Amana Refrigerator BB20V1E Fridge too warm

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 Evaporator Fan Motor Blade is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a crucial component of the refrigerator's cooling system, attached to the evaporator fan motor to circulate air over the evaporator coils. This circulation helps distribute cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring consistent temperatures and efficient operation.

Symptoms of a bad Evaporator Fan Motor Blade include:

• Unusual noise coming from the fan area, indicating the blade may be hitting another component or is unbalanced,
• Insufficient cooling in the refrigerator or freezer compartments,
• The refrigerator running longer than usual to maintain the desired temperature.

Causes of evaporator fan motor blade failure typically include physical damage from interference with other components, wear from continuous use, or buildup of ice or debris that unbalances the blade.

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

The Relay and Overload is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. These electronic components regulate key refrigerator operations and safety measures. The relay controls the start and stop of refrigeration components like the compressor and condenser fan motor.

Symptoms of a bad relay and overload include:

• Refrigerator failing to consistently cool or maintain temperature
• Buzzing or humming noises coming from cooling areas
• Tripped circuit breakers

Causes can include defective relay contacts, a burned-out overload, or worn-out electrical components internal to either part.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore fridge models as well. 

This thermostat is a temperature-sensing switch that opens or closes an electrical circuit at a specific temperature. Replacing a failed thermostat restores accurate temperature control or over-temperature protection so the appliance operates safely and reliably. What it does:

• Senses temperature and switches its contacts to control or limit a heating or cooling circuit
• Helps maintain proper operating temperature or interrupt power if a threshold is reached
• Common symptoms of a failed thermostat: inconsistent temperatures, no heat/cool, short cycling, continuous running, or no operation due to an open circuit
• Can be checked with a multimeter for continuity change as temperature changes

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot components to cool
• Note/photograph wire positions and transfer leads to the same terminals
• Reinstall with original clip/bracket/insulation in the same position for correct sensing; do not overtighten
• After reassembly, restore power and verify proper operation

This thermostat is a temperature safety device that opens the circuit if temperatures climb beyond the safe threshold. Replacing a failed thermostat helps protect the appliance from overheating and restores normal heating performance.

• Monitors internal temperature and cuts power if it overheats
• Helps prevent damage to components from excessive heat
• Common failure signs include no heat, intermittent heat, or the unit shutting off on high heat
• Shows continuity when cool and open when tripped

• Disconnect power before service; verify no voltage is present
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Mount firmly against the intended surface for proper sensing
• After replacement, verify airflow/venting and clear lint/debris to avoid repeat trips

This evaporator fan motor assembly circulates cold air across the evaporator coil and through the refrigerator and freezer. Replacing a failing motor restores steady airflow for consistent temperatures, faster cooling recovery, and quieter, reliable operation.

• Circulates air across the evaporator and through vents to cool both compartments
• Helps maintain even temperatures and proper defrost/airflow
• Replace if you notice weak or no airflow from vents and rising refrigerator temps
• Addresses noisy, intermittent, or non-running fan from the freezer area
• Can contribute to frost buildup on the evaporator cover when airflow is lost

• Disconnect power before service; use gloves to protect against sharp edges
• Access is typically behind the freezer's rear panel; remove shelves/bins as needed
• Note wire harness orientation; transfer any screws, grommets, or brackets from the original as required
• After reassembly, restore power and ensure smooth fan operation and airflow from vents

This adaptive defrost control board manages and adjusts refrigerator defrost cycles to help prevent excess frost buildup while keeping temperatures steady. Replaces a failed control board to restore automatic defrost timing and normal cooling performance. What it does

• Monitors evap-coil and compressor run patterns to trigger appropriate defrost cycles.
• Helps reduce excessive frost on the evaporator that can cause poor cooling or compressor overwork.
• Commonly replaced when the refrigerator fails to defrost, shows persistent frost/ice buildup, or runs unusually long cycles.
• Works as the control logic for defrost sequencing and related temperature/regulation signals.

• One adaptive defrost control board

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle the board by its edges and avoid touching electronics; discharge static first if possible.
• Inspect wiring harnesses and connectors for damage before reconnecting; secure the board with original mounting hardware.
• After installation, restore power and allow the appliance to run through one full cycle to verify normal operation.
