How to Troubleshoot an Amana Fridge

    Refrigerator Does Not Run

    • 1). Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged into a working outlet. Plug a small appliance into the outlet to make sure the outlet is working.

    • 2). Check the fuse or breaker box. Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped circuit breakers.

    • 3). Inspect the refrigerator controls. Turn the control knob from the "Off" position to an appropriate temperature setting.

    • 4). Allow the refrigerator to cool down. A newly installed refrigerator may take up to 24 hours to cool to the desired temperature.

    Door Will Not Close

    • 1). Move food inside the refrigerator that obstructs the door.

    • 2). Close the crisper and move bins or shelves that prevent the door from closing.

    • 3). Clean the door gaskets with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse and allow the gaskets to dry.

    Refrigerator is Too Warm

    • 1). Allow the refrigerator to cool for 24 hours after installation.

    • 2). Refrain from opening the door when it is not necessary. Clean dirty gaskets that may prevent the door from sealing properly.

    • 3). Adjust the temperature of the refrigerator to a cooler temperature setting.

    • 4). Allow the refrigerator to cool for several hours after adding large amounts of food.

    Ice Maker Does Not Function Properly

    • 1). Turn the water supply shutoff valve counter-clockwise to open it fully. Remove kinks in the water supply line.

    • 2). Turn on the ice maker. The shutoff arm or switch should be in the "On" position. Follow the manufacturer's instruction for the type of ice maker installed in the refrigerator.

    • 3). Allow 24 hours after installation for the ice maker to begin producing ice. The ice maker does not fully produce for the first 72 hours.
