The refrigerator section gets cold by blowing cold air over from the freezer.Check to see if the fan in the freezer (evaporator fan) is running. Also check the back wall of the freezer to see you notice any frost build up.If you can see frost then the evaporator is frozen up and the frost is blocking the air flow to the refrigerator.If the evaporator is frozen up you will need to defrost the freezer and find out what part of the defrost system is not working.There are only three parts to the defrost system.1. Timer2. Heater2. Thermostat

Hello,

Sometimes, just smearing vaseline all around your gasket on your door will help to seal it. We do this as the gasket dries out a little. Also, you might check down at the bottom where the door washers, etc. are, and see if that is part of the problem. I have had both of these problems and this seems to have taken care of it.
Also note that

A huge block of ice has built up behind the back panel. This has made the back panel expand, thus making the drawers jut out too far. Like me, you may not think ice build up is the cause, since you cannot see any ice.

Action: Defrost freezer. Yes, I know its frost free, but wait an see! Take out al drawers, empty fridge and freezer and defrost overnight with doors open. The next morning, unscrew the back panel of the freezer. You will see 4 screws, 2 at the top, 2 at the bottom. These are not normal screws and are in an awkward postion at the top. Use pliers to grip and unscrew. Slide the panel forward and out. There! A massive block of ice! YOu will also see a hole at the bottom. SO that this didn't get blocked with all the water, I plugged the hole up using a ball of tissue wrapped in some plastic from a plastic bag (clingfilm would also do the trick). Use a hairdryer to melt the ice. Do not chip away at the ice as this might do damage. It took mine about 20 minutes to melt until a large block could be safely removed. Once you have dried the inside, unblock hole and screw panel back on. The drawers should now fit and the door close. I found I still needed to give my door a little help with closing it, but it did close and seal fully. All you have to do now is turn the fridge freezer back on.
But if the door gasket is bad you can change for a new , the follow is a guideline for you to replace
There are screws under the fold of the freezer door gasket that holds the brace for the gasket in place. Lift the rubber gasket to expose the screw head, one section at a time. Just loosen the screw, and do not take it completely out.
Step 2
As you loosen the screws, one section at a time, carefully remove the old gasket. At the same time, fit the new gasket into the groove. Make sure your new gasket is lined up properly.
Step 3
Continue around the freezer door, unloosening the screw, taking out the old gasket and fitting the new one in.
Step 4
Tighten the screws into place. This may have to be done once the entire gasket is fitted into place.
Step 5
Keep the gasket clean to last longer.
Check the seal by closing the door. You should have a nice, tight seal.
Hope this helps

The defroster thermostat is what usually causes a ref/freezer to act this way. It can be changed by anyone handy with tools. You refrigerator schematic should show you where it is located.

There are two possibilities. The water control valve is leaking while off or the water has air bubbles in the supply line. If you just recently changed the water filter and the air has not been completely purged this will cause a drip until the air is out. You can also remove the water line at the control valve and see if it continues to flow. Just us care by unplugging refrigerator first. Be right back with part numbers, Sea Breeze

u could always set the handle in place where it needs to be and use caulk or super glue to go around the handle and that should help it stay in place if that doesnt work the website www.amana.com to see if it has warranty for the broken handle good luck

niosy ice maker, replace it

check the flow on plastic pipes

ck here... https://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/amana-refrigerator-sxd22s2w-repair/sxd22s2w-leaking.html But before throwing parts at it give their tech 877# a hollar.. Best to you

What tends to happen is that service techs have certain common generic parts in their van, and rather than ordering a part to fit and have a return visit, they fit what they have. Parts seem to be readily available. The compressor is listed but no HP Specs. The bottom show another model and that R134A (1/4HP) is different to R134 (1/5 HP). https://www.google.com/search?q=amana+arb1917csr+parts+diagram https://www.google.com/search?q=Tecumseh+TP122AR003B8 ..

Install Water Filtration Cartridge (some
models)
a. Remove bypass cartridge from water filter head in rear
right corner of refrigerator section. Twist cartridge
counterclockwise 1/4 turn and pull down to remove.
Save bypass for use at a later date.
b. See Water Filtration System Installation and
Operating Instructions provided with water filter
cartridge for filter installation and operation.

Sharla, It could possibly be the ice maker rod that tells the ice maker whether it's full or not. If it's in the down position it wants to make ice and it'll make a clicking noise. Lift the rod up if it's down. Hopefully this helps!? Best to you.
