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?

The ice maker door was clicking. I put a new HV circuit board in the back of the fridge and that stopped the ice maker noise. Now the front panel is flashing PE0000. The compressor sounds like it is always running. The front will let me dispense water, but nothing else. It will not respond to any button trying to reprogram it. I tried the Door alarm button and held it for a while and nothing. tried the Water button and held it for a while and nothing. When I push the + Or – on the refrigerator side the display will show ICE or H20 in the display. but nothing else will respond.

My Bottom Freezer refrigerator stopped cooling a few weeks ago. I checked the compressor compartment and the fan is still running. The compressor relay and capacitor tested OK (resistance btwn 5-10). The compressor also checks out OK. I tested the defrost timer (turning clockwise) and that does not seem to be the problem either. I then opened up the freezer compartment and tested the temperature control thermostat. I tested resistance while it was OFF…and no reading as expected. The tested it ON and it made sound, indicating a connection…so this was also tested OK. The final test I did was to test the Defrost Thermostat. I disconnected it and placed it into a cup of ice cold water for a few minutes and tested the resistance again (Ohms). The ohmmeter should sound (resistance) when I tested it in the cold water, but no sound, and no reading, indicating an issue. I did the test numerous times and same result. Lastly, today, while the defrost thermostat was unplugged and I had the refrigerator open (ice tray disconnected, defrost thermostat disconnected), I plugged the refrigerator into the outlet and the compressor came on and it started to freeze again. My question is this, could a bad defrost timer prevent the compressor from starting, even though my freezer didn’t have a froze over problem? I searched all over the web and all advice pointed to a bad relay or temperature control thermostat. But both (all) of these tested OK. I ordered a defrost timer because I concluded it was bad anyway. I unplugged the refrigerator again and left it off. Again, what else am I missing here?

Your response is kindly appreciated.

Regards

How do you know if these componet didn’t short out parts on the mother board? Where wold you start. Replace all the components under the machine first then try to operate and if doesn’t work replace the control board.

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.

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.

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?

Hello,
We recently went out to an Amana washer, and the unit diagnosed itself as a speed sensor. From there, we are a little at a loss. One of our senior technicians believes it is a shift actuator.
Can you please advise as to what we should check, and how we test the shift actuator to see if it’s good?

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.

****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?)

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!

The display board on this unit will randomly lose power and go blank. If you try and use any features (water or ice) it just beeps. All lights work in the unit on inside, however, the freezer section will not stay as cold as it should. when I’ve been there, all fans are working and compressor running. If you unplug the unit for about 5 minutes, the refrigerator will run fine for about a week. I’m thinking main board, any input would be great!

My Amana refrigerator is not cooling properly. It has a frost build up and the defrost heater has continuity. The little ball switch seems to be poped out . What is that switch on the evaporator.

I can feel the air coming out of the vents in my house, however the air coming out does not ever seem to cool the house down to what I have set on the thermostat. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
