This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Amana, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

Local Notes for Arden Hills
Most washer calls in Arden Hills come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.
