Amana Refrigerator Repair – Minerva, OH (ASD2522WRBO6)

We received a service call in Minerva, OH for an Amana refrigerator that wasn’t cooling well, with the customer hearing the relay clicking on and off. Our diagnosis revealed a failed compressor with locked rotor amp draw measuring 17 amps while pulling 22 amps during operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that their refrigerator wasn’t cooling well and they could hear the relay clicking on and off. This symptom typically indicates electrical issues with the compressor system.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed that the compressor had failed. The locked rotor amp draw measured 17 amps, but the unit was pulling right at 22 amps during operation. This excessive amperage draw confirms internal compressor damage and explains the relay cycling behavior the customer was hearing.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None – compressor replacement not economically viable
• Work performed: Electrical testing and diagnosis of compressor failure
• Result: Customer advised of repair options and costs

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this 2006 Amana side-by-side refrigerator, compressor replacement typically costs more than the appliance’s current value. At 13+ years old, investing in a major repair like this usually doesn’t make financial sense, especially when other components may soon require attention.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean underneath and behind the unit to prevent compressor overheating
• Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain proper ice maker and dispenser function
• Check door seals regularly and clean with warm soapy water to maintain proper cooling efficiency
