Amana Refrigerator 1999A Fridge too warm

The Refrigerator Defrost Timer is an OEM Replacement Part designed to manage the automatic defrost system in Whirlpool freezers. Housed at the top inside of the appliance, this component shuts off the cooling system and activates the defrost heater. The timer operates at 120V 60Hz and activates for 33 minutes every 8 hours. The dial on the timer can be turned clockwise to advance it into and out of defrost.

Causes of a faulty Defrost Timer Kit can include electrical issues, mechanical wear and tear over time, or problems with the timer's internal components.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer Kit include:

• Freezer not defrosting properly, leading to excessive ice buildup
• Refrigerator running constantly or not cooling effectively
• Condensation or moisture issues inside the refrigerator
• Error codes related to the defrost system

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

This OEM Replacement Part is a high-quality, 2-watt condenser fan motor for Whirlpool refrigerators.The motor is designed to optimize your refrigerator's cooling performance. This 115-volt motor operates with a clockwise rotation.  

Symptoms of a bad condenser fan motor kit include:

• Gradual rise in interior freezer temperatures
• Inability to maintain consistent cooling performance  
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from inside
• Tripped breakers or failure to restart after service

Causes stem from normal wear of ball bearings as the high-efficiency motor operates continuously. Exposure to dust or debris introduced through openings accelerates wear over many years of use.

This OEM part is also compatible with brands including Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Danby.

The Compressor Start Relay is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component helps to kickstart the compressor, facilitating the refrigeration cycle that cools the interior of the fridge. 

Such issues can stem from electrical failures within the relay, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. When the relay does not function correctly, it can lead to inconsistent cooling and, in severe cases, cause the compressor to overheat and fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Compressor Start Relay include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly or not cooling at all
• A noticeable clicking sound emanating from the back of the refrigerator, indicating the relay is trying to start the compressor but failing
• The refrigerator starts and stops frequently, unable to maintain a constant temperature

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

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for helping the compressor motor start and run efficiently by providing an extra electrical boost. This component ensures that the refrigerator operates smoothly and maintains the correct temperature by stabilizing the compressor's performance.

Causes of a bad run capacitor can include electrical surges, age-related wear, or overheating. When the capacitor fails, the compressor may struggle to start or run continuously, leading to inefficient cooling or a non-functional refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad run capacitor include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not starting or running intermittently
• Unusual clicking noises from the refrigerator

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

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This thermostat regulates the temperature within the defrost cycle, ensuring that the defrost heater activates and deactivates at the appropriate times to prevent frost buildup on the evaporator coils.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include electrical failures, wear and tear over time, or damage from temperature fluctuations. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining proper temperature
• The defrost heater not turning on
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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

The Door Closure Kit is an OEM replacement part  for Whirlpool refrigerators. The kit includes all the necessary parts to ensure your refrigerator door closes and seals properly - including two black and two white cams used for both the door and the hinge. 

Over time, door closure mechanisms can wear down from continual opening and closing motions. The cushions compress and arms lose tension. Without a tight seal, cold air can escape raising energy costs.

Symptoms of a bad door closure kit include:

• Doors not closing or sealing fully 
• Difficulty closing doors that don't latch securely
• Noticeable cool air loss around door edges
• Frost buildup indicating air leakage

It is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This defrost heater warms the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and clear airflow. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice buildup and restores more consistent cooling performance throughout the refrigerator. What it does

• Heats the evaporator during defrost cycles to melt accumulated frost
• Keeps airflow paths clear so temperatures stay stable
• Helps prevent frost-clogged coils that reduce cooling
• Common signs of failure: heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover, weak cooling, evaporator fan hitting ice, or ice returning soon after a manual defrost

• One defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access is behind the freezer's rear evaporator cover; remove shelves/bins and the panel
• Defrost heavy ice before removal to avoid damaging the coil or insulation
• Transfer any original mounting clips/insulators and route wires exactly like the original; avoid bending the heating element
