Amana Troubleshooting I have a Amana model ABB2224WEB1.Purchased on 4-7-2012 at $1337.00. The bottom fills with ice. About two weeks ago we took the door off and the the back panel. Defrosted all the ice. Let it set for 24 hour and piut it back together. Now it has happened again. I see on line others have had the same issue. Any advice. We did much research before we purchased this product. We are pretty disappointed at this point.

1st Defrost unit and poor hot water into funnel if it drains your good to go.
2nd Some units have a rubber grommet on the end of the funnel located in the compressor compartment and may have to be cleaned of replaced. Unplug unit first.!!!
3rd check the drain funnel, located under the evap coil in the center bottom, back wall of the freezer could be blocked with food.

Mine was slow-to-none in ice making for a couple of years. One day for the first time I used the built in water dispenser. The long copper line feeding water was full of air gaps. After I bled that out, it has been perfect ever since.

The drain under the evaporator is frozen/plugged.  You can take the back panel inside the freezer off and run hot water down it to thaw it out completely and this will solve your problem.

SOURCE: Kenmore Refrigerator not cooling well.

you have a defrost problem there are three compontes to the defrost systems the defrost thermostat the defrost timer and the defrost heater now when you open the freezer door you should hear a fan running now bear with me on the lower left hand side of your freezer compartment around where the wheel is at the bottom of the cabinet you should see a round hole where a strange plastic screw head is turn that slowly to the right till the freezer fan stops now the timer is in defrost in your freezer compartment remove the lower panel and you will see the evaporator looks like an aluminum honey comb now you will see a heating element like in a stove that's your defrost heater and clipped on one of the tubes you will see a small dome shaped disc one wire coming from fridge one wire going to the heater element ok if you turned the defrost timer till the fan stopped and by this time the element isn't on then take the defrost thermostat out of the loop by un plugging the fridge for safety then unplug the defrost thermostat from the heater and the other side from the fridge .Plug the heater to the fridge where you unplugged the thermostat and if the heater comes on after plugging the fridge back up you have a bad defrost thermostat but for real folks the timer and thermostat usually fail close so close together i recommend just replacing them both at the same time . now while your chasing down the parts if you need to save your food can take a hair drier and after removing the back panel in the freezer melt all the ice there will work good for about 4 days before freezing again

Turn ice maker off for 24 hours to thaw out any additional frozen lines.
Make sure that you do have water from source to unit. Water valve grit screen may be clogged with debrie or water valve is bad.

1. Ice maker is not cold enough to start the ice making process.
3. having to take off the back panel is an indication of a problem in the defrost system. Call to have a service tech check this out.

Amana ice maker not working

It probably is the water valve or maybe a clogged water filter?

Amana side by side...ice maker only fills half of the tray...water is getting there but only for the first half just started a couple of weeks ago

if it worked fine and now this started most likely you have a bad water valve part number D7827204 and it's around 55 dollars.pull out the machine,remove the bottom panel and the water valve will be down on the right hand side.if you have a shop vac vac out and blow out the coil and clean all lint and dust from under the machine

Amana model #tr25vl and serial # 9701127419, ice maker valve keeps getting stuck in open position which floods freezer . This has now happened 3 times in last 2 weeks .

Good day,
One of 2 causes. The valve sticks in the open position and won't close, or the ice maker electrical circuit tells it to keep filling.

99% of the time it is a defective water valve located on the back bottom of the machine. Changing it is basically a nuts and bolts job. Fairly easy.
If however the problem resurfaces you would need to replace the ice maker but since it is common practice to install a new valve when installing a new ice maker, it's really no loss.

Looking for wiring diagram for amana bottom freezer model # BG20T2L MFG# p1316303wL serial # 9807110676 THE ICE MAKER QUIT MAKING ICE

First thing to check is the fill tube and make sure it is not frozen with ice.some ice makers can be manually advanced in order to refill with water some have a reset button to do this if these two things do no good and the fill tube is not blocked with ice then repalce the water fill valve on the bottom rear of the unit

Amana Refrigerator Model # ARB 2214 CC with leaking ice maker

Good day,
If the fill pipe that fills the ice maker is in it's proper position, then it is a defective water fill valve located in the bottom rear of the machine.
After harvesting the cubes the ice maker mechanism continues to rotate and turns the water valve on for 7 seconds. If it does not shut off smartly then it can cause the well to overfill, and flow water into the bucket.
Do not let this go. A small leak could turn into a major overflow, even overnight causing serious problems to the machine and as I have seen the entire house.
