Robert S Saint James City , FL January 26, 2015 Loud noise on circulation fan starting up; noise was in refer not freezer I determined that the motor that drives the damper valve that allows cold air into the refer was noisy. I ordered the replacement part from AppliancePartsPro.com. It arrived within 3 days and I changed the units out, which took about 10 minutes total. All is quiet with the refer now.

Craig V Pataskala , OH February 27, 2015 Appliance: Amana Refrigerator AFD2535FES11 Damper control motor had developed a growling noise Replace the damper control assembly. It took only about 10 minutes. However, when replacing the damper control assembly I realized how dirty my refrigerator was. This led to my removing and cleaning every shelf, rack, drawer, etc. and washing and cleaning everything. I even found a couple of science experiments going on in the refrigerator. Cleaning the inside of the refrigerator led me to clean the stainless steel surface with a stainless steel cleaner. The 15 minute repair turned into a 2 hour project, but my refrigerator is now quiet, sparkling clean, and smells like roses... as good as new!

Jeff H Warner Robins , GA October 31, 2021 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator 25 Cubic Foot 4 Door Bottom Mount WRX735SDBM00 The ice maker would randomly produce ice once every couple weeks replacement of the ice maker did not solve problem. Eventually determined that temperature in ice maker compartment was well below freezing but above the temp that the ice maker would trigger properly (about 20 deg F.). Replaced both the blower motor and air damper in the refrigerator/ice compartment which resolved the issue.. After bench testing determined that the damper worked fine but the blower motor had burned out. Actual repair was quick, less than 10 minutes, but troubleshooting took months as info was very limited and disjointed. Took multiple chat sessions with Appliance Parts Pros and online research.
