Amana has been building solid, no-nonsense appliances since 1934. As part of the Whirlpool family, Amana shares many platforms with basic Whirlpool models — which means parts are widely available and diagnosis is fast. Kodiak's Edmonton techs service the full Amana lineup.
Amana was founded in 1934 in Amana, Iowa. The company pioneered household chest freezers and became a household name for durable, no-frills appliances. Amana is often the choice for buyers who want a straightforward appliance that just works — no touch panels, no Wi-Fi, no wine-chill compartments.
Whirlpool acquired Amana in 2001 and today Amana operates as Whirlpool's value-focused brand. Many Amana appliances share underlying platforms with basic Whirlpool models, which means parts are widely available, diagnosis is straightforward, and repairs are typically cost-effective.
Honest note from Kodiak: Amana appliances are feature-rich and well-built. Ice maker issues on certain French door fridge models are a well-documented weak point in the industry. We'll always give you a straight diagnosis before recommending a repair.
Our Edmonton technicians have seen every Amana failure mode. We’ll carry the most common parts on every truck so most repairs can be done in a single visit.
Amana dryer thermal fuses blow when airflow is restricted — usually a lint-clogged vent or a duct issue. We replace the fuse AND clear the underlying cause.
Older Amana fridges use a mechanical defrost timer that eventually fails. Frost buildup in the freezer or intermittent cooling is the classic symptom. Straightforward part replacement.
The plastic agitator dogs on Amana top-loaders wear out over years. Clothes not tumbling well? Usually a $20 part and 20 minutes of labour.
Electric range bake elements fail visibly (breaks or burns through). Straightforward element swap in 20-30 minutes.
Older Amana chest freezers commonly fail at the starting circuit. A freezer that clicks every few minutes and never gets cold is usually reporting a failed start relay or run capacitor — small parts, and among the more satisfying repairs because the machine comes straight back to life.
Amana dishwasher drain pumps are one of the more common repair items, and an inexpensive one to put right.
Washers, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, stoves and freezers — we fix them all.
You get a firm labour quote before we start. Parts shown separately on your invoice.
Labour for most Amana repairs — parts replacement or labour-only. Parts quoted separately when needed.
Applied toward your repair if you proceed. Covers diagnosis and travel.
Multi-part failures, jobs needing two people, appliances in tight or built-in spaces, and repairs where the time varies too much to flat-rate. Priced on diagnosis.
How it works: Labour is our flat rate, quoted before we start. Parts are quoted separately. Some parts take longer to source; we'll always tell you upfront.
We're based in Edmonton and know every neighbourhood. No call centre — just a local team that shows up when they say they will.
Every Kodiak job comes with liability insurance. Every part we install carries a 90-day warranty — the part and the labour to fit it. See what’s covered → Your home is protected — and so is the repair.
We quote labour as a flat rate before we start. Parts shown separately — no hidden fees, no hourly clock running while we work.
For many models yes. Amana and basic Whirlpool models share underlying platforms, so parts often interchange. This is why Amana repairs tend to be cost-effective — parts are readily available.
The basic Amana models with fewer electronic features tend to last 15-20 years with basic maintenance. The trade-off for simplicity is longevity — fewer parts to fail.
Often yes. Older Amana appliances were built to last. If a critical part is discontinued, we'll tell you upfront — but most common parts are still available.
We're an independent repair company that services sixteen brands including Amana. Post-warranty repairs are our lane. In-warranty Amana repairs should go through Whirlpool's authorized service network.
Yes. Thermostats, start relays, overload protectors, run capacitors, door seals and lid switches are all standard chest-freezer work. If a freezer clicks and won’t cool, the starting circuit is the first place we look — it is usually an inexpensive part.
We do post-warranty repairs only. If your appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, contact the brand directly to have an authorized warranty technician handle it. Once the warranty period has passed, we're happy to step in — flat-rate pricing, and a 90-day warranty on our own parts and labour.
Pick a time online and we’ll call or text to confirm it.
