Temperature Problem - Amana (Maytag) Refrigerator... (by 5 users)

My Amana AFD2535DES French Door refrigerator has the same problem. The freezer works but there is no refrigeration. The repair person said the motor that runs the fan to cool the fridge blew out. I bought it January 2006 and it broke down 3 months later. It was still under warranty then so it didn't cost me. Now 2 1/2 yrs later, I have the same problem. This time the repairman said the part will cost $200 plus labor. I just can't afford it and I will just have to do without until I can...

Amana AFD2535DES. Same problem as described - Freezer & Ice Maker functioning as normal, but the refrigerator was warm with no cold air blowing through the vent mounted on the back wall of the refrigerator.
The Repair man replaced the Evaporator fan with Maytag Part number: 12002744 labeled as "Motor Kit - Evap Fan". To install remove freezer door (Lift), freezer baskets and un-screw the back interior wall of the freezer. The new fan motor, that is about the size of a fish-tank pump, will plug in and mount on the existing brackets.

I paid $143.20 total for the repair, $45.00 for the part, $55.00 service fee $35.00 labor + 6% tax. Looked like a simple do-it-yourself job for those who are having the same problem. Needless to say, I'm not thrilled that I had this problem on a refrigerator that is 2 years old, especially after reading on the web that this is a very common problem. Maytag/Amana won't be considered for my next appliance

Very similar problem but my model number is AFD2535DEB. Freezer is freezing just fine. No cooling air going to the fridge compartment. Damper is open. Not sure where the evaporator fan is but there is a fan on the back at the bottom which seems to run continuously....at least continuously since this problem was discovered.

Damper door is open - no ice - fan next to compressor is running - no cold air in frig part - - ?? Thanks
