Some food in the pantry tray will freeze and yesterday it was not cooling.

Here are your parts Replacement parts for AMANA ARB8057CW Ref - Bottom Mounts | AppliancePartsPros.com[COLOR="Blue"]I move dial in freezer all the way and it kicked on started cooling only to quit later in the day moved dial again this morning and it kicked back on !!!!![/COLOR] The above would be normal. If you set the temperature to colder then you would expect the compressor to come on and run till the fridge reaches the new set point. Therefore I must be misunderstanding this. I am then going to assume that the fridge was warmer than it should be and that it came on and cooled down just by turning the temperature control. Later the compressor stopped and the unit again warmed up. If my assumption above is correct then it sounds like your temperature control is sticking open and I would replace it. |

Thank you Denman Yes the refrig was warm 50degrees and when you turn it up it kicks on but it won't keep cycling to keep stead temp. It statrts to get warm again and I turn the dial back and forth till it kicks on. So the temp control in bottom freezer need replaced, what about the temp control in the refrigerator??

Looks like the one in the fresh food side is for the damper which controls the amount of cold air that enters the fresh fresh food side from the freezer.
I would just replace the temperature control thermostat since it is that one that controls your compressor on/off.
Also if you look at the wiring diagram in the parts link you will see that the evaporator fan only runs when the compressor comes on (also controlled by that thermostat) so if the compressor does not come on no cold air is blown into the fresh food side. |
