Amana Refrigerator Repair - Does Not Cool - Evaporator Fan Motor 

Our Amana was doing the same as your video, followed your disassembly, put my meter on motor plugs and we had juice. So I wiggled both spaded plugs and motor ran. Discovered broken wire at the spaded female connection, replace, reassembled and back in business. You saved me a grand at least, So Thanks a thousand times, I love RU-vid for this reason, this isn't the first time I fixed something after watching a RU-vid video. Thumbs Up

Thank you kindly for this video. I've a Kenmore Fridge that has the same issue. I am fully confident at this point after studying the present malfunctions in it, to repair it. Great video. (Thankfully this model fridge is almost exact to mine.)

The intro music makes me feel that I shall be victorious, fixing my fridge. Thanks!

Great video. I have this model Amana, that has a few upgrades, but like cars, the internals are basically the same. I had the same problem, fridge compartment slightly cool, but not ice cold like I used to have it. Turns out it was the "evaporator motor" was not working. I checked for the part on eBay, only $20 shipped. (I suspect calling a repair guy would have resulted in a $200 bill, part included. I base this on the motor shows it is $80 retail.) Anyway, what happens when the motor goes out, the fan does not blow cold air into the fridge compartment (from the freezer into the fridge). The removal and install in this video is spot on, however, what I did was test the motor and fan after I connected the wires. I did not want to put it all back together only to find out it was not working. If you do this, place the motor in an angle that the wires will not cross and short out, and also to prevent the fan blade hitting anything. Of course, if there's ice build-up clear all that out. The accumulation is usually because the fan was not distributing the air resulting in ice forming.

Thanks for the video, I took off the back panel, found the fan wasn't moving, just tapped it with the screwdriver and it fired back up... it seemed to be stuck. Cheers!

YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND WORKING IS AMAZING SIR. CONGRATULATIONS

really enjoyed the use of the turkey baster. great tip

Excellent video...thanks.

This was a well done video, Thanks

Excellent video and training.

I have an Amana side-by-side. It stopped working last night. I unplugged and plugged back and it started working again. All fans are running and compressor is fine. What could cause it to cut off, and then rest, and start back up on replug? Thanks

My fridge only fzz on that capper wire that conected to the coil what is the main problem with it am not getting any coldness the fan work well but just this little ice on the wire

I like your videos it helps slot thanks

Awesome video. Thanks so much. I am a diy person with common sense but, I have a question. If I can feel air coming out of the freezer vents, does that mean the fan is working or, just the compressor pushing air through the vents w/o the fan motor working? GOD bless and thanks again.

Just blow hot air onto the motor because it will melt the ice inside the motor that locked it up.

So should the fan be spinning as soon as the unit is plugged in? Or as long as it spins freely?

Where does the water drain to, assuming that the drain is not plugged with ice?

Replaced the hvb what code do I use to program the board if the code isn’t available?

My Fan on me GE "Fridge style like in these video" Fan works but seems slow, and I can put my finger on it while it's running and stop it without any effort, IS IT BAD?

have a similar issue, my freezer is on the bottom, the freezer is cold things are still frozen however no heat to the fridge area...the fan must not be working.I have not seen it turn on at all.

HMMMM....BESIDES THE FAn MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DEFROST CYCLE...DEFROST TIMER....THERMOSTATE.....SENSOR....heating element....accumulated dust on the condensor coils....

Great Vid thanks guy's. Now let me go and put this to the test on the Church fridge.

Dear sir hi,i have a problem with my double doer fridge the fridger working good ( upper side) but dawn side not cooling there is no fan system please give me a good solution..thank you

Hi sir pleasehelp me my fridge is on but not cooling both up n down compartment last month I called my electrician he said the fan is burnt he putted new one and fridge was working nicely but again last month after two week fridge started same problem then again my electrician man said fan is burnt so he putted new so I changed twice but now it's a third week again fridge started same not cooling at all plz can u assist me where is exact problem and why the fan burn very time please

change a light bulb on amana refrigerator bottom freezer

I'd definitely call a tech; avoid chance of electrocution! My Amana stopped cooling and shut itself down. I had noticed that the water wasn't as cold as it usually was, so something had to have worn out...

funny i just did one of these today

I wish to GOD I had seen this a few months ago, when this exact same thing happened to me, and I called a tech, ok, I am not handy, so I would have had to call the tech sooner or later, and I might have broken parts, in the process, so it might be best that I did not see this, until now

why its happening with fan or maybe my electrician making me fool just for money

those poor blue berries, all thawed out

SPEAK LOUDER, WILL YA?
