Don’t Buy Amana Refrigerators… They don’t last!!!
Marian July 4th, 2007
In 2001, when Circuit City was getting out of the appliance part of their business, we bought an Amana side-by-side refrigerator… It worked well for the first year or so, but after the 3rd year, we began to have problems…
Now, here we are in 2007 and the thing was irreparably broken… A wire, somewhere in the back wall of the fridge was broken. Now, the repairman said it could be made to work once again, but it would open him up to lawsuits.
The refrigerator was an Amana ars 2364ac. I Googled it, and found that we weren’t the only ones to have this problem… I still have fridges that are over 20 years old… They may not be terrible energy efficient, but they used to be built to last! These companies need to think of the consumer, rather than the bottom line!
The scary thing is, is that Maytag Corporation, which bought Amana a few years ago, also owns Whirlpool, KitchenAid, et al… Be careful when shopping for your new appliances… You may get exactly what you don’t want. DO YOUR RESEARCH! Remember, Caveat Emptor…..
