I am having trouble testing my thermostat for my Amana refrigerator. I have read the manual, but I’m still not sure how to do it. I’m hoping to get some advice from others who have experience with this type of refrigerator. I would appreciate any help or tips on how to test the thermostat. Is there a specific way to do it? What tools do I need? Are there any safety precautions I should take? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To test the thermostat on an Amana refrigerator, you will need to use a multimeter. First, unplug the refrigerator from the power source. Then, locate the thermostat, which is usually located behind the control panel or near the evaporator fan motor. Disconnect the wires from the thermostat and set the multimeter to the ohms setting. Touch the probes to the thermostat terminals and check the reading. The reading should be within the range listed in the refrigerator’s user manual. If the reading is not within the range, the thermostat needs to be replaced.
