Five refrigerators repaired in YPA

A&E Factory Service has dispatched a repairman to replace faulty components in at least five Yellowstone Place residences.

As noted in our last posting (see below), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission -- in conjunction with Maytag Corporation -- last month announced a recall of several refrigerator/freezers manufactured by Maytag and marketed under a variety of brand names. A faulty relay poses what they call "a serious fire hazard."

Dale Donat reportedly saw the announcement in a newspaper and arranged to have his unit repaired. He then shared that information with neighbors, and the A&E Factory Service representative this morning (4/27/09) told us that he has repaired five units on Yellowstone Place, so far.

If you've not yet checked to see if your refrigerator is affected by this recall, we urge you to review the information below and follow up as may be appropriate. The repair is valued at about $70, but it is performed at no charge to the owner. More importantly, it can give you a little peace of mind!
