What this family is
The AMAW line is an Amana refrigerator family, and its model list is what this page can say about it. This family covers three closely related model numbers, so the differences between them are cosmetic for this fault. Not cooling is the class these cabinets arrive with most often.
What turns up on these models, and where each is covered
- Not cooling — Food at the back is frozen while the front is warm. See the not cooling page for this family. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-amaw-refrigerator-cooling-failure-2 — Title: Amana AMAW refrigerator: not cooling
- Water leak — Beads of water inside the liner along the door edge. The water leak page for this family carries it. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-amaw-refrigerator-water-leak-2 — Title: Amana AMAW refrigerator: water leak
- Ice maker fault — The bin is empty and the maker looks untouched. Covered on this family’s ice maker fault page. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-amaw-refrigerator-ice-production-2 — Title: Amana AMAW refrigerator: ice maker fault
- Abnormal noise — A short whirr or click a few times a day. See the abnormal noise page for this family. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-amaw-refrigerator-abnormal-noise-2 — Title: Amana AMAW refrigerator: abnormal noise
Problem classes in order
- Not cooling, first here — Usual entry point: a stopped evaporator fan.
- Water leak, second here — The common opener here is condensation past a tired gasket.
- Ice maker fault, third here — Most often starts as a kinked or part-closed supply.
- Abnormal noise, fourth here — Usual entry point: a drain pan out of its rails.
- Body: An ordering, not a share — no denominator for this family exists here. The leak class sits second here rather than third: a short family ages together, and fitting faults show as water first.

What is owner work here and what is not
Everything an owner can reach on this family is in front of the rear panel: the vents and seals, the condenser, the levelling, the ice bin and the water filter. A part that fits one of these usually fits the rest; check the plate first. Behind the panel is a service call.
