Parts for Amana AFU1767AW / PAFU1767AW0: 03 - Machine Compartment And System Parts

This defrost timer controls when your refrigerator or freezer enters and exits the automatic defrost cycle to clear frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores reliable defrosting to help maintain airflow, cooling performance, and stable temperatures.

• Advances on a timed schedule to initiate and end the defrost cycle
• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns the system to cooling
• Helps prevent heavy frost buildup that restricts airflow and cooling
• Common symptoms of a bad timer: unit not defrosting or warming over time, heavy ice on the evaporator/cover, stuck running or stuck in defrost, or a timer that won't advance

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the timer (commonly in the control housing or machine compartment)
• Note/photograph wire positions and move leads one at a time to the new timer; mount securely
• Restore power and monitor for proper cycling; some models allow using the timer's advance slot to start a test defrost

This drier is the factory replacement air/gas flow assembly that helps maintain proper airflow and drying performance in compatible laundry dryers. Replacing a worn drier restores consistent drying and reduces overheating risk. What it does:

• Directs and stabilizes heated air through the drum for efficient drying
• Helps prevent restricted airflow that can cause long dry times or damp laundry
• Supports safe exhaust flow to reduce the chance of overheating or lint buildup
• Works with the dryer's heating and ventilation components to maintain normal operation

• One drier assembly as shown

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning service; if this is a gas dryer, turn off and disconnect the gas supply
• Follow the dryer manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and reassembly steps
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect venting and lint traps while replacing

This sealed-system compressor circulates refrigerant to cool your refrigerator, restoring normal cooling performance when the compressor fails. Designed to replace a failing compressor and help bring temperatures back to safe food-storage levels. What it does:

• Compresses and circulates refrigerant through the sealed refrigeration circuit
• Restores cooling when the compressor motor runs properly
• Commonly linked to symptoms like weak or no cooling, loud humming or clattering sounds, or a refrigerator that cycles continuously
• May be the cause if the appliance frequently trips a circuit breaker or shows hard-starting behavior

• Sealed-system work requires certified HVAC/refrigeration service and proper refrigerant handling per local regulations
• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; follow lockout/tagout practices
• Compressor replacement often requires system evacuation, brazing, and recharge — do not attempt unless qualified
• Use the identical replacement part number and follow OEM service instructions to avoid damage

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.

This heater is the factory heating element that supplies controlled heat for the appliance's designated cycle, helping restore consistent, reliable performance when the original element is damaged or has failed.

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the unit's specific heating function
• Common signs of failure: cycles that don't reach temperature, longer run times, or uneven results
• Visual clues can include breaks, burn marks, or hot spots on the element
• Restores designed heating performance when installed in a compatible unit

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow components to cool
• Note wire positions and mounting hardware; transfer any brackets/insulators from the original if required
• Avoid kinking the element or over-tightening mounting screws; confirm clearances from wiring and panels
• After installation, check continuity and run a brief test cycle while monitoring operation

This defrost thermostat is a bi-metal switch that senses evaporator temperature during defrost and opens to stop heater power once the coil warms. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost, reducing ice buildup and airflow-related cooling problems.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during defrost
• Opens the heater circuit at a set temperature; recloses when cold for the next defrost
• Helps protect against overheating and ensures consistent defrost operation
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator, weak airflow/warm fresh food section, repeated ice buildup after manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the thermostat at the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel
• Move wires one-for-one from the old part; mount in firm contact with the coil/tubing and secure leads away from the fan
• After installation, the thermostat should show continuity when cold and open circuit when warm
