The short answer
Amana ATB refrigerator is a model line whose members are listed in full in the table below — that list, and nothing beyond it, is what this page covers. A new noise or vibration is where most owners of these arrive, with not cooling or not freezing behind it.
What goes wrong on these, and where each one is covered
- A new noise or vibration — A buzz, a scrape or a rattle that comes and goes with the cooling cycle rather than running constantly.
- Not cooling or not freezing — The cabinet is warm while the compressor is clearly running, and frost builds as a sheet on the freezer back wall.
- Ice maker producing nothing — The bin stays empty, or the cubes arrive small and hollow, while the rest of the cabinet behaves normally.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Standing water under the crisper drawers, or a puddle at the front that returns after it is mopped.
Problem classes in order
- A new noise or vibration — First on this line.
- Not cooling or not freezing — Second on this line.
- Ice maker producing nothing — Third on this line.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Fourth on this line.
- Body: No snapshot here carries a rate for this line, so this list gives an order and withholds the share. Against the brand's general picture, a new noise or vibration moves up and not cooling or not freezing moves down, because of how this line is built.

| A new noise or vibration | first | not recorded |
| Not cooling or not freezing | second | not recorded |
| Ice maker producing nothing | third | not recorded |

When to call a technician
Owner work on this line stops at the first panel: seals, vents, filters, levelling, supply and loading hold on every model in the table above, and anything behind a panel is a service call on all of them. Read the build off the rating plate before ordering parts: access is shared across this line, part numbers are not.
