- Tell us something.: From the land beyond beyond. From the time past hope and fear. I bid you, Genie, now appear! Well, the Genie did not appear but the notification to type at least 100 characters did so I am back and typing some more as you, if anyone actually sees this, can probably tell.

We remodeled our kitchen in '05 and I obsessively researched appliances. Amana rated high at that time and that's what we bought. We've had no problems so far.The Weekenders wrote:Four years old and it dies?? Man, that sucks. I have to go home to check what Consumer Reports says about Amanas, but that would discourage me from buying one. And we are close to getting a new refer.

Amanas are highly rated by Consumer Reports. You know, this is more evidence to support this theory that's been shaping up in my head for some time now. Consumer Reports is, uh, overrated. Seriously, I can think of many, many examples of times I've gone with their recommendations and over time came to believe I could have done a lot better.The Weekenders wrote:Four years old and it dies??

This is a good sign Dale!Dale wrote:On the other hand, maybe it'll turn out to be something not hard to fix. I've got a guy with a wrench coming on Thursday.
Last time I tried to fix a fridge by myself all the gas came out and froze my face. It was very funny in a dead-pan kind of way - for a few minutes I could do a po-faced gag with that frost all over my head - "did you hear the one about the blonde suicide? - Stuck her head in the fridge."
Dunno if the wrench is going to do any good, I suppose you could wrest the wrench off of the guy and vent your ire on Amano - no?
