Amana Refrigerator; Dishwasher Repair – North Canton, OH (ASD2624HES, MDB6600AWS)

We responded to a service call in North Canton for an Amana refrigerator with a non-functioning water and ice dispenser, plus an Amana dishwasher with a broken door handle. What looked like two straightforward repairs revealed a bigger plumbing issue with the refrigerator’s water supply.

The Problem

The customer reported that the water/ice dispenser wasn’t working on their Amana refrigerator. Additionally, the door handle had broken on their Amana dishwasher, making it difficult to open and close properly.

Diagnosis

The dishwasher repair was straightforward — the door latch assembly had failed and needed replacement. For the refrigerator, we found that the valve and water line to the fridge were corroded and obstructed, preventing water from reaching the dispenser. We also discovered the refrigerator’s filter needed replacement.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10130695 — latch with handle (black), new refrigerator filter
• Work performed: Installed new door latch assembly in dishwasher, installed new filter in refrigerator
• Result: Dishwasher door operates normally; refrigerator will need plumbing work for water dispenser function

Is It Worth Repairing?

Both of these Amana appliances are solid mid-range units worth maintaining. The dishwasher repair was complete and cost-effective. For the refrigerator, the appliance itself is fine — the water supply issue requires a plumber to install a new quarter turn valve and stainless hose, but the refrigerator will continue cooling properly regardless.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators and Dishwashers

• Replace refrigerator water filters every 6 months to prevent clogs and maintain water quality
• Check dishwasher door seals regularly and wipe clean to prevent premature latch wear
• Inspect refrigerator water lines annually for corrosion, especially in older homes with original plumbing
