This issue is especially common in Amana bottom-freezer and side-by-side models like the ABB2224DEW. It usually means the evaporator fan, located in the freezer, has stopped working. When that fan fails, cold air can't circulate up to the fridge compartment so the freezer stays cold, but the upper section warms up. Over time, this can cause food spoilage and system imbalance. Replacing the fan motor typically resolves the issue.

Many Amana French-door refrigerators, such as the AFI2539ERM, develop ice buildup behind or beneath the bottom drawers. This is usually caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain line. Instead of draining properly, the defrosted water pools and refreezes at the bottom of the fridge. It can lead to drawer damage, stuck components, and inefficient cooling. Clearing the drain and applying a heating kit often solves this recurring issue.

A rapid clicking sound coming from the rear of the fridge is a well-known symptom in older Amana top-freezer units, especially ARS series. This typically indicates a failed start relay on the compressor it keeps trying to start the motor but fails, producing the click every few seconds. If left unattended, it can burn out the compressor entirely. Replacing the relay is a relatively low-cost repair that can restore full operation.

Side-by-side Amana refrigerators, like the ASD2522WRS, often experience leaking or overflowing ice makers. This may be due to a malfunctioning water inlet valve that sticks open, overfilling the ice tray. Another common culprit is a frozen or cracked fill tube. These leaks can cause water damage to bins and interior panels. Replacing the valve or clearing the fill line is necessary to prevent repeat incidents.

If your Amana refrigerator seems to run non-stop, even after reaching the right temperature, it could point to air leaks around the door or a malfunctioning defrost thermostat. Constant operation raises energy bills and wears out the compressor prematurely. This issue is common in older Amana bottom-freezer units with worn-out gaskets. Replacing the door seal or thermostat usually restores proper cycling.

Modern Amana models like the AFD2535DEB feature digital displays that sometimes stop responding or go dark. This could be due to a failed main control board, water intrusion, or simply a loose connection. Power cycling the unit or resetting the board may offer a temporary fix, but long-term stability often requires replacing the board or sealing components to prevent further moisture damage.

If your Amana fridge isn't making ice, even though the freezer is cold, it could be due to a frozen water inlet line or a misaligned ice level sensor. Models like the ASI2575GRS rely on electronic sensors, and when those malfunction, the ice maker shuts off for safety. You may also hear the mechanism cycle without any ice being produced. A full inspection of the valve, sensor, and line is recommended.
