20 Most Recent Amana Easy Reach AFD2535DE Bottom Freezer Refrigerator - Page 9 Questions & Answers

Most are ok to pull as there is a shutoff in combination with feed lines... If in doubt and the water shutoff is convienient to get to turn it off. Otherwise just pull the filter...especially if it simply snaps into place as it should take care of turning off the water as the filter comes out....

I had the same problem when one of my kids changed the setting of the chef's pantry (full-width drawer) to higher setting and everything started freezing. The setting should be at "lowest setting". Give it a try. deborah.

you will need to check the water inlet valve in the rear of the refrigerator it is a dual valve one side for IM the other for the disp.

If this Amana has digital display at top in fridge more than likely the Jazzboard (control board) has failed. Check for votage at fan if you don't get any or some times if you do the Jazzboard can still have issues controling the evap.fan. I've found the Jazz board to go bad some times. Hit me back let me know. Jazz board is in the control box were the digital numbers light up.

Check for frost build up behind back panel. Defrost system consist of defrost timer or adaptive control board, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. check them here

The most common problem is the evaporator fan motor which is located behind the back panel of the freezer and it moves cold air up to the fridge.  You will be able to hear it when you open the freezer door.  May have to hold the light switch in the freezer shut for it to come on.  If the fan is running feel for air flow out of the vent in the top middle of the fridge section.  If you don't feel air and the fan is running then the damper motor behind that vent is bad.  All of this is assuming that there is no frost buildup on the back panel of the freezer.  If there is frost buildup then it is a defrost problem.  Let me know what you find.

If it is only the fill tube that is freezing up, or getting full of ice, than your water valve is leaking (letting drops of water thru to your ice maker and filling the icemaker fill tube up and freezing). If this is the case, replace the dual water valve (part # 1071263) located in the back of the refrigerator, just follow the water line from your wall into the refrigerator. Make sure you turn off the water to the refrigerator and also unplug it. The dual water valve is the one that has two water lines, one going to the icemaker and one going to the water dispenser. On this model, I think you only have one water valve. On some you have two, the primary water valve and a secondary water valve (the dual valve). If this is your case, I would highly recommend you replace both. As far as the Refrigerator side freezing things up, I think that is a whole different issue. Please post back.

You are right! Air is leaking in.

www3.sears.com or visit your local appliance parts store Marcone, FOX Dont forget to rate my solution as solved if I accurately answered your question...Thanks!!

George, the ice maker will cycle about every 2.5 hours. Sometimes it takes a couple cycles to prime the lines. You can remove the white cover of the ice maker. On the module you will see two ports, one marked L and another marked V on the left side. Take a insulated jumper wire and jump these two terminals. You are now sending 120V to the valve. See if the water starts coming in. Also make sure the bailing arm is down. Catriver...post back.

Sure sounds like the defrost cycle is not working. Could be a bad defrost heater, t-stat or timer.

ck here... https://www.appliancepartspros.com/repair-help/amana-refrigerator-sxd22s2w-repair/sxd22s2w-leaking.html But before throwing parts at it give their tech 877# a hollar.. Best to you

What tends to happen is that service techs have certain common generic parts in their van, and rather than ordering a part to fit and have a return visit, they fit what they have. Parts seem to be readily available. The compressor is listed but no HP Specs. The bottom show another model and that R134A (1/4HP) is different to R134 (1/5 HP). https://www.google.com/search?q=amana+arb1917csr+parts+diagram https://www.google.com/search?q=Tecumseh+TP122AR003B8 ..

Install Water Filtration Cartridge (some
models)
a. Remove bypass cartridge from water filter head in rear
right corner of refrigerator section. Twist cartridge
counterclockwise 1/4 turn and pull down to remove.
Save bypass for use at a later date.
b. See Water Filtration System Installation and
Operating Instructions provided with water filter
cartridge for filter installation and operation.

Sharla, It could possibly be the ice maker rod that tells the ice maker whether it's full or not. If it's in the down position it wants to make ice and it'll make a clicking noise. Lift the rod up if it's down. Hopefully this helps!? Best to you.

I'd like to know how you determine the age based on the info inside my Amana. I double checked the numbers. Model AFI2538AEB4 Serial KY2886165

1. Check the thermostat: Make sure the thermostat is set to a temperature that is low enough to cool the refrigerator. If the thermostat is not working properly, it may need to be replaced.
2. Check the condenser coils: The condenser coils on the back of the refrigerator should be clean and free of dust and debris. If the coils are dirty, the refrigerator will not be able to cool properly. Use a vacuum cleaner or a brush to clean the coils.
3. Check the fan motor: If the fan motor is not running, the refrigerator will not be able to cool properly. Check if the fan motor is receiving power and if it's spinning freely. If the fan motor is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
4. Check the start relay: The start relay helps the compressor start up. If the start relay is faulty, the compressor may not start and the refrigerator will not be able to cool properly. If the start relay is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
5. Check the compressor: If the compressor is not working, the refrigerator will not be able to cool properly. Check if the compressor is receiving power and if it's running. If the compressor is faulty, it will need to be replaced.

It's possible that the issue could be with a micro switch located on the ice maker cabinet that is activated when the prong on the back of the ice/auger tray is inserted. It's also possible that there could be another issue with the dispenser, such as a problem with the wiring or a malfunctioning component. I would recommend checking the wiring and testing any other micro switches or components that are related to the dispenser to see if they are functioning properly. If you are unsure how to do this, I would recommend consulting the user manual or contacting a qualified technician for further assistance.

check to see if defrost fan working

possible bad display control board
