We responded to a service call in Dellroy, OH for an Amana refrigerator that wouldn’t get cold in either compartment. The customer also reported their ice maker hadn’t been working for months. Our diagnosis revealed a failed cold control thermostat that needed replacement.
The Problem
The customer contacted us because their refrigerator and freezer would not get cold. Additionally, the ice maker in the freezer had not been working for months, creating a double appliance issue that needed immediate attention.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found that the cold control had failed. This thermostat component is critical for maintaining proper temperatures in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. When it fails, the cooling system can’t cycle properly, resulting in warm temperatures throughout the unit.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10752646 thermostat, D7824706Q ice maker
- Work performed: Replaced the failed cold control thermostat and installed a new ice maker
- Result: Everything appears to be operating correctly with proper cooling restored
Is It Worth Repairing?
Amana refrigerators are generally reliable mid-range appliances that respond well to repair. A thermostat and ice maker replacement on a unit like this BRF20VSE model is typically a cost-effective repair compared to replacement costs. These components are common failure points that can give the appliance many more years of service once addressed.
Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators
- Keep condenser coils clean by vacuuming them every 6 months to prevent overheating and thermostat strain
- Replace the water filter every 6 months to maintain ice maker performance and water quality
- Check door seals regularly and clean them with warm soapy water to maintain proper temperature control
