Sxd524ve wiring diagram

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

Okay, rookie ;)
Amana fridges have problem with the defrost thermostat, which you may not notice without looking at the thermostat very closely. If the plastic cover on the thermostat is swollen or is higher on one side - replace the thermostat. Fan in these fridges is connected in series with the heater and the defrost thermostat.
... And finally 127 Ohms for a 110v heating element is too high, resistance must be lower. If you measure it through the defrost thermostat - separate them and check again.

Look behind the toe plate for the tech sheet. Hopefully it was not removed with the packing materials. If it is missing try here

the fuse for the i/m is actually in the wiring harness that plugs into the icemaker. if the model is correct the icemaker goes across the back of the freezer. when you installed the icemaker on one of the wires (i think red wire) there is a black "pill" looking thing. this is the fuse. 

not going thru defrost cycle

top right hand side of the frigde side. Its the circular looking thing

just clearing this post from hte questions not answered list!

why did you turn off in the first place??? to defrost ice off back wall??? if so sounds like you ahce a bad defrost thermostat. (evaporator fan get power from runnig through thermo. and when the thermo goes bad the unit stops cooling correctly because of the massive amount of ice that buildsaround the coil

you may want to call amana and they should be able to send it out to you. Most times its free. Or maybe they can direct you to there web site and you can download the manual
