West of the Ohio's bend, the West End runs from old city neighborhoods on steep hills through the leafy railroad suburbs of Crafton and Ingram and out along the Parkway toward the airport. Chartiers Creek winds through the middle of it, and in Carnegie the creek has flooded the low streets more than once, most memorably in September 2004. Further out, Green Tree, Scott and Collier are newer suburbs of split-levels, townhouses and apartment complexes.
Two things worth knowing about Amana before we arrive: because a new Amana is inexpensive, replacement starts to beat repair sooner than it would with a costlier brand; 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 West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor: 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 West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor 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 West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor
Basement laundry in older houses, including basements near Chartiers Creek that have been wet, spare refrigerators and freezers in cold garages, gas dryers on older piping, and builder-grade kitchens in the apartment and townhouse complexes of Green Tree and Scott.
No matter the brand, an Amana appliance in West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor 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 the older houses of the West End, Crafton and Carnegie, and a basement or first-floor laundry room in the newer houses and apartments.
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.
Power outages and food
After a long outage, give the refrigerator several hours to pull back down to temperature before deciding it has failed. Throw out the first batches of ice, and check that the ice maker restarted.
If a unit is still warm the next day, or a washer, dishwasher or range shows a blank display, call us with the model number. Surge damage to a board or power supply is common and often repairable.

Amana in West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor: 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.
Usually. When you book a West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor visit, list every appliance that's giving trouble, with model numbers if you have them, so we set aside enough time and bring the likely parts.
Not at all. Most repairs are done where the machine stands, and around West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor laundry is usually in the basement in the older houses of the West End, Crafton and Carnegie, and a basement or first-floor laundry room in the newer houses and apartments. If the stairs are very narrow or steep, tell us when you book so we can plan for anything that might need to come out.
Many refrigerators and some freezers are designed for a heated room, and in an unheated West End, Crafton & the Airport Corridor garage the controls may not run the compressor enough on the coldest days. The owner's manual lists the temperature range your model was built for. We'll check whether it's the location or a fault before quoting anything.
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.
