00:00:03.550 [Music] 00:00:12.73000:00:12.740 hello this is matt from a suppliant in 00:00:15.25900:00:15.269 toledo ohio welcome back to another in 00:00:17.54000:00:17.550 diagnostic video brought to you by 00:00:19.55000:00:19.560 appliance video comm 00:00:22.16000:00:22.170 what we have here is an Amana top 00:00:24.65000:00:24.660 freezer customer's complaint is that the 00:00:27.85900:00:27.869 refrigerator section is not cooling and 00:00:30.83000:00:30.840 the first thing we did and kind of 00:00:33.11000:00:33.120 listen you can hear the compressor 00:00:34.49000:00:34.500 itself is running when you open the 00:00:39.38000:00:39.390 freezer door not here in the fan motor 00:00:44.11900:00:44.129 the evaporator fan running and that's 00:00:47.03000:00:47.040 going to be what's going to pull the 00:00:48.31900:00:48.329 cold air from the freezer section down 00:00:50.56900:00:50.579 to the refrigerator you can see some of 00:00:53.60000:00:53.610 the excessive kind of moisture 00:00:57.47000:00:57.480 condensation frost that's building up 00:00:59.95900:00:59.969 and around the base here there's a lot 00:01:02.27000:01:02.280 of ice 00:01:02.95900:01:02.969 looks like the drain line might be 00:01:04.72900:01:04.739 frozen a lot of times that will happen 00:01:06.80000:01:06.810 when the evaporator fan motor ties up so 00:01:09.83000:01:09.840 we're going to take the back panel off 00:01:11.12000:01:11.130 here check power to the fan motor and 00:01:15.99900:01:16.009 confirm that that's going to be the 00:01:17.74900:01:17.759 issue but it looks like that's what 00:01:19.43000:01:19.440 we're going to be dealing with 00:01:28.43000:01:28.440 you 00:01:42.71000:01:42.720 and you can kind of like said notice 00:01:44.87000:01:44.880 that there's ice around thee this is 00:01:47.33000:01:47.340 basically your air passage that connects 00:01:49.73000:01:49.740 the refrigerator and freezer and there's 00:01:52.73000:01:52.740 ice all around here so it's going to be 00:01:54.56000:01:54.570 kind of tough to get this panel off and 00:01:56.15000:01:56.160 that's usually a pretty good indication 00:01:58.25000:01:58.260 that the evaporator fan motor is stalled 00:02:02.65000:02:02.660 a shelf here and we've got two quarters 00:02:13.57000:02:13.580 on the back panel and we're gonna take 00:02:20.21000:02:20.220 the one out for the icemaker cover make 00:02:24.77000:02:24.780 sure see there that's gotta be 00:02:31.16000:02:31.170 disconnected then the tab back just tabs 00:02:35.57000:02:35.580 on each side that would just be a 00:02:38.33000:02:38.340 harness for an icemaker grab right here 00:02:44.93000:02:44.940 and pull straight back you got this 00:02:50.24000:02:50.250 whole kind of hard and you got a ground 00:02:52.69900:02:52.709 wire that's connected up in this top 00:02:54.53000:02:54.540 left hand corner and we've got just a 00:02:56.75000:02:56.760 ground wire that's holding the panel 00:02:58.22000:02:58.230 right now let's kind of reach behind and 00:03:02.71000:03:02.720 pull that off the panel there alright 00:03:09.56000:03:09.570 well right now like I said the 00:03:11.27000:03:11.280 compressor is running and the easy way 00:03:14.44900:03:14.459 to check on a fan motor is just try it 00:03:16.85000:03:16.860 spin it and that should spin very freely 00:03:21.62000:03:21.630 I should be able that let's get it going 00:03:25.28000:03:25.290 this fan motor is definitely tied up so 00:03:29.42000:03:29.430 we will need to replace the evaporator 00:03:31.34000:03:31.350 fan okay before we go any further you're 00:03:34.40000:03:34.410 just gonna go ahead and unplug the unit 00:03:40.94000:03:40.950 because we have confirmed the evaporator 00:03:43.35000:03:43.360 fan motor is bad okay to remove the 00:03:46.71000:03:46.720 evaporator fan so we've got two screws 00:03:51.30000:03:51.310 here that are holding the mounting 00:03:53.10000:03:53.110 bracket and you just kind of have to 00:03:55.89000:03:55.900 unweave this wiring it's sort of strung 00:03:59.64000:03:59.650 up through here 00:04:04.36900:04:04.379 these are quarter-inch you look and see 00:04:14.91000:04:14.920 how the wiring is sort of weaved up 00:04:16.83000:04:16.840 around there 00:04:29.24000:04:29.25000:04:34.00000:04:34.010 once you have all that free the only 00:04:37.49000:04:37.500 thing that's holding the two power 00:04:40.19000:04:40.200 connectors and the ground wire good 00:04:44.48000:04:44.490 connections are just kind of hard to get 00:04:45.77000:04:45.780 off so we grab a pair of needlenose just 00:04:48.62000:04:48.630 get a good grip on them and as far as 00:05:02.18000:05:02.190 your two power wires are concerned 00:05:05.53000:05:05.540 obviously your ground terminals a little 00:05:08.06000:05:08.070 bit smaller the new fan might not even 00:05:10.46000:05:10.470 have a ground like that but yeah doesn't 00:05:13.70000:05:13.710 matter no white in the red because one's 00:05:16.61000:05:16.620 just line voltage and the other ones 00:05:18.08000:05:18.090 neutral so to mix them up and put them 00:05:20.69000:05:20.700 in different order it doesn't make a 00:05:22.01000:05:22.020 difference 00:05:30.77000:05:30.78000:09:09.07900:09:09.08900:14:00.03000:14:00.040 thank you for watching another quality 00:14:02.04000:14:02.050 video from appliance video comm 00:14:04.05000:14:04.060
