I just learned something new today that this group might find interesting and may even help someone down the road. Last night my refrigerator stopped cooling and I learned that the new bottom mount refrigerators made by many manufacturers including amana use the same ADC adaptive defrost control board. I also learned that it has service menus that you can enter to execute tessts by pressing the temp control buttons.

The test functions on the control are very helpful and I'm convinced that the control board needs to be replaced and I have a repair man coming out in the morning to work on it. I considered replacing the board myself but I want my refrigerator back in a hurry and don't have his experience or parts on hand.
So now this week my pellet stove died and my refrigerator died and they say that bad things come in threes. I guess time will tell. It occurred to me that I might have been hit by a power surge causing the failures but the pellet stove is very old and has been failing on and off since I started it up this season and the fridge is ten years old so I;m not convinced. I also have a whole house surge deviceon teh load center.
Anyway go play with your fridge , it's a good thing to know about when the beer gets warm.
