1. Defrost Timer Failure: Faulty defrost timers lead to excessive frost and disrupt the automatic defrost feature from working.

3. Electrical Failure: Amana found an electrical failure that had the potential to cause a Fire Hazard.
   
   
4. Short Circuit Risk: Upon researching issues certain models had the decision was made to recall so as to prevent possible fire hazards.

6. Wiring Defect: The wiring in question was concerned that it might create a possible fire hazard.
   

While these issues are hazards have were issues that Amana refrigerators have had before, please know that not all Amana refrigerators have these issues.

Amana Refrigerator Recalls:
Where to Start

Should you be concerned that your refrigerator is a part of a Amana refrigerator recall, here's a list of steps you can take so you can know for sure what's going on with it.

1. Check: Contact the Consumer Product Safety Commission or CPSC keeps up a database of all product recalls including those related to Amana refrigerators. You can search for the model number of your refrigerator on the website to see if it's been recalled.
   
   
2. Contact: if you are unable to find information on the CPSC website or have questions about whether refrigerator is affected by a recall go ahead and call Amana directly. In all honesty this is the only place that you will know for certain if your refrigerator has been part of a recall and if so they can tell you what else needs to be done plus give you instructions on what to do.
   
   
3. Take Action: If your refrigerator is part of a recall, then follow the instructions exactly as provided by Amana or the CPSE. This may include having your refrigerator repaired or replaced, depending on the nature of the recall. Just make sure that you don't do something different, such as hiring your own repairman to fix an issue that needs to be fixed by a certified Amana repairman. Doing something like this can quickly make your warranty and any recourse null and void.
   
   
4. Practice Safety: Whether or not your refrigerator is part of a recall it's always smart to take proper safety precautions when using and maintaining your refrigerator. These type of suggestions are similar to what you find from the manufacture recommendations on cleaning and maintenance as well as usage plus being aware of any potential hazards as electric shock or fire.

Overall it's important to take any concerns about the safety of your Amana refrigerator seriously and to take action if necessary to ensure your safety and the safety of your family.

Amana Refrigerator Recalls:
Steps to Replacing Old Fridge

If your current refrigerator has been recalled the thought of finding a new one can feel a bit overwhelming. Here are a couple of tips to help you make the right decision for you:

1. Check for Recalls: By now you're a pro at looking for recalls on refrigerators so before you buy a new fridge make sure the one you want isn’t part of a recall.
   
   The last thing you want to do is get one that has already had a recall but the good news is they (hopefully) would’ve already fixed the issue. Remember to check the CPSC website or contact the manufacturer directly.
   
   
2. What do really you want/need?: Now that you're starting all over it's important to get 100% clear on what you want and need in your next one. Start by looking at your current refrigerator. What did you love about it and what it was missing?
   
   You'll need to be able to answer questions like:
   
   -How much room do I/we need?
   
   -Do I want it to be a counter depth or deeper?
   
   -How energy efficient do I want it to be? Will I get a rebate for buying one and not another?
   
   -Which features do I really need and which ones would I absolutely love?
   These can be things like a water dispenser or ice maker (regular or special ice), or do I want a smaller door to be able to open to take out drinks? If you’re a techie do you want your fridge to be connected to the internet with a screen on the front to remind you to buy eggs or let you watch the news while you make your morning coffee. And these are just the tip of the iceberg of bells and whistles you can find.
   
   What refrigerator that fits my budget?
   While we completely understand needing to scrimp and save on your refrigerator though don’t forget that hopefully you'll keep this fridge for the next 7 to 20 years. So when you’re choosing be honest with yourself on what you want. The last thing you need is to be kicking yourself every time you go to your refrigerator for not getting that bell or whistle that you really wanted/needed
   
   
3. Read Reviews: You had to know we were going to bring this up. Try to find reviews of the refrigerator models you're considering. If you can find them they will show you it’s reliability & durable plus hopefully the real performance is like.
   
   The hardest part is finding a review is corporate entities like Consumer Reports spend a long time to come up with their reviews. While we’re so grateful that they are so meticulous with their testing, it’s very frustrating because most of the time the review is posted after the refrigerator is no longer being sold. This is why we love getting reviews from actual owners as well.
   
   When/if you find a negative reviews on a fridge remember that negative reviews are posted 10 times more often than positive ones. (When have you ever gone online to sing the praises of any appliance that did exactly what it promised?) A bad review doesn't mean the refrigerator is all bad – just that person had a bad experience. It’s in seeing many negative reviews on a fridge that we take it seriously.
   
   
4. Compare Prices: Often prices are the same across all retailers but once in a while we are surprised that they aren’t. The same refrigerator model can truly vary from retailer to retailer.
   
   Also remember to check if there are any sales on or coming soon (they often pair them with holiday weekends), or rebates that you can take advantage of. Simple things like these can help you get a great price.
   
   
5. Buy From a Reputable Retailer: Buying a refrigerator is a big purchase whether you're spending $900 or $9000. This is why you want to buy from somewhere you can trust. Having reputable customer service and support is always a plus. This way should you have any issues in the future it can make the whole experience a much easier one.

Overall, taking time to research and compare your options will help you find one that fits your needs and budget.

Amana Refrigerator Recalls:
Not Part of a Recall

There’s few things more frustrating than having a fridge that has problems that the company doesn’t have in a recall. If you find yourself in this situation with an Amana refrigerator that’s not part of any of their recalls here's what you can do:

1. Contact Amana Customer Service:
   Just because your fridge isn’t in their recalls that doesn’t mean they aren’t up to helping you. Amana’s customer service is still there to help you troubleshoot the issue to fix it and possibly find out if it can be repaired. They are there to:
   
   1) Help you figure out what the problem is over the phone
   2) Give you solutions to possibly solve it
   3) Make sure you find a certified repair person to fix it.
   
   
2. Schedule Repair Service Appointment:
   If you can't seem to get a solution over the phone with their customer service people then we recommend you schedule a repair appointment with either Amana directly or an authorized repair center. Should your refrigerator still be under warranty often Amana covers the cost of the repair.
   
   
3. Replacement Options:
   While many refrigerators are repairable, sometime the cost to fix can be quite high, close to that of a new one. Should this be the issue you're dealing with, then you may want to seriously consider replacing it and getting a new one.
   
   (Remember while you’re fixing one issue if your fridge is older there could be other issues on the horizon for this fridge.)
   
   
4. Take Proper Precautions: Until you’ve fixed or replaced your fridge you’ll want to practice safety precautions when using it. These can be anything from making sure that the food stays cold so that spoiled food won’t make anyone in your house sick to keeping flammable things away from it should there be a possible fire hazard. You’ll want to periodically check it for any kind of signs of malfunction or more possible damage.

Overall, it's essential to make sure you take care of anything going on with your refrigerator as soon as you're aware of it to keep you & your family safe.
