1 Answer Ron, If the fans are running but the compressor is not then you will want to check to see if there is power to the overload relay. There should be 120 vac. If there is not then this would be a control board issue W11436574 and if there is then the overload relay W11092533 would need to be replaced. Read More...
Ken January 03, 2018 for Model Number W8TXNGMWQ03 I had water droplets inside my freezer. Most of the food on the freezer was thawed. Now the unit is working ok. Didnt seem to loose much in the fresh food section of the refrigerator. Am I looking at an intermittent problem with the control board? I made sure the condenser coils where clean and the condenser fan was running, as well as the compressor. Any ideas?
1 Answer Ken, First check to make sure the doors close and seal properly, there are no articles hanging over the edges of the shelves or door bins, Check for large or several open containers with fluid(s). If the problem returns or persists, then replace the ADC(adaptive defrost control) Board. Read More...
Mark L. October 29, 2017 for Model Number A8TCNWFAW00 I have a starting issue with my Amana refrigerator. One day the refrigerator and freezer were getting warm and I bumped the door and it kicked on. I replaced the start device and capacitor and it didn't fix the problem. Would the defrost timer board cause this?
Brian T. June 21, 2017 for Model Number W8FRNGFVQ00 My refrigerator has stopped cooling in the bottom but the top freezer is still working.
1 Answer Hello Brian, This sounds like you could either have a defrost issue 4388931 or an issue with the air diffuser 2252831. Read More...
Reinell November 02, 2016 for Model Number ER8GHKXMS00 I change the thermostat but the freezer is frezing and the refrigerator begining warm in a few days.
1 Answer Hello Reinell. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the evaporator coils in the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. 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 Read More...
Bernie October 13, 2016 for Model Number ET8GTMXKQ00 My top freezer is working working fine, except I find water seeping from the top freezer to the bottom portion of the regrigerator. I think this is happening during the defrost cycle because I find water every 2-3 days. Could it be my Defrost Bimetal or Defrost Timer?

Michael T September 30, 2015 for Model Number W8TXNGMWQ03 For some reason my refrig stays in defrost mode and melts everything in freezer but will eventually come on and freeze but then melts? any thoughts what to check? Thanks, Mike Todd
1 Answer Michael, With the unit sticking in defrost then the most common cause would be the adaptive defrost board. The part number for this board is 4388931. Read More...

Mark June 03, 2014 for Model Number t8txnwfwb01 I have an Estate refridge model number as entered. The freezer works fine but the lower section will not go any lower than 50. Do you have any thoughts on what the most common problem would be. I think it would be a defrosting problem, but I have no idea where to start.
1 Answer Hello Mark. If the fan motor is working, but the back wall is frosted, then it is a defrost issue. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. 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.
