This is Pittsburgh at its steepest. The South Side Flats are a tight grid of brick rowhouses under the bluffs, the Slopes climb so sharply that some houses are reached only by public stairways, and Mount Washington looks straight down on Downtown. Across the city line, Mount Oliver sits on the hilltop, and down the Monongahela, Hazelwood, Homestead and Munhall are steel towns rebuilding on old mill land.
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 because a new Amana is inexpensive, replacement starts to beat repair sooner than it would with a costlier brand.
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 South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead: 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 South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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 South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead
Rowhouse basements with washers draining into old laundry tubs, dryers venting through stone foundations, gas ranges in kitchens that have been redone around them, rental appliances in the Flats working through one lease after another, and restaurant and bar equipment along East Carson Street.
No matter the brand, an Amana appliance in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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, often reached by steep interior stairs in the rowhouses, or by an outside door on the hillside houses.
The model number saves a trip
When a repair in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead takes two visits, it's almost always because of a part. The model number on the rating label tells us exactly which parts fit and which ones that model tends to wear out, so we can bring them the first time.
You'll usually find that label inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom panel or on the back. Snap a clear photo and attach it when you book; nothing helps us more.
When replacing makes more sense
Repair is our trade, but we tell plenty of South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead customers not to bother. Spending real money on a worn-out machine that's likely to fail again soon helps nobody, and you should hear that before you pay for anything.
We talk it through with you: how big the repair is, how old the unit is, what kind of appliance it is, and whether it's built into the cabinets. It's a call we make standing in front of it, not a formula.

Amana in South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead: 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.
Not honestly. The same symptom can come from a small part or a major one, so the technician finds the cause at your South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead address first and then gives you a price. Nothing is done until you agree, and if the repair isn't worth it, we'll tell you.
48 of them across South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead, 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 South Side, Mount Washington, Hazelwood & Homestead 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.
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.
