Amana refrigerator issue

 

I have Amana refrigerator model SXD27NW
side by side and the problem that i have is, when you turn on the thermostat in the fridge compartment the compressor start to work and the evaporator gets cold and buildup ice and the evaporator fan is running slow
(never fast)and doesn't push air into the fridge compartment.
When i give ground to the fan it start to run fast and normal.
To mention i am electrician and i measured voltage on the board when 110 volt is pluged to outlet and thermostat is off and when it's on and the measurements are in the scatch i am sending you.
Before i send you the board to repair i would like to ask you if possible to look at the scatch and let me know if i should do some more check ups or send you the board for repair.
Please advise

Yes, we can service this part. We are able to check all of these components and replace the bad parts. This board is a pretty common repair.

It sounds like you're experiencing a problem with your Amana refrigerator model SXD27NW. Based on your description, it seems like there might be an issue with the evaporator fan and its connection to the thermostat. The fact that the fan runs slowly and doesn't push air into the fridge compartment unless you manually ground it suggests a potential electrical issue. Since you've already measured the voltage on the board and observed differences when the thermostat is on or off, it's likely a wiring or control board problem. As an electrician, you have a good understanding of electrical systems, so you may want to inspect the connections further or consider consulting with a refrigerator repair specialist to diagnose and resolve the issue efficiently.
