What's inside an Amana refrigerator
An Amana refrigerator is a Whirlpool design under the badge, most often a plain top-freezer or a side-by-side. In both, cold air is made at the evaporator in the freezer and pushed into the fresh-food side through a vent or damper, so when the fresh-food side warms while the freezer holds, the likely story is that the evaporator has iced over from a defrost failure or the evaporator fan has stopped. A clicking compressor that will not start points at the start relay or overload. Side-by-sides add a dispenser and a water valve. Many Amanas end up as second refrigerators in garages or basements, and a cold unheated garage in winter can confuse the controls and leave the freezer warming. The manual lists the allowed room temperature range.
Parts that tend to fail on Amana refrigerators
- Evaporator iced from defrost failure
- Evaporator fan stopped
- Compressor start relay clicking
- Door gasket torn
- Water valve leaking on side-by-sides

Amana Refrigerator: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Many refrigerators are not designed for cold rooms. When the garage is cold, the fresh-food thermostat rarely calls for cooling, so the compressor runs less and the freezer warms. Check the manual's allowed room temperature range before assuming a failure.
Not necessarily. That clicking is often the start relay or overload trying to start the compressor. Relay, overload and windings are all measured before recommending anything larger.
