Amana Refrigerator Repair – NORTH CANTON, OH (AFI2538AEW)

A North Canton customer called when their Amana refrigerator stopped cooling properly. Food in freezer defrosted and drinks in fridge were not cold. Our diagnosis revealed a failed compressor start device preventing the cooling system from operating.

The Problem

The customer reported that food in freezer defrosted and drinks in fridge were not cold. This indicated a complete loss of cooling throughout both compartments of their refrigerator.

Diagnosis

We found that the compressor wasn’t running. The compressor is the heart of the cooling system, and when it fails to start, the entire refrigerator loses its ability to maintain proper temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer sections.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10613606 — start device/overload
• Work performed: Replaced the start device/overload
• Result: Compressor is operating correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

Amana refrigerators are reliable mid-range appliances that typically provide good value for repair. A start device replacement is a relatively minor repair that can restore full function to an otherwise sound refrigerator. This model AFI2538AEW should continue serving well after this repair.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent compressor overwork and premature start device failure
• Keep the refrigerator level to ensure proper compressor operation and door seal
• Check door seals regularly and clean them to maintain efficient cooling and reduce compressor cycling
