This side by side has always operated satisfactorily. We clean the coils every year. Recently, it's been acting up. The freezer will go no lower than 32 deg. and the fridge section remains about 46, no matter what the setting. Evaporator freezes up at the top by the thermostat. Heater has continuity and defrost timer is running. How do I test these three components? :confused:

Here are your parts Parts for Amana ARS2365AC / PARS2365AC0 Refrigerator - AppliancePartsPros.comSee the attachment for the tech sheet. First you have to determine what is running. Is the compressor on. Usually you can hear it but also should be able to feel it vibrating? Is the condenser/compressor fan on? Is the evaporator/freezer fan on? If on are they on all the time except when the unit goes through a defrost cycle or is it cycling more or less normally? If all are on all the time it could be: A defrost problem. Evaporator coils clogged solid with ice/frost. A sealed system problem. Frost on only one area of the evaporator coils, usually where the freon enters the coils. If cyc;ling then it could be a bad control thermostat. |
