Parts for Amana GFS227/MN02: 04 - Control Parts

The Light Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This switch is responsible for controlling the refrigerator's interior light, turning it on when the door is opened and off when it is closed.

Symptoms of a failing refrigerator light switch include:

• The interior light staying on when the refrigerator door is closed
• The light not activating when the refrigerator door is opened
• Intermittent or flickering light due to a loose connection or faulty switch

Causes of light switch failure typically involve mechanical wear from repeated use, accumulation of dirt or debris that can interfere with the switch mechanism, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

This OEM part is also compatible with other brands manufactured by Whirlpool, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and others.

The Whirlpool Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. The defrost timer regulates the automatic defrost cycle, which prevents ice buildup on the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment by sending a signal to the defrost heater to turn on and melt any ice buildup on the coils. 

Causes of a bad defrost timer can include mechanical wear over time, electrical failures, or internal component damage. Prolonged usage and voltage spikes can also affect the timer's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the set temperatures
• Unusual noises coming from the appliance 
• The appliance running continuously without cycling off

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

A lint filter or lint trap prevents clogging of the dryer vent. When a garment is tumbling around in the dryer, the high heat combined with agitation can lead to fiber shedding. The lint filter captures the fibers and prevents them from blocking the dryer vent hose. If there is too much accumulation already, the excess fibers may not stay in the filter and could flow into the hose. Installing a brand-new lint filter can solve this problem. It can promote better energy consumption, faster drying, proper airflow, and reduced fire risk. Replacement is simple and straightforward and no tools are needed. Open the dryer and access the lint filter housing. Open the cover and slide the old filter out. Insert the replacement. This SpeedQueen 61376P Lint Filter is a genuine replacement part that will work with dryers made by Amana, Kenmore, SpeedQueen, and Caloric. It has a screen and a plastic frame. This OEM SpeedQueen lint filter is sold individually. A gas valve coil kit is available but sold separately.

Original Whirlpool light bulb, 40 watt.

Symptoms of needing to replace the light bulb include:

Causes of a faulty light bulb can include normal burnout over time, electrical issues, or physical damage due to impact or vibrations.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, Frigidaire, GE, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore appliances.
