Amana Refrigerator; Actually the Freezer Repair – Uniontown, OH (ABB2524DEW)

We responded to a freezer repair call in Uniontown where the customer reported their Amana refrigerator’s freezer wasn’t freezing while the refrigerator section still worked. They had already tried defrosting and cleaning the coils, but the problem returned with ice forming in the upper right corner.

The Problem

The customer contacted us because their freezer was not freezing but the refrigerator still worked. They had taken the panel off and saw ice in the upper right corner. After trying defrosting and cleaning the coils, it did the same thing again.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed the root cause was low refrigerant in the sealed system. When refrigerant levels drop, the evaporator can’t maintain proper temperatures throughout the entire cooling circuit, leading to inadequate freezing and ice buildup in specific areas.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Refrigerant system service
• Result: Freezer restored to proper freezing temperatures

Is It Worth Repairing?

Amana refrigerators are solid mid-range appliances that typically provide good value for repair investment. When the sealed system develops refrigerant leaks, the repair cost depends on the location and severity of the leak. For units under 10-12 years old, refrigerant system repairs are usually worthwhile given Amana’s generally reliable construction.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators

• Keep condenser coils clean every 6 months to prevent strain on the compressor and sealed system
• Check door seals regularly on Amana units as worn gaskets can cause the system to overwork
• Maintain proper clearances around the unit for adequate airflow to prevent overheating
