Amana Complaint - Slide in stove
Complaint
My three yr. old electric stove has been questionable from the start. bottom drawer won't stay in its tracks so is always lopsided and hard to open. oven door doesn't fit properly - looks as if it is open - tilted outward. the clincher was the digital display that controls the temperature won't work - replacement cost 160 bucks - stove itself was 500 - more than comparable stoves with 4 sides. why replace a part that will only last 3 more years? the handles are flimsy - the elements are skimpy and the trays under them disentegrated as well. this appliance accompanies an Amana dryer in my kitchen which quit after 5 years - small family - minimal usage. never again Sears - its no wonder this retailer is struggling.

$450-$500 is only a starting price for most ceran top stoves. I can appreciate the frustration. No one wants to purchase a new appliance after only three years; $160, however, is still less than a replacement so would not be unreasonable to pay if you were okay with the rest of the appliance.
The truth is that Whirlpool owns Amana, as well as the Maytag name. I like all the above and actually own a Maytag range myself.
If you do replace the range, see if there's a retailer that will extend the manufacturer's warranty at a reasonable price. Be careful on selecting a retailer you can trust and will be around a long time.
Best of luck and let us know what you end up doing.
