As I am over 70 found it hard to reach things in my standard top freezer fridge (7-year-old GE), I bought a bottom freezer Amana refrigerator on July 08 (just over two years ago).
I liked the ease of use; however, the freezer won't shut off even set at 1 for the past month. I have tried unplugging and leaving it for 24 hrs so it would defrost, but the same thing happened.
I called the Amana appliances company, and they said to lower the setting. If that didn't work, they recommended calling a repairman, which started at $81.00! Goodness knows what the final bill would be !!!!!
This is on a 2 yr old unit!! I had a GE that was bought new, which was still working 37 years later when I sold my home, and never once did it require any service.
I think they build appliances to give problems as soon as the warranty is passed, and most times, they tell you it would be cheaper to get a new one rather than fix it.
I can't afford the fix or a new one!!
