Signs Your Amana Fridge Freezer Needs Troubleshooting
Refrigerators preserve fragile foods but can fail over time. We diagnose issues with your Amana fridge and carry out early repairs. Common signs your fridge needs repairs include:
- Food Spoilage: If food spoils quickly, the fridge may not be at the right temperature.
- Excessive Frost: Too much frost in the freezer may indicate a faulty defrost system or door seal issue.
- Leaks: Leaking water can show issues with the defrost system, drain tube, or ice maker.
- Unusual Noises: Strange sounds like humming or clicking may signal compressor failure or other mechanical issues.
- Motor Running Constantly: If the motor runs nearly always, the fridge is overworking and not reaching the set temperature.
- Control Panel Issues: A non-responsive control panel can hinder your ability to adjust temperatures accurately and access features.
- High Energy Bills: A faulty fridge may lead to excessive energy use due to poor cooling efficiency.

Checks We Conduct for Faulty Amana Fridge Freezer
Basic Checks
- Power: Ensuring the refrigerator is plugged into a working 3-prong outlet. Use a lamp to verify functionality.
- Thermostat: Validating the thermostat is set to the desired temperature and not off.
- Door Seals: Checking for hindrances or damage. Use a dollar bill test to identify compromised seals.
- Placement: Assuring the refrigerator is not near heat sources like ovens.
- Airflow: Making sure nothing is blocking air vents or hindering airflow.
Advanced Checks
- Condenser Coils: Cleaning the condenser coils at the back of the fridge with a vacuum brush or cleaner.
- Fan Motor: Checking for any damage or blockages, and either replace a defective fan blade or use a multimeter to test continuity.
- Compressor: Examining the compressor that cools, as a faulty compressor halts refrigeration.
- Start Relay: Testing for continuity using a multimeter; a burnt smell indicates a fault.
- Start Capacitor: Using a capacitance meter to boost the compressor at start-up.
- Thermistor: Ensuring this sensor tracks temperature and transmits data to the control board, as a faulty thermistor hampers cooling.
- Control Board: Checking the main board supplying power to components.
