The family in two sentences
The 4w9g60 family is Amana’s grouping for a long revision run of thirty-four models, and a fault on one of them is usually a fault on the rest. Temperature is the class that dominates, and it drags the leak and the ice complaints along with it more often than not.
The problems that happen here
- Runs but will not hold temperature — Warm shelves with the machine still running, often with a frost sheet behind the freezer panel.
- Water under the drawers or on the floor — A puddle under the drawers points at the drain; a wet patch at the back points at a water fitting.
- The ice maker has stopped filling the bucket — The maker cycles and produces nothing, or produces one welded block instead of cubes.
- A noise the cabinet did not used to make — Open a freezer door: a noise that stops is inside it, one that continues is behind it.
Which class leads
- Cooling — Leads here. The class that produces the other three as symptoms.
- Water — Next. Usually a drain that has silted up rather than a joint that has failed.
- Ice — Next. Usually a supply or a harvest question, not a failed module.
- Noise — Least common. The cheapest class to resolve and the one most often not a fault at all.

The shape of the fault list — No snapshot carries a component share here, so the column is a position rather than a share and no denominator is printed.

Power first
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel; a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off.
Owner work and service work
The owner-side work on this platform is a coil, a level, a drain and a shutoff arm — none of it needs a panel off.
