6-8-012 / 8:20am ET.........Update to last nights post.
I woke up this morning to water on the floor coming from the freezer ?
Opened the door and found frozen water on the door wall. I took the ice cube holder off. Noticed I could hear a noise as if it's cycling off and on. There is a fan on the top, where I vacum the dust periodically, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is this the fan that moves the air ? At thsi point, should I give up on trying to save the money and fix it myself or just bit the bullet and call the service people ? Thanks in advance for the help.

If you are willing to fix your refrigerator yourself, you have to understand it's design and location of major parts. The attached file will show it to you.

I also attached the instructions on how to run the diagnostics mode.

If you do not feel comfortable to do it then you have to call a pro.

If the coils are not frosted up then it's probably not a defrost issue. What exactly is wrong with your refrigerator?

Thanks for all your guidance. It's worth a try if I can fully understand
the directions.

Came home tonight and found the unit is colder than it was this morning and their is some ice hanging off some of the stuff in the freezer. The frig seems colder too. The blue lights at the top just flash on and off and stay off.
The 3 Beeps followed by a straight tone for a few minutes is still there. Any idea what this mean ?

The unit seems to be cycling off and on....what does this mean ?

I'll let you know how it went........Thanks, Nascarfan-24;)

Hi,

I have an Amana AFF2534FES1 over/under french door unit that has the problem of icing in the freezer causing the refrigerator to be warm. We have fixed it once using the hair dryer solution, but I can see ice forming again so it is time to fix it correctly. We called a repairman who quoted a price on replacing a logic board. It was not a happy price and I am capable of troubleshooting the problem myself so I'd like to save some money. Can you please point me to the test procedures needed to figure out what component(s) needs to be replaced please?

Thanks,

Bob Inscoe

Nascarfan-24,

I don't understand why you don't want to run the Diagnostics?

Hi Bob,

Before replacing the control board you have to check the defrost thermostat and the defrost heater (#14 & #10 at the diagram) for continuity. Replace the control board only if both of these parts are good.

- The defrost thermostat Part number: W10165425
Part number: W10165425



- The defrost heater Part number: 67002493
Part number: 67002493



- The control board Part number: 12868513
Part number: 12868513

Aloha Gene,
I sure am glad I was referred to this site-your info is great and gives me hope I may be able to fix the fridge! My fridge is a Kenmore model # 25370752404. The freezer works great and does not seem to have frost buildup on the back freezer panel. The fridge however is not cold. I would say it is somewhat cool, but not cold enough to keep things fresh. I cant tell for sure whether the fan is running because I'm not sure what to look for, although the freezer does seem to blow out cold air from vents whereas the fridge does not seem to have air blowing around at all. Here are my specific questions:
1. What do you think may be the problem?
2. I couldnt find the diagram to this fridge in order to begin my process of elimination in order to diagnose the problem following your instructions-can you locate it?
Much thanks, Wendy W.
