have to? I don't. Garbage in and here is your garbage out Amana/Whirlpool. At first when I called, I was told they don't even make the model even after I repeated several times off their own sticker. Then all of a sudden, they do make it once I mentioned that Home Depot may be selling "knockoffs" of their products. All of a sudden, "oh yes, here it is". What a joke. They keep telling me that they are all consumers too and understand my frustration. They aren't willing to do anything about it though. I guess I am expected to feel good about their products because they "understand".

I purchased an Amana refrigerator 3 years ago and so soon the compressor went out. I had a 4-year warrant from Home Depot. Some guy, he was not with Home Depot but from an appliance repair store, they hired came out and he was very rude. I would ask him a question about the freon and he would shrug his shoulders. I think this was because he is white and I'm Spanish. Lately, since the apartments next door have been empty for a year, roaches have come to my home from there. Because I keep up on roach control, we did not have them before. He found two roaches on the floor and put down we were infested, which we are not. Now Home Depot says they will not fix it. But another repair person says that’s absurd. Even if you have them roaches, they can not get in the compressor.

On November 23, 2011, my 2007 Amana French door, bottom freezer refrigerator model # AFI2538AES began making a loud popping noise, touch pad panel lights flashing, and cooling stopped. The popping noise was from the ice maker flap opening and closing. The HV board needs replaced, Whirlpool Manufacturer #12920710.

On 2/15/2010, I purchased an Amana Refrigerator for $1019. My old refrigerator was noisy. I had my new Amana for 7 months before it starting making loud noises. Had it repaired under my warranty. 11/25/2011, the refrigerator's main part no longer was cooling, although the freezer was still working. Amana now wants $65 for a house call, plus labor and parts or $312 for a one year warranty which would include this repair. How disgusting is this to pay that much for an appliance and have it work for approximately 18 months, and then have the manufacturer want additional money it repair this lemon. After reading some of the reviews, I would never pay an Amana repair man and or buy Amana again. The consumer should be able to get relief from companies like this.

On Sept 26, 2011, when the fridge part of my Amana Refrigerator, Model # ABL192ZFES, Serial # 10379497JX, was not cooling properly, I phoned Trail Appliance where I purchased the fridge. They gave me the number of W3 solutions, a contract service company at 1-866-913-1350, and I was given the Extended Warranty Order # G09264, claim # 95199095. The freezer was working fine at this time. A week later, a technician came and told me he needed to order parts to correct the problem.

We purchased a basic model Amana refrigerator A9RXNMFWB01 in June 2010, delivered in July 2010. The refrigerator was making a lot of noise the past few months. We didn't realize the fan was not working properly. When the fan quit, the food was still frozen in the top freezer. But the refrigerator compartment would not go below 50 degrees. I called for the Amana technician. A & E couldn't make it over until the following week, so we called a local repairman. $182 later, new fan, the refrigerator is fixed. It's only 15 months old! Our old Amana is still running since 1997.

In 2007, I purchased an electric ceramic top slide in range model acs4250-aw. It was installed in a vacation home and used four to eight weeks per year and is still in pristene condition. In July 2011, the ERC timer panel short circuited and burned, rendering the unit nonfunctional. We have made extensive inquiries through the internet and through other sources by phone and have failed to find a replacement panel which we come to find is no longer available.

I bought an Amana Model AFI2538AES6 side by side refrigerator with bottom freezer. 3 months after purchase, ice formed in the freezer area below and I couldn't get the door open. They sent a repair man and he fixed it (supposedly). I then left for 6 months and upon my return the same problem is occurring. I called Amana and they basically told me "tough it is out of warranty." I will never buy an Amana product again!

I bought an Amana Refrigerator Model ABB1924DEB in 2004. Within several months, it was making funny noises. Several repair technicians and hundreds of dollars later, all I was told was that those were normal sounds. They kept getting worse until the other day when the freezer and fridge no longer work. This was the worst purchase I've ever made, and will never buy another Amana or Maytag product. Buyers beware! Now, as I look online, I see all these brands are owned by Whirlpool, along with many others. The company is running a damn monopoly and should be busted up. Whatever happened to competition? America loses when competition is stifled.

In 2006, I purchased all new Amana products, $1500 French Door Refrigerator AFD2535DEB bought 5yr extended warranty now another 3yr warranty. What a joke! I have lost over $800 in food and no one will fix it. The freezer works but the refrigerator in warm. Takes over two weeks to get a repair man to the house and when he gets there, it's working again. Then they want to charge you for a service call because they couldn't get there when it wasn't working! Do not buy Amana!

We purchased Amana Refrigerator model# ABB2222FEW on 8-15-06. We replaced control board when the refrigerator was only 2 yrs & 4 months old and it cost $216. Well guess what, it just went out again. The part cost me $111. My husband will try to replace it. If he can't, we will have to dish out another $100. This is ridiculous. Amana needs to step up and have a recall on this product. (See previous complaint on 12/21/09)

We bought an Amana Refrigerator in May 2005. It is now 6 1/2 years old and began making noises recently It died last night and the repair will be about $800 or more. This fridge was working fine until recently. Over the past two years my parents and my wife's parents both bought this same model as they liked ours. Hopefully theirs won't die as well. We called a repairman who said that, that year (2005), there were problems with the compressors.

I just had to replace the controller board in my Amana French Door Refrigerator, which is just 2 1/2 years old. The cost was $300. I had a Kenmore before this that lasted over 20 years. I'm extremely unhappy. I would never buy an Amana product again.

My three-year old bottom freezer fridge's coil was warm so I lost food worth $300. I was told that the repair fee is $387. There goes my week of work. Thanks, Amana. I truly regret purchasing from you.

I will never buy an Amana product again. We purchased an Amana gas stove three years ago. I cleaned it one year after we got it and the glass in the door looked like something leaked inside. I called about it and they stated that the seal came loose and there was nothing they could do about it. We could replace it for some ridiculous price. Now, we are having trouble with the glass because it gets moisture in there and there is mold growing. Again, we have to pay to have it fixed.

I currently own an Amana French door refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher. I have had these products for a little over a year and the warranty on these products is a year.

We bought an Amana oven from Home Depot in July 2010. We did not purchase the extended warranty package. You would think when you buy an appliance that you would get, at least, five plus years out of it. Well, in September 2011, our oven stopped working. We had the gas company come to check out the gas that we smelled. He said that the fire ignition is no good. So, we are two months past the warranty and this oven needs to be repaired. Needless to say, we are not happy and the gas representative said that he would never get an Amana oven.

The touchpad membrane control has failed several times in the 10 years that I have owned an expensive Amana range. Amana replaced the part at the first failure but I had to pay thereafter. Each repair costs $100.00 for parts--relatively inexpensive because I do the repair myself. This failure should not happen. Amana is no longer the quality manufacturer that it once had been. I will not purchase any Amana appliances in the future.

I purchased an 'Amana Gas Grill' and within a year, the burners went bad and the flavor grids were falling apart. I called Amana and they said they would ship out the burners & flavor grids but they are on order. The parts were on order for almost a full year! When I called to check up on my part order, they say I didn't pay the $15 shipping and handling. But I gave the agent my credit card info and he said I would be billed when they ship. But then the other agent is saying I have been waiting because they haven't billed my credit card and on top of that they are not going to send the flavor grids! I am so disappointed in Amana!! I have left numerous messages for a manager to call me back, but I still have not received a call from one as of yet! I have learned the hard lesson that Amana really doesn't care about their customers. I'm glad I found this out before I bought my other appliances!

I thought I'd done adequate research through Consumer Reports, etc. My Amana French door refrigerator model # AFD2535FES worked fine for the first year. Then, the food compartment wasn't as cold as it should be and food began to spoil, although the food in the freezer drawer was rock solid and snow started forming on the inside. I'd purchased an extended warranty, so I thought having it repaired would be a non-issue. The repairman said it was due to too much food in the freezer, so air couldn't circulate into the food compartment. He said to defrost the freezer, which I did. It seemed to work OK for two weeks and the same thing happened again--all the food spoiled again, even with minimal food in the freezer. The second repairman came out, this time he said it needed a new 'heating element'. I waited another week for the part to arrive (more time off work) and then he returned and replaced it. Two weeks later, the same problem happened. Spoiled food again, and time off work. I am expecting the repairman later today.

We have owned an Amana Range AER5830VAX0 for two years. From cooking and appearance the appliance is just fine. The problem we have been dealing with is the Plastic flange at the ends of the oven range handle. The piece has cracked and chipped post warranty and it cost over $60 to replace. You need to replace the entire handle. That was this past spring. Here it is mid September and the new piece it has is now breaking apart once again.

I am writing regarding my Amana microwave AMCS101AAS purchased 4 years ago. I am really disappointed with it. The inner paint on the walls and under the plate has basically all peeled off. Now it is starting to rust around the glass in the door. It is used by a retired couple. So, it is not heavily used. But I feel the paint should not be letting go.

On February 4th 2009, I purchased an Amana front load washer and since September 29th 2010, we have had it serviced four times to replace. First, the door latch sensor; second, the door itself; third, the front panel and fourth, a new motor was installed on August 30th 2011. Now, we still have the error code 3e, which was supposed to be for the motor pop up again on September 3rd and I had to put in a fifth service.

Last February 2006, I purchased an Amana Top Refrigerator Bottom Freezer. For 5 years, this is the third time I replace its Control Board. And today (9/2011), I was told that I need my THIRD Control Board ($300) replace again. I got no help from my local retailer or Amana. I will never buy this junk again. For 5 years, this refrigerator cost me $1000 new Control Boards and $900 in repairs!

Bought a French door freezer on the bottom Amana fridge three years ago. Today, there is a repairman here costing me $300 to repair a faulty computer unit. It won't defrost so it froze the line where the cold air goes from the freezer to the fridge. The freezer is all ice crystals, the fridge is warm. All our food and frozen food is garbage. We've only had it for three years. Our last GE fridge lasted for 30 years without a repair.

In late 2001 or 2002, I purchased a drop-in electric Amana Kitchen Range, model #ARTSC865OE. The touch pad control panel was replaced twice by the merchant where I purchased it. On the third occurrence, he suggested that I deal directly with Amana for another replacement. I used a local repair shop that replaced the panel again at my expense. Part of the local knowledge repair was to put insulation behind the front panel with the control panel and knobs to keep heat away. In addition, the high temperature crystals on the knob panel continue to break off. One repair call to replace them cost me $75 and now 2 more are broken. I assume the heat makes them brittle. Now, the top broiler element is not heating. Since this is Labor Day, we're out tomorrow to replace the stove and matching microwave. It won't be Amana, Maytag etc. Also the local small business retailer that sold this to us has lost our recent appliance purchases of over $5,000.

After owning the Amana refrigerator for less than 7 years, the refrigerator is started to fail. Is that how long a new refrigerator should last?

We have a 3-year-old Amana refrigerator that keeps breaking down. It currently is freezing all of my fruits and vegetables. It has done this twice before then overheated.

In December of 2003, I purchased a drop-in Amana range model #ACS4250. The oven recently abruptly stopped heating. The repairman informs me that the part needed to repair the oven (electronic control #77001240) has been discontinued.

I was coming down the stairs to get my son a bottle at 6:00 AM and heard a strange noise. As I walked into the living room, it was filled with a foul smelling smoke. I yelled and woke up my father who came running down the stairs. My father unplugged the fridge from the wall and put the fire out. Our slate flooring is burnt, and my son and I had mild smoke inhalation.

We purchased an Amana side-by-side refrigerator-freezer seven years ago with an integrated water and ice dispenser. Several months ago, I woke up at night to the sound of running water. When I reached the kitchen, I saw that the appliance's LCD had burned out and water was flowing from the water dispenser. A design defect allows the switch that controls the water to open when the control panel fails.

I purchased an Amana Refrigerator model # ABB2222FEQ in Oct. 2006. In Feb 2008 (15 months later), we had to replace the "control board" since the refrigerator wasn't keeping things cold, and the freezer froze things rock-solid. Luckily, we had extended warranty. The warranty expired in 2/26/11. 2 weeks later, the same part broke down again (same problems), and it cost almost $300 in repairs. I wrote Amana and Whirlpool without getting any relief. I believe they should have covered the repair, or at least provided the part as compensation. I will never buy another Amana product again. We also had a Amana microwave purchased last 10/06 and the main heating elements went bad in less than 1 year. This was covered by warranty.

Purchased Amana dryer Model # NED7200TW, Serial Number 10260560NN. My first complaint was 2 weeks after the 1 year warranty ran out. The drum in the dryer split down the seam. After months of disputing with Amana, they finally reinbursed me for the cost of the drum but did not participate in the rollers that had been eaten up by the drum or any of the labor. Several months go by and the heating element breaks. I didn't even bother with Amana on this one. Just called the local repair man and had it fixed.

Amana glass top stove caught fire. A ridiculously loud popping and flame and spark lit up under the glass. I am thankful I was there to turn it off, though I did not want to put my hand close. The stove top blew a double throw breaker. The cooktop is less than five years old. I can not believe I am the first to report this. Watch out for your Amana cooktop. Had I have something other than granite counters, I think the kitchen would have caught fire on Sunday.

I bought a new Amana ceramic top slide in range in 2000, Model no. ARTSC8651. In 2003, the F1 alarm sounded and I replaced the ERC sensor board. Same thing in 2006 and repeated in 2010. Now once again 2011, less than one year later, the same problem has occurred. I called Amana customer service and they said that they have no reports of this problem but that they could report it. She then mentioned that after all, my range was 10 years old with no mention of the fact that it started failing when it was three years old. My last range lasted for 25 years.

We bought this Amana refrigerator 2 years and 3 months ago. The blower fan in the freezer went out. When talking to two other family members who have the same refrigerator, they told me they had the same problem with the same refrigerator. One was only 3 months old and the other one was only a year old. So this must be an ongoing problem with these refrigerators. So why are we not telling the consumer that this refrigerator has a tendency to have this happen? We would have never purchased this if we had known it would only last two years. Foods had to be thrown out due to it not working. The food in the freezer thawed because we were gone for a few days to not notice. Model #ATB 1932MRWO1, serial #EW 4704466.

After 5 years of light use, our Amana refrigerator failed. An independent and very reliable repairman examined the appliance and determined that a replacement part was needed. We have been waiting more than nine days for it. Amana was once a reliable brand. We will never buy anything from this manufacturer or its affiliates, Maytag and Whirlpool.

We purchased an Amana Refrigerator on 01/14/2009 from a local dealer (Don Dewitt). It is a bottom freezer, model ABB2222FEB that retailed for over $1400.00, and the salesman made a deal with us for $964.00 because it had a very minor dent which was only cosmetic. We were very happy with the refrigerator, but on Easter Sunday (4/24/11) morning, we discovered that all of our frozen foods were defrosted and melted causing us to quickly rebuy all new foods for our Easter dinner we were hosting later that day.

type #**. After endorsing/selling Whirlpool products and services for over 13 years, I no longer will do so. Maytag - Whirlpool - General Electric - Hotpoint. All the same garbage anymore. I also no longer buy products from Detroit. Whatever happened to pride in workmanship? I enjoy what I do and I am ** good at it. I wish Americans from border to border felt and did the same thing.

This does not include any additional damage that could have been cause from the heating element have been for over nine hours.

We bought Amana electric stove from Home Depot and it was delivered in the beginning of September 2010. We got a lot of events going on like our son's wedding, trip to Spain and another trips. Since we started to use it recently, the cook top started to look disgusting. As a cleaner I used #1 rated Weiman Glass Cook Top cleaner.

We purchased an Amana slide in Range, model ACSE350AS approximately 7 years ago and once it gets up to approximately 350 degrees, it turns off. There have been numerous complaints regarding similar instances. Amana refuses to assist and the "brain" is no longer being manufactured.

I have the Amana gas over model ACS3350AS. As I have been reading, this is a very common problem. The door doesn't close all the way causing the ECP to melt. I have replaced this 2 times already. Amana knows this is a factory error, yet they do not stand behind there products! I want to be part of a lawsuit against them. Anyone? Don't buy Amana. They have poor products and horrible customer support. This oven came with a new construction home!

I purchased an Amana Refrigerator and it was delivered around Dec. 30, 2008. In May 2009, it stopped cooling and all the food spoiled. It was repaired obviously because it was still under warranty being only five months old. It just happened to me again. The fridge is not even two years old and it stopped cooling and I lost all my food again. I have an extended warranty for parts but I have to pay for the service call which is a ridiculous amount of money. I am very worried that even if fixed, it will happen again. There is something obviously wrong with the construction of this refrigerator. I called customer service for Amana and even asked to speak to a supervisor and they said they could do nothing for me.

Washer needs repaired or replaced. Called four times at number above and was promised they would have a tech. to repair washer. The first time I called was November 9, 2010 and every week including today, they give me the runaround that they cannot find a tech. in my area to repair my washer.

I have an Amana Refrigerator French Door Stainless Steel I bought 3 years ago. We have gone through 6 center rail supports for vegetable and fruit bins that keep breaking at the tip where it mounts into the cross bar that holds the glass shelves above, an obvious design flaw and should be made of aluminum. They are $3 to $4 each and it is a royal pain in the **! I sent an email to CEO Jeff Fettig. His secretary called me 3 days later (2 weeks ago) and said they would look into the matter and call me back. Guess what, no call back, like I really expected it. We had a sub-zero that was old, (15 years old) and wanted to try something for less dollars, this was $2500.00, still not cheap but has been a pain. Whirlpool/Amana, you just lost me as a customer!

I purchased an Amana Range and when I plugged it in the range blew out my circuit breaker. I called the place where I purchased the range and they called Amana and a service tech came out. He found that the electrical system in the range needed to be repaired.

We bought a Amana refrigerator 2 years ago and the compressor just went in it. We spent a lot of money on this and did not realize at the time that there was only a one year warranty on all parts of the refrigerator. We were never told or offered an extended warranty. I am very upset with this matter, we had a quote for replacing the compressor and it was over 450.00. You have got to be kidding me right!

A broken part on refrigerator, model AFF 2534FEW, serial 106496LT drawer support. This is an obvious design flaw in that part #67003854 (shelf support) has broken in half at a point of no support. This refrigerator experiences very light use. Amana refuses to replace their badly designed part as the warranty has expired. Their bad design is now "my responsibility." $50.00 to replace.

A broken part on my refrigerator: model AFF 2534FEW, serial 106496LT drawer support. This is an obvious design flaw in that part no. 67003854 (shelf support) has broken in half at a point of no support. This refrigerator experiences very light use. Amana refuses to replace their badly designed part as the warranty has expired. Their bad design is now "my responsibility," which costs $50.00 to replace.

The Amana ACS3350AS gas range is faulty. There's a bad door latch that causes the oven to leak heat and fry the front control panel, making the oven worthless. Amana stopped selling the control panel, so there is no way to fix the 4 year old appliance. The oven was rarely used. It still looks new.

My oven’s inner door shattered during the night. The oven had not been used in several days. I contacted Maytag Dependability Plus through whom we'd purchased a service contract. We’re told that glass was not covered under policy. They suggested we contact Amana, which we did. Amana would be pleased to order glass, schedule service, etc., but we would have to purchase glass since they only guarantee for 1 year. Maytag policy is vague, they told me the glass was not covered, but I cannot find it on their exclusions.

At the end of November 2009, I bought a cooking range from Amana. Since we purchased it, the coil elements and drip bowls need to be replaced 4 times. The door handle broke in June and it took 3 months to replace it. It was finally replaced at the end of September along with the broken elements. The elements and door handle were both back-ordered. The drip bowls also needed to be replaced, but those were only replaced mid October, 4 months after informing Amana. Last week the door handle cracked again at the exact same spot less than a month after it being replaced.

Purchased Amana French door bottom mount refrigerator in December, 2004, and it wasn't cheap. I love my refrigerator! Last year, the cooling fan had to be replaced (not in warranty, of course).

In late 2001, I purchased a drop-in electric Amana Kitchen Range model #ARTSC8651 for a kitchen, family room & bathroom remodel job. The appliance center where I purchased it agreed to hold it until the remodeling was finished. We remodeled and bought all new appliances because I was retiring in a few years and we thought these appliances would last a long time. After all, our only washing machines lasted 20+ years each. There is no reason why a good range shouldn't last 20 years.

The worst appliance I have ever bought, ACS3350 slide in gas range, is supposed to be a class action lawsuit in Florida about this product. After numerous repairs and just crappy quality of plastic parts falling apart, suddenly the oven door fell open and the metal is buckled and warped. No way I am going to pay to get a new door after all the money I already spent on it. It would probably fall apart again. The appliance is 7 years old but I had problems with it after just 2 years. I haven't had an oven all summer or a broiler for well over a year.

We have had an Amana fridge for 21 years - no problem. When we moved to a new house, we bought another Amana fridge (expensive). Within the warranty, we replaced the compressor. Now 6 years out, the compressor is gone because of the cooling tubes corroding. The estimated repair bill is over $1200 including parts and labor. I called the CEO's office (Jeff ** at Whirlpool) and expressed my displeasure. It seems all they can do is offer "sorry". The situation seems to be a design fault, built in failure. I'll not buy another without some satisfaction. I have lost all products in the fridge and freezer.

We purchased an Amana oven about 4 years ago and have had the same ongoing problem with it since the purchase. Within the first year, we had to have the touch plate replaced and the same problem has happened 3 more times. We had to purchase an extended warranty to keep from having to pay for this expense. The warranty is with Asure Extended Service. We were told that after 3 of the same problems, Amana would replace the faulty oven. Now we can't get them to release the information to us showing that they have fixed the same problem going on 4 times. It's torn up right now and they are supposed to come fix it next week. This makes the 4th time of the same problem. We are very upset and feel like we own a lemon.

The door of the bottom freezer, first rusted only in joint to the handle. Now, 2 years later, rust spots all over the door to the bottom freezer. Sears said it is cosmetics. I believe that it is cheap, paint and material from which door is made.

Well, this is embarrassing, but right is right, and I need to ask that my submission of yesterday or the day before be pulled, or at least apologize for my inaccurate comments about Amana. I told my whole story of how this terrible smell had permeated my refrigerator and house, and there was no way to access the drip pan to clean it out. Yesterday afternoon I just couldn't stand it anymore and we put the refrigerator out in the sun room. When I got up this morning, the (enclosed) sun room smelled just fine and the kitchen still stunk. It's the darn stove! My husband's theory is that the fan for the compressor in the refrigerator somehow was pulling the rancid smell over from the nearby stove, making it appear to come from there.

January 13, 2006 purchased Amana top freezer refrigerator Model ATB1836ARB, Serial #12803066GN. This was to replace a similar Amana that had had for over 10 years and loved! Last week, food compartment became warm, freezer still worked. Called local appliance company where I purchased all of my appliances and they provided excellent repair service. Technician came, advised needed a Defrost Heater and would order and be back today.
