Amana Refrigerator Repair (Model ABB1922FEQ2) – Hartville, OH

We repaired an Amana refrigerator in Hartville that wasn’t cooling properly in the fresh food section while building up frost in the freezer. The culprit was a failed evaporator fan motor that couldn’t circulate cold air between compartments.

The Problem

The homeowner called because their fresh food compartment was warm while the freezer was working but accumulating excess frost. This is a classic sign of evaporator fan failure — the freezer coils are making cold air, but it’s not moving to the fresh food side.

Diagnosis

The evaporator fan motor had seized up completely. Without this fan running, cold air stays trapped in the freezer compartment instead of circulating through the fresh food section. The frost buildup happens because the defrost system can’t work properly when air isn’t moving across the coils.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WPW10128551 — evaporator fan motor
• Work performed: Removed freezer shelving, accessed fan assembly, installed new motor
• Result: Fan running quietly, cold air circulating to fresh food compartment

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Amana model ABB1922FEQ2 is a solid mid-range unit that’s worth repairing when the evaporator fan fails. The motor replacement is straightforward and typically gives you several more years of reliable service. These refrigerators generally hold up well with proper maintenance.

Maintenance Tips for Amana Refrigerators

• Clean the condenser coils underneath every 6 months — Amana units are particularly sensitive to dirty coils
• Replace the water filter every 6 months if equipped, as clogged filters stress the system
• Keep the evaporator fan area clear by not overpacking the freezer against the back wall
