Amana ABB1922FEB refrigerator Parts

A bottom-mount refrigerator (like the Amana ABB1922FEB) keeps the fresh-food compartment on top and the freezer on the bottom. This layout puts everyday refrigerated items at eye level and reduces bending for the foods you use most often.

How a bottom-mount layout is different

Bottom-mount models are designed around convenience and organization.

• Fresh foods are in the upper section for easier access
• Frozen foods are stored in a pull-out lower freezer drawer
• Crispers and shelves are typically easier to reach and see
• The freezer often has baskets or dividers to separate items
• Door storage stays in the fresh-food section (where you access it most)

Pros and cons at a glance

Feature	Bottom-mount refrigerator	Top-freezer refrigerator
Fresh-food access	Easier (upper compartment)	Requires more bending
Freezer access	Lower drawer, more bending	Easier (upper freezer)
Organization	Often better freezer organization	Often simpler layout
Typical use case	Fresh food used more often	Freezer used more often

Why it matters

If you open the refrigerator section far more than the freezer, a bottom-mount design reduces daily bending and makes it easier to see and manage perishable groceries. It can also help you notice temperature or airflow issues sooner because the fresh-food area is more visible.

Parts that commonly relate to bottom-mount performance

Bottom-mount refrigerators still rely on the same core cooling and control parts. If you are troubleshooting cooling, airflow, or temperature swings on the ABB1922FEB, these parts are often involved:

• Refrigerator electronic damper WPW10196393 (controls airflow into the fresh-food section)
• Evaporator motor WPW10128551 (moves cold air through the evaporator area)
• Refrigerator temperature sensor 12002355 (helps regulate temperatures)

On your Amana ABB1922FEB bottom-mount refrigerator, a freezer door that will not close is almost always caused by a door seal (gasket) not sealing, the door being slightly out of alignment, or an internal obstruction such as an overfilled basket or a drawer that is not fully seated.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Make sure food packages are not protruding past the basket edge.
• Push the lower basket fully back into place and confirm it is sitting flat on the rails.
• Check that the freezer door closes freely without rubbing the cabinet.
• Inspect the gasket for crumbs, ice, or sticky residue along the sealing surface.
• Look for frost or ice buildup on the inside edge that can physically block closure.

Fix the most common causes

1) Gasket not sealing (most common)

Clean the gasket and the cabinet sealing surface with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry. If the gasket is warped, torn, or hardened, replacement is the reliable fix.

• For a black freezer gasket option, use refrigerator freezer door gasket (black) WPW10436247.

2) Door not aligned or not “self-closing”

Bottom-mount freezers rely on proper leveling so the door naturally swings shut the last few inches.

• Verify the refrigerator is slightly tilted back (front a bit higher than the rear).
• Re-level the unit so it is stable and does not rock.
• If the door looks uneven, check hinge mounting screws for looseness and tighten.

3) Drawer/basket interference

If the basket or slides are skewed, the door can hit the basket and bounce back open.

• Remove the basket, re-seat it, and try closing again.
• If a slide is bent or binding, replacement is often the lasting repair.

Symptom	Most likely cause	What to do
Door pops back open	Gasket not sealing or cabinet not level	Clean gasket; level fridge
Door hits something inside	Basket/drawer not seated	Re-seat basket/drawer
Door closes but leaks air (frost)	Gasket torn/warped	Replace gasket

Why it matters

A freezer door that does not fully seal lets warm, moist air in; that drives frost buildup, temperature swings, longer run times, and can lead to ice maker and cooling complaints.

Your Amana refrigerator’s model number is printed on the model and serial tag inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment. On the ABB1922FEB bottom-mount, it’s typically on an interior side wall or on the cabinet frame near the crisper area; match that tag exactly when ordering parts.

Where to look for the model and serial tag

Check these common tag locations first (use a flashlight and look for a white or silver sticker):

• Inside the refrigerator section on the left or right interior wall
• On the cabinet frame near the crisper drawers (sometimes just above the crisper cover)
• Along the door opening (hinge-side frame) in the fresh food compartment
• Behind or beside the crisper drawer area if the tag is partially hidden

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

The model number is a short code made of letters and numbers (for example, ABB1922FEB). Using the exact model number helps us match the correct parts list, wiring, and fit for items like an ice maker, control board, or door gasket.

Model vs. serial number

Item on the tag	What it tells you	When we use it
Model number	The exact refrigerator design and parts fit	Always, for parts lookup
Serial number	Production sequence and build details	Sometimes, for version changes

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

Before you shop, we recommend these quick checks:

• Copy the model number exactly, including every letter and digit
• If there’s a dash or revision code on the tag, include it when searching
• Compare your part visually before installing (connectors, mounting holes, shape)
• If you’re replacing the ice maker, confirm whether you also need the bin
• Use the parts list for ABB1922FEB first; then search by model on Sears PartsDirect if needed

Common parts customers match by model number

Once you confirm your model, these are examples of parts that must match the model tag to fit correctly:

• Refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q
• Refrigerator electronic control board WPW10503278
• Refrigerator door gasket WPW10443311

Why it matters

A single character difference in an Amana model number can change the correct evaporator fan parts, electronic damper style, or door gasket size. Verifying the tag first prevents repeat repairs and return delays.

If your Amana ABB1922FEB bottom-mount refrigerator freezer is not freezing, the most common causes are restricted airflow from frost buildup, a failed evaporator fan, a defrost system problem, or poor heat removal at the condenser. We focus first on airflow and frost patterns, then test the likely failed parts.

Quick checks we recommend first

• Confirm the freezer is set cold enough (target is 0°F; fresh food is 37°F).
• Make sure the freezer door closes tightly and the gasket is sealing.
• Listen for the evaporator fan in the freezer; it should run when the compressor is running.
• Look for heavy frost on the rear freezer panel (a strong sign of a defrost issue).
• Clean dust from the condenser area so the refrigerator can dump heat properly.

What the symptoms usually mean

What you notice	Most likely cause	What to check next
Freezer warm, fresh food also warm	Condenser airflow issue or sealed system/compressor not running right	Clean condenser; verify compressor and fans run
Freezer warm, fresh food warmer than normal	Evaporator fan not moving air	Check fan noise and airflow; inspect blade
Frost blanket on freezer back wall	Defrost problem	Check defrost thermostat and heater circuit
Freezer cold but fresh food warm	Airflow control issue between sections	Check the electronic damper

Parts that commonly fix “not freezing” on ABB1922FEB

These are model-matched parts we see tied to no-freeze or weak-freeze complaints:

• Evaporator motor WPW10128551 (if the freezer fan is not running)
• Refrigerator evaporator fan blade WP2169142 (if the motor runs but airflow is weak or the blade is damaged)
• Refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat WP67003426 (if frost buildup points to a defrost failure)
• Refrigerator electronic damper WPW10196393 (if freezer is colder than fresh food due to poor air transfer)
• Refrigerator electronic control board WPW10503278 (if cooling components are not being powered correctly)

Why it matters

A freezer that is not freezing is usually an airflow or defrost problem first. Fixing it early prevents food loss, reduces compressor run time, and helps avoid repeat icing that can block vents and stop cooling altogether.

Ordering the right replacement part

We recommend ordering using the ABB1922FEB parts list to match by model and diagram callout; you can also search by model number on Sears PartsDirect if you are comparing options.

Most Amana refrigerators, including the Amana ABB1922FEB bottom-mount style, last 10 to 15 years. Lifespan depends most on compressor health, airflow through the condenser and evaporator system, and how well the doors seal to keep temperatures stable.

What affects lifespan the most

• Condenser cleanliness: Dust-clogged coils make the compressor run hotter and longer.
• Door gasket condition: Leaks cause long run times and moisture issues.
• Evaporator fan performance: Poor airflow leads to warm spots and icing.
• Temperature control accuracy: Bad sensors or controls can overwork the cooling system.
• Ice maker and water system upkeep: Leaks or clogs can create secondary damage.

Typical lifespan by major component

Component	Typical lifespan	What you notice when it’s failing
Compressor	10 to 15 years	Warm fridge/freezer, long run times, clicking/humming issues
Evaporator fan motor	8 to 12 years	Warm fresh food section, weak airflow, unusual fan noise
Electronic control board	8 to 12 years	Erratic temps, intermittent cooling, unexplained shutoffs
Door gasket	5 to 10 years	Frost buildup, sweating around doors, temps drifting

Maintenance that extends life (high impact)

• Vacuum and brush the condenser area every 6 to 12 months.
• Keep doors closing squarely; avoid overloading door bins.
• Set temps to typical targets: 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer.
• Replace worn seals promptly; for example, a leaking gasket can be addressed with a correct-fit part like the refrigerator door gasket WPW10443311 if it matches your door color and position.
• If you use filtration, follow the steps in how to replace the water filter in an Amana refrigerator to prevent flow restrictions and off-tastes.

Why it matters

A refrigerator usually does not “wear out” all at once; it gets less efficient first. Keeping airflow clear and seals tight reduces compressor run time, which is the biggest driver of overall refrigerator life.
