Amana Refrigerator AS2625PEKB Freezer section too warm

The Electronic Control Board is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This Electronic (JAZZ) Control Board manages various functions of your refrigerator, ensuring proper temperature control and operation. After installation, the board will need to be programmed. An instruction sheet is included.

Causes of a bad Electronic Control Board can include electrical surges, which can damage components on the board, age-related wear and tear affecting its functionality, and exposure to moisture or extreme temperature fluctuations. These factors can lead to a malfunctioning fridge with erratic behaviors.

Symptoms of a bad Electronic Control Board include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• Irregular defrost cycles leading to frost buildup or thawing issues
• Unresponsive controls or display issues
• The ice maker or water dispenser not working as expected

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

This refrigerator defrost thermostat senses evaporator temperature and controls power to the defrost heater. It melts frost when needed and shuts the heater off at a safe temperature to protect components and keep cooling performance steady.

• Monitors coil temperature and opens/closes the defrost heater circuit
• Terminates the defrost cycle at a safe cutoff to prevent overheating
• Helps keep the evaporator clear of ice so air can circulate
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the freezer back wall/evaporator, warm refrigerator section, fan noise from ice, long run times with little or no defrosting

• Disconnect power before service; use cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator behind the freezer rear panel and fully thaw any ice using heat-safe methods—never chip or pry
• Reinstall the thermostat in the original location with firm metal-to-metal contact on the evaporator; route and secure wiring as originally
• After reassembly, verify defrost operation and confirm unobstructed airflow
