Which Amana fridge do I have?
You have an Amana refrigerator identified by the model number on the model and serial tag; for this parts page, the model is ASD2625KEW. On this side-by-side style, the tag is typically inside the fresh food compartment on an interior wall or frame; confirm the exact location in the ASD2625KEW owner's manual.
Check these common spots first (use a flashlight and look for a sticker or metal plate):
- Inside the refrigerator (fresh food section) on a side wall
- On the cabinet frame around the door opening (near the gasket area)
- Behind the crisper drawers (lower fresh food area)
- Inside the freezer section on an interior wall (less common)
Write down the model number exactly as shown, then compare it to the parts listing.
- Model number: identifies the exact design series (example: ASD2625KEW)
- Serial number: identifies the production run (helps with revisions)
- Brand: Amana
- Type: side-by-side refrigerator
| What you see on the tag | What it should match | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| ASD2625KEW | Model number on this page | Ensures correct fit and wiring |
| Extra letters or digits | Suffix/version on the tag | Can change shelves, ice maker, or controls |
| Serial number | Keep for reference | Helps narrow down compatible parts |
Amana refrigerators often have multiple versions that look the same but use different parts (ice maker assemblies, light switches, door gaskets, and water system components). Matching the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong replacement.
After you confirm the tag reads ASD2625KEW, you can order model-matched parts from the list for this refrigerator, or search by model number on Sears PartsDirect.

How old is my Amana refrigerator by serial number?
For Amana model ASD2625KEW, we date the refrigerator by reading the serial number: the first 2 digits are the year it was built, and the next 2 digits are the week of that year. This tells you the manufacturing date, which is the best way to estimate age.
Most Amana side-by-side refrigerators place the model and serial tag in one of these spots:
- Inside the fresh food (refrigerator) compartment on a side wall
- On the ceiling of the fresh food compartment near the light
- Along the door frame edge (visible when the door is open)
- Occasionally behind the crisper drawers area
For location and identification details specific to your unit, check the ASD2625KEW owner's manual.
Use this simple format:
- Digits 1 to 2 = year (for example,
06= 2006) - Digits 3 to 4 = week of the year (01 through 52)
| Serial starts with | Interprets as | Approximate build date |
|---|---|---|
0615... |
Year 2006, week 15 | Mid-April 2006 |
1028... |
Year 2010, week 28 | Mid-July 2010 |
9912... |
Year 1999, week 12 | Late March 1999 |
Knowing the build week and year helps us match the right Amana refrigerator parts and revisions for your ASD2625KEW, especially for common repairs involving the ice maker, door gasket, or cooling system.
If you are troubleshooting age-related issues, these parts are often involved:
- Ice production problems: refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q
- Warm temperatures or airflow noise: evaporator motor WPW10128551
- Frost buildup or defrost failures: refrigerator defrost heater WP67004188
- Doors not sealing well: refrigerator door gasket W10840101

How tall is an Amana fridge?
Amana refrigerator height depends on the exact model and style. For your Amana ASD2625KEW side-by-side refrigerator, the exact installed height is listed in the ASD2625KEW owner's manual; measure from the floor to the top of the hinge cap when overhead clearance is tight.
Most Amana refrigerators fall into these common height ranges:
- Top-freezer models: about 65 to 67 inches tall
- Side-by-side models (like ASD2625KEW): about 65 to 71 inches tall
- French door models: about 68 to 71 inches tall
Use these steps to avoid a tight fit after the refrigerator is leveled:
- Measure the opening height in several spots (left, center, right)
- Measure the refrigerator from the floor to the top of the hinge cap (not just the cabinet)
- Plan for 1/2 inch of space at the top for air circulation
- Plan for 1/2 inch of space behind the machine compartment cover for airflow
- If the top of the refrigerator will be fully covered by cabinetry, verify clearance using the hinge-cap height
| What you are checking | What to allow | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Top clearance | 1/2 inch | Proper air circulation |
| Rear clearance | 1/2 inch | Proper airflow behind the unit |
| Hinge-side wall clearance | Extra space as needed | Allows the door to open wider |
If the opening is too short, the refrigerator can bind against cabinets after leveling, and restricted airflow can reduce cooling performance and efficiency.
If you need replacement parts while you are fitting or reinstalling the unit, you can order ASD2625KEW parts from the list on this page or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

What is the average lifespan of an Amana refrigerator?
Most Amana refrigerators, including the Amana ASD2625KEW side-by-side, typically last 10 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Keeping temperatures in range, maintaining door seals, and cleaning the condenser area are the biggest factors that help you reach the high end of that lifespan; see the ASD2625KEW owner's manual.
A refrigerator’s life is usually determined by how hard the sealed system and airflow components have to work.
- Usage and environment: hot kitchens, tight clearances, and frequent door openings shorten life
- Maintenance: dirty condenser coils and blocked airflow increase run time
- Temperature settings: running too warm can stress cooling; too cold can cause freezing issues
- Door seal condition: air leaks force longer compressor run times
- Water and ice use: heavy ice maker use can expose water supply and ice system issues sooner
Use this list to extend the service life of your ASD2625KEW.
- Keep fresh food temperatures in the 34 to 40°F range (optimum 37°F) using an appliance thermometer in a glass of water
- Avoid overcrowding shelves so air can circulate evenly
- Clean dust from the condenser area regularly (frequency depends on pets and dust)
- Inspect door gaskets for gaps, tears, or areas that do not seal flat
- Replace water filtration components on schedule if your unit uses a filter system
These symptoms often show up as a refrigerator approaches the end of its typical lifespan.
| Symptom | What it often points to | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Warm refrigerator or freezer | Airflow problem or cooling system strain | Evaporator motor WPW10128551 |
| Loud clicking, won’t start | Start device/overload issue | Refrigerator overload release W10613606 |
| Ice maker stops producing | Ice maker module or water supply issue | Refrigerator ice maker D7824706Q |
A refrigerator that is maintained and sealing properly runs fewer hours per day, which reduces wear on the compressor and helps food stay in the safe storage range described in the ASD2625KEW owner's manual.
