What this family is
Amana ASD covers the refrigerator models in the matrix below. The matrix on this page is the definitive list for this family: three model numbers. Loss of cooling with the unit still running leads on cabinets of this kind, with drain blockage behind it.
The problems this family actually has
- The cabinet is warm while the unit is still running — A cabinet that will not get cold while the compressor keeps running. On these models that is the defrost circuit or a fan, not the refrigerant. See: Amana ASD Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-asd-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Amana ASD Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- Water under the crispers, on the floor, or ice on the freezer floor — Any water outside the drain pan. Melt water is the drain; clean water at the back with the supply live is a joint. See: Amana ASD Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-asd-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Amana ASD Refrigerator: Water Leak
- No ice, hollow cubes or a bin that fills too slowly — No ice, hollow cubes, or a bin that fills too slowly. Supply and freezer temperature account for most of it. See: Amana ASD Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: amana-amana-refrigerator-asd-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Amana ASD Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- A new rattle, chirp, roar or repeating click — Rattles at the back, chirps inside the freezer, or a hum through the floor. Location names the part before anything is opened.

The problems in frequency order
- Loss of cooling with the unit still running — The leading complaint on the ASD line. A compressor that still runs points at the air path, which is where three of the four checks live.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Second: the defrost drain carries debris through the coldest part of the cabinet, so it silts and then freezes shut.
- Ice production stopped or degraded — Third, and often an early report on the first item — production is gated on freezer temperature well above the point food suffers.
- A new or changed running noise — Fourth: two fans, the compressor mounts and the cabinet's levelling account for nearly all of it, much of it without a part.

Before you open anything
Safety
Isolate the appliance at its breaker or unplug it before any panel comes off — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. The refrigerant circuit is licensed work and is not an owner repair at any point. Empty the cabinet before moving it.
When to call a technician
The test on these models is whether the next step needs a gauge set, a meter or the freezer emptied. If it does, book a visit; oil at the compressor or a tripping breaker means today.
