I have an Amana side by side. The freezer coils in the back continue to freeze up. I have taken the hair dryer to unthaw it and it freezes up again. I have also noticed that the fan in the back of the freezer is always on. It has done this 3 times before. It seems to not defrost. What part would I need to order?

Deb for Model Number ASD2624HEB

Answer Hello Deb. You will need to test the defrost heater 67004188 and the defrost thermostat 67004757. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

I have my Amana refrigerator and I changed this thermostat for another one (generic one) because I live in Venezuela. But after that the temperature in both sides are not cold enough (the ice cream is never hard). How many degrees does this original one has or how do I buy the right one for me? If you send it outside USA I'd buy it from you. Thanks in advance. Sergio

Sergio for Model Number sqd23vw

Answer Hello Sergio. R0161092 is the correct temp control. Unfortunately, we are unable to ship outside of the US at this time. We will need a US physical address to ship parts to. Thanks.

TERRI1961 for Model Number 596.50692000

Answer Hello Terri1961. There is no diagram. You will need to remove the cover in the back of the freezer. Once removed, you will see the defrost thermostat R0161088 on top of the evaporator coils. You will need to unplug the old one and remove it from the coils. Then reinstall with the new one in reverse order. Hope this helps.
