Brand: Amana

The water supply in my house was shut down for 20 minutes, and now my ice maker in my fridge won’t work. Do I need to replace it?

The machine stopped and door is still locked and there is no power to the front panel. I’ve checked the circuit breaker and the outlet and there is power there. As I started to move the washer to work on it the power came on for a moment and displayed the (PF) code then powered off again. Which my manual says is “Electric service was lost when washer was running” Solution says to restart the cycle by pressing the cycle selector dial but as I said there is no power coming to the panel. I’m very mechanically inclined and to broke to call a repair person so I would love to do this myself if you could point me in the right direction. Any help you could provide would be awesome. Thank You!

After pushing the start button the washer acts like it’s trying to start then stops and then the lid lock LED flashes for about 5 minutes and unlocks. I’ve run it through the automatic test and it all works fine. I just got laid of and can’t afford to pay someone to fix this and can usually fix most things on my own but I’m stumped with this. I’ve tried to get the diagnostic codes but have failed everything. Not sure if I don’t understand how to get then or if it’s just not working. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

About 1.5 weeks ago our freezer section started warming up, to the point where some things were frozen and others weren’t. We cleaned things up from the vents and adjusted the settings but it got worse, to the point where it wasn’t close to freezing a couple days ago, which is when I got serious about finding what was happening.

I took the back off and found the compressor fan had an obstruction which I removed (poor mouse, I have no idea how he got in the house as we’ve never seen any before), it span right up and I figured everything would be fine after that. Things were quite warm/hot near the fan but cooled off quickly after the fan was working. The fan spins fast and has great airflow, there wasn’t much dust so I cleaned up it, put the cover back on, and left it running overnight.

The next day the freezer was barely cooler than room temperature. I removed the back panel in the freezer and found a big chunk of ice around the top/beginning of the evaporator unit (big meaning perhaps 3 inches in diameter in an oval shape), a little frost on the pipe leading to the radiator but only a little at the beginning of the radiator. I turned it off for a couple hours to let it all melt away.

After it had melted I turned it back on, a couple hours later the beginning of the radiator has a tiny bit of frost but very little actual cooling happening.

A friend who has more experience than I (and a clamp-on ammeter) checked the compressor and we can hear the relay click on and it will stay on using about 10 amps for about 10 seconds and then click off for a few minutes, repeat. Otherwise the compressor fan and evaporator fans are working fine, we just have no cooling. My friends thought is it is the compressor, perhaps locked up from getting too hot.

Any other things to try or is it time to get a new fridge? Thanks for any advice.

Hello!

My freezer door does not close well. I have to push it’s bottom to close it properly.
I think this is a problem with the door hinge.
I have attached a picture of the bottom part, This is how the part should look like? or it is broken?

Thank you very much (:

do you have a video on replacing the drive belt for this washer

I have a Amana gas dryer and the dryer won’t turn on. Every time I push the start button, it will trip my house circuit fuse. I tried plugging in a different outlet and it will trip that before I even push the stat button. I unplug the wire on the machine that spins the drum and it will also trip the fuse, (I mean with some wires unplugged and pushing the start button it will still trip the fuse). Do you have any ideas where the issue is?

Hi I have water leaking from the light of my bottom mount freezer drawer. it does not seem to be constant but there is always a build up of ice. I have been watching other videos and seems it might be a clogged drain plug. someone elese also said it could be in need of an air filter replacement. I can’t find the specific model on your site so I was wondering if you could tell me which video to watch that would have a similar model to mine. Thank you!

I checked the venting, element and thermal fuse per some other threads I found on here. Still won’t work right. What else can I look for?

Do I need to replace it?

Is there an issue with the temperatures or a part? Worried with the holiday coming, I need this working!

My Amana frig & freezer (model#ACD2234HRB) were both warm, although fan would still run. After hearing a clicking & humming sound.The information I found noted that it was more than likely a bad relay/starter/overload then compressor. So I replaced the starter relay/overload/capacitor(?), part#W10613606 . After replacing it was making the same sound and clicking on and off, also still no cooling to the freezer or frig. But after pulling out the relay to check connections, I noticed the relay/overload was hot to the touch. I don’t have a volt meter to check the compressor or parts. Bad part?

I ordered a new part, just in case it was bad. The same thing, happens hums ,clicks on and off, repeats itself. Will not get compressor running. Relay/overload is hot to touch. Don’t have a volt meter to check compressor.

i need to know how to tighten belt also my machine is AMANA but your Brand will not recognize it

Washer filled, not overloaded..won’t agitate or drain water out, when time to spin, makes a loud buzzing noise..smells electrical hot….I have replaced water pump and hub and seal, bearings, belt and brake kit in 2008

****Refrigerator is not cooling or staying cold….
I am not able to tell in frig has air /fan flowing… upper part feels warmer
freezer fan is running,
note***, Bottom freezer has had frost, back panel also appears to have ice build up in “grill” areas
Condenser Fan is running, have not checked if condenser is hot, or takin off panel but it sounds like it is running

Would really like to get a better idea the cause of problem what parts to price out to proceed.

Also I have contacted Sears, since that is where I purchased it….but my prefer a private repair person. (any suggestion?)

I have a model Amana refrigerator and the refrigerator section went warm. We do not usually service the Whirlpool product lines usually sticking with Samsung, LG and GE as we are authorized for them and have access to their literature, etc.
Can anyone assist with some service information and any tips for this model? I understand looking at an exploded view that the unit is a single evaporator model with a damper control. Is there anything common that could cause the damper to malfunction or do you think I am even looking in the right area?
