Amana Refrigerator Repair – Canton, OH (Arb2517c)

A Canton homeowner called us about their Amana refrigerator not running despite having power, suspecting a faulty compressor. What we found was much simpler than expected — the customer had accidentally switched the temperature control off in the freezer compartment.

The Problem

The customer reported their fridge not running, has power, suspect faulty compressor. This seemed like it could be a major repair issue requiring significant parts replacement.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we discovered the customer had accidentally switched the temperature control off in the freezer compartment. The thermostat to control refrigerator operation is in the freezer compartment on the ceiling. It can be easy to bump it with a bag of ice or something in the top drawer. This would spin the knob and turn the refrigerator off, resulting in a no cool situation.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None needed
• Work performed: Turned temperature control back on
• Result: Operation is normal
