Amana ART308FFDM03 refrigerator Parts

For Amana model ART308FFDM03, we date the refrigerator by decoding the serial number on the inside wall of the fresh food compartment. On many Amana serial formats, the first 2 digits indicate the year and the next 2 digits indicate the week it was manufactured; confirm the exact location and labeling in the owner's manual.

We use the data plate inside the refrigerator compartment (fresh food section). Before decoding, write the serial number exactly as shown.

• Look on the inside wall of the refrigerator compartment
• Copy the full serial number (do not skip letters)
• Also record the model number ART308FFDM03 for reference
• If the label is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in

Many Amana refrigerators use this pattern:

If your serial number starts with 1907, that points to week 07 of 2019 (mid-February 2019).

Knowing the manufacture week and year helps us match the correct replacement parts and troubleshooting steps for your refrigerator, especially for temperature-control components like the thermistor and evaporator fan.

If you are checking age because cooling performance has changed, these model-matched parts are common suspects:

• Refrigerator thermistor WPW10383615 (temperature sensing)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315539 (air circulation)
• Refrigerator defrost heater WPW10316428 (defrost system)

To find the cubic feet (capacity) of your Amana ART308FFDM03 top-mount refrigerator, we measure the usable interior space: interior width × height × depth (in inches), then divide by 1,728 to convert cubic inches to cubic feet. Your owner's manual also helps you identify the correct compartments to measure.

1. Empty the compartment you are measuring (fresh food section and freezer).
2. Measure interior dimensions in inches:
   • Width (left wall to right wall)
   • Height (floor to ceiling of the compartment)
   • Depth (back wall to inside front edge)
3. Multiply to get cubic inches.
4. Divide by 1,728.

• Measure the fresh food and freezer sections separately, then add them.
• Measure to the inside surfaces, not the outside cabinet.
• If shelves and drawers reduce usable space, measure around them for a more realistic “usable capacity.”

Formula:

• Cubic feet = (W × H × D) ÷ 1,728

Example: 28" × 60" × 18" = 30,240 cubic inches; 30,240 ÷ 1,728 = 17.5 cubic feet.

Many refrigerators list capacity on a model and serial label inside the cabinet (often on a side wall). If you find a capacity value there, use it as the official cubic feet rating for your ART308FFDM03.

Knowing cubic feet helps us choose the right refrigerator organization solutions, estimate food storage limits, and compare efficiency and size when planning a replacement.

Yes. Amana is widely positioned as a value-focused appliance brand; for the Amana ART308FFDM03 top-mount refrigerator, that typically means straightforward features, simpler controls, and lower upfront cost compared with premium lines, while still using standard, serviceable refrigerator components.

Amana refrigerators like the ART308FFDM03 are built to cover the basics well. You usually trade advanced features for simplicity.

• Fewer “smart” or premium convenience features
• More traditional mechanical or basic electronic controls
• Standard replacement parts (fans, thermistors, gaskets) that are commonly serviced
• Lower purchase price compared with higher-tier brands
• Maintenance and setup matter a lot for long-term performance

Amana is a good fit when you want reliable everyday refrigeration without paying for extras.

If your ART308FFDM03 ever struggles to cool evenly, these are common “workhorse” parts that often get checked first:

• Refrigerator evaporator fan motor WP2315539 (moves cold air through the refrigerator and freezer)
• Refrigerator thermistor WPW10383615 (helps the control sense temperature accurately)
• Refrigerator door gasket (white) W10861499 (prevents warm air leaks that force longer run times)

For part availability beyond the list for this model, we recommend searching by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

Brand “tier” mostly affects features and price, not whether the refrigerator can cool properly. With a top-mount like the ART308FFDM03, correct temperatures, good door sealing, and clear airflow do more for day-to-day satisfaction than premium add-ons.

For model-specific operating tips, lighting information, and troubleshooting steps, use the owner's manual.

Most Amana refrigerators last 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. For your Amana ART308FFDM03 top-mount refrigerator, keeping airflow clear, seals tight, and the cooling system clean helps you reach that typical lifespan; see the ART308FFDM03 owner's manual for care and operating guidance.

A refrigerator’s life is usually determined by how hard the sealed system and airflow components have to work.

• Heat and dust around the condenser area increase run time
• Door seal leaks force longer cooling cycles and can cause frost issues
• Overpacking blocks vents and reduces airflow
• Power issues (frequent outages or surges) stress electrical components
• Skipped cleaning leads to poor efficiency and warmer temps

If cooling becomes inconsistent, these are common wear items that can shorten service life if they fail.

We recommend these habits to keep an Amana top-mount running efficiently.

• Vacuum dust from the condenser area regularly
• Keep food packages from blocking interior air vents
• Confirm doors close fully and gaskets seal all the way around
• Set stable temperatures (avoid frequent dial changes)
• Address unusual noises early (fan rubbing, rattling items, etc.)

A refrigerator that runs longer to maintain temperature uses more energy and puts extra wear on the compressor, fan motor, and defrost system. Simple upkeep helps prevent “warm fridge” complaints and premature part failures.
