Amana Refrigerator BB20VPSE 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 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.

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 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 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
