A customer in East Canton called about their Amana side-by-side refrigerator that was not cooling. When we arrived at the Ravenna Avenue Northeast location, we found the evaporator fan in the freezer compartment had failed, preventing cool air circulation to the refrigerator section.
The Problem
The customer reported their refrigerator was not cooling. The freezer section was maintaining temperature, but the fresh food compartment was warm.
Diagnosis
The evaporator fan in the freezer compartment had failed. This prevented it from circulating cool air to the refrigerator.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: WPW10189703 — evaporator motor
- Work performed: Replaced the failed evaporator fan motor
- Result: After replacing it, the refrigerator is operating correctly
Is It Worth Repairing?
Amana refrigerators are reliable mid-range appliances that typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. An evaporator fan motor replacement is a straightforward repair on these models, and this 2020 repair would have been well worth doing on what was likely a 5-10 year old unit at the time.
Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators
- Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent the compressor from overworking
- Keep vents inside both compartments clear of food items to maintain proper airflow
- Replace water filters every 6 months to maintain ice maker and dispenser performance
