The East End is where Pittsburgh's housing changes most from one street to the next. Lawrenceville and Bloomfield are rows of narrow brick houses built for mill and rail workers, now full of restaurants and new residents; Friendship, Highland Park and Point Breeze are big porches and three-story Victorians; Squirrel Hill mixes large houses with duplexes and apartments; and East Liberty has new apartment blocks going up beside century-old homes.
Two things worth knowing about Amana before we arrive: Amana's top-loaders and vented dryers are plain machines whose faults are usually a lid switch, a pump, a belt or a fuse; and Amana uses Whirlpool mechanics with simpler controls, so there's less electronics to fail and plenty of shared parts.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Amana: platform and parts
Amana belongs to the Whirlpool family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Is an Amana worth fixing?
Amana keeps its designs plain and affordable, which works in your favor at repair time: with so few electronics, most Amana faults we come across around East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End are a switch, pump, belt, valve or fuse, all quick to trace and modest to replace.
The downside is that a brand-new Amana is also cheap, so only the smaller repairs make financial sense. If a big part has failed on an older one, we'll usually point you toward replacing it.
Where Amana appliances sit in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End
Basement washers draining into old laundry tubs, dryers venting through rim joists and stone foundation walls, gas ranges and dryers on older piping, built-in and pro-style kitchens in renovated Squirrel Hill and Point Breeze houses, and reach-ins, ice machines and prep coolers in the restaurants along Butler Street, Penn Avenue and Liberty Avenue.
No matter the brand, an Amana appliance in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement in nearly every house, from a cramped rowhouse cellar in Lawrenceville to a full basement in Squirrel Hill, and a closet in the newer apartments.
The model number saves a trip
A photo of the rating plate does more than any description of the fault. It confirms the part numbers and the known weak points of that model, and makes a single-visit repair much more likely.
We use parts matched to the model number: the manufacturer's own where they're available, and we'll tell you when a part is an equivalent instead.
When replacing makes more sense
Some appliances have earned their retirement. When the repair would run close to half what a similar new model costs, and yours is already near the end of its expected life, putting the money toward a replacement usually makes more sense.
Built-in appliances are the exception, since replacing one means cabinet or counter work as well. We'll lay out both options and you decide.

Amana in East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
48 of them across East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End, from everyday names like Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire and Maytag to built-in and pro-style makers such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador, Miele and Viking, plus commercial equipment from True, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc and others. The brands page lists them all.
Yes, and plenty of East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End repairs work that way. The owner or manager approves by phone or email while whoever is home lets us in, and afterwards both get the same short account of what was wrong and what was done. If a building needs contractor paperwork first, send us its requirements when you book.
Give us the brand, the model number and a line about what's wrong, along with any code exactly as it shows. A photo of the rating label is better still; it's the surest way to bring the right parts to East Liberty, Squirrel Hill & the East End on the first trip.
Our first choice is the Amana part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Amana shares a parts bin with the other Whirlpool brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
That comes down to the part and the age. Pumps, valves, switches, elements, belts and fan motors are nearly always worth replacing. A dead control board or a sealed-system failure on an older machine is a harder call, and if a new one makes more sense we'll say so plainly.
