Consumers whose Amana refrigerator, cooktop, stove, microwave oven, dishwasher, washer or dryer has stopped working might be tempted to pick up the phone and call the appliance repairman.
"Not so fast!" says Chris Hall, a former appliance technician himself and a founder of RepairClinic.com, the online resource for people looking for help fixing their appliances. "Nowadays, there are many Amana appliance problems that can be fixed by consumers, and we can provide the online advice and appliance parts they need to do the job."
Consumers can save time and money with appliance repair DIY:
If it's not obvious what's wrong with the appliance, or which Amana part is needed, RepairClinic.com can help.
