amana fridge replacement
#21

Well I have worked on my Amana fridge. Think I got it working good again. According to some notes scribbled on the back of the fridge the compressor and cooling unit were replaced. So I found that the fans for the fridge are going out, there is more to this story by the way. I replaced both the internal fan that blows air from the freezer to the fridge portion, and also the condensor fan that pulls the heat out the bottom. So I have had issues with water coming out of the fridge when we are traveling. So I pulled the fridge back out and noticed that the drain was not working for the evaporator core. It was overflowing and running out the door. Think this has been a problem since they replaced the cooling unit, it has rotted the cabinet front off the door below the fridge. The other reason I think it happened when the cooling unit was replaced because I ended up blowing out a rusty screw out of the drain tube, same screw that was missing for the metal cover that goes over the evap in the freezer section. That did the trick and now water is flowing into the drain pain under the fridge as it’s supposed to. I am sure I will eventually need to replace the fridge but for now it’s working great. 
Oh yea, the rest of the story is that I believe the inverter is not doing these motors any favors. We ran the ceiling fan while dry camping and the fan motor was not happy running on the inverter, I would gather it’s a modified sine inverter based on the growl. I think this is also not doing any favors for the fans or the compressor motor on the fridge, so I will be upgrading the inverter at some point to a true sine inverter. 

Here is the fan motor I made work for the freezer section, was not an exact match but was able to make it work:

Here is the fan motor for the condenser found under the fridge in the back, this was an exact fit:
