My Amana frigerator isn't cooling. The freezer works fine The Jazz was replaced. It worked 4 days. Fellow came manually deformed it. It worked for 9 days. Fellow came and said his best guess was replacing defrost thermostat. I can't keep paying for guesses and already have over 300.00 in a 4 or 5 year old frig. Do you have a better guess?

SOURCE: 11 year old amana bottom freezer icemaker drips water when filling tray

Hello dunc444444
Welcome,
You said, Bottom freezer works fine, but upper refrigerator has no cold air

Is your freezer so full that it is packed to the top especially in the rear?
Refrigerators and freezers share the air from the compressor and travel through vents in the rear of the freezer and fridge.
Sometimes it can effect the cooling in the fridge if the freezer articles block the vents!


The water overfilling in the ice maker is an ice maker problem only.
When we install an ice maker there is a short white plastic tube that we push through the rear
hole of the fridge which supply's the water to the maker, the outside water line attaches to this.
That tube we push through the fridge must go in till it stops. And empties in to a little sistran at the rear of the ice maker. Make sure it did not sip out or backwards a little when you may have moved
rolled the fridge out to clean under it!


Also you need periodically to remove the front grill down in front of the fridge and gently run a refrigerator brush under the coils to clean out the dust that may block air flow over the coils.(the coils are metal black tubes that run back and forth along the bottom of your fridge.
The vacuum will not reach in to that tight space. That's why they make a special brush for this chore.
Let me know how you do?

SOURCE: freezer and fridge not cooling properly

Clean it up. Check under it and behind, clean ,vacume and or blow out all dust and check the fins on the bottom, a soft brush and portable air compressor work really well but very dusty, take out side if possible, or just vacume really well.

also check defrost timer,defrost thermostat. In most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board. If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.

Your Adaptive defrost control found inside the fresh food compartment and behind the control panel where the temperature control is located is most likely the reason for the freezing up and lack of defrost. Part number 241508001 Let me know if I can help you more, Sea Breeze

Freezer coil, inside freezer compartment continues to freeze to a solid block of ice. Apparently the auto defrost isn't working. I can manually shut it down, thaw it and restart. It works fine for...

Your defrost circuit is made up of a defrost heater, defrost thermostat and a defrost timer (generally, but will depend on make and model). They are relatively straight forward to troubleshoot and replace, and not that expensive.

Suggest you go to www.searspartdirect.com and plug in the model number of your frigerator and look up the parts you need to get an idea of how much they are. NOTE: Sears isn't the cheapest place to buy the parts, but they use the real part number for further research.

Motor in the backs works lights works small fan inside the cool side is not working when pluged in problem will not cool

Hello,
the fan in the freezer is supposed to circulate the air through out the entire box both ref/freezer. If you take back wall off the freezer and their is frost build up, the compressor and all associated parts that make it cold are working fine but that fan isn't blowing the air and the fan needs to be replaced.

Where is the drain located in the amana refrigerator that empties the water into the bottom drain pan? ModelTC20E-L Amana frigerator

Good day,
In the freezer compartment, after you remove the rear panel, you will see the cooling (evaporator) coil. There is an aluminum pan directly below the coil. The drain hole would be obvious unless it is iced over, in which case you would need to melt the ice out.

It is connected to the drain hose which you can see by removing the back bottom cover of the machine that houses the compressor. If open and working properly, the hose carries the water to the drain pan which allowsit to evaporate.

If the freezer has an ice maker, it will have to be removed first. In addition any support brackets if they prevent the removal of the rear panel.

Amana French Door fridge not cooling

you have a problem here
you need to get the secondary defrost kit installed
it is not the jazz board
unless he is not programming it right aftwer install
but check your back wall for frost
if you have frost you have an airflow issue
whats happening is the door is being left ajar even a 1/16 gap is an issue
when hot air enters the unit fromn the gap it condenses on the diverter behind the freezer wall
after a few weeks it builds up enought o cause problems
there is a kit you can get that will divert electrical heat to the diverter and keep it warm enough to defrost it there by never having the issue again

Refrigerator will not get cold, but freezer works

Make sure your fan is working ,its located behind the freezers back wall. If it is working the vent from the freezer down to the refrigerator may be blocked (usually with ice).With out a fan you have no circulation but your freezer may look likes its working,it may last 3 days.Also if you can move everything out unplug it turn it off w/ doors open untill all traces of ice are gone this will free up any clogged tubes. Good luck.

Refrigerator will not get cold, but freezer works

Do you know if the compressor in the back is running? If you can check that out get back to me and we can go from there. Most times if the fan in the freezer is running the defrost timer is ok.
