A customer in North Canton called about their Amana refrigerator that wasn’t cooling in either the fridge or freezer compartments. When we arrived at the Fenwick Avenue Northeast home, we found a failed compressor starter that had left the entire unit without refrigeration.
The Problem
The customer reported their refrigerator was not cooling in the fridge or freezer. Both compartments had lost their ability to maintain proper temperatures, leaving food at risk of spoilage.
Diagnosis
Our inspection revealed the compressor starter had failed, preventing the compressor from running properly. We also found a damaged end cap in the refrigerator compartment where the drawer slides fasten on, which needed replacement to restore proper function.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10613606 starter device, W10874836 end cap
- Work performed: Replaced starter on compressor and replaced end cap in refrigerator compartment where the drawer slides fasten on
- Result: Refrigerator restored to proper cooling operation in both compartments
Is It Worth Repairing?
Amana refrigerators are built for reliability and longevity, making this repair worthwhile for most units. A failed compressor starter is a relatively straightforward fix that can restore years of reliable service. Given Amana’s reputation for durability, this repair should provide excellent value.
Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean to prevent compressor strain and starter failures
- Check door seals regularly to maintain proper cooling efficiency
- Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating of electrical components
