The Door Track Is Stuck on an Amana Freezer ABB2222FEQ

Bottom Mount Freezer

• The Amana ABB2222FEQ refrigerator has a bottom mount freezer, meaning that the instead of using a door at the top, you access the freezer through a drawer at the bottom. It’s a newer design for refrigerators so you won’t see it on older models. One of the benefits of this design is that it re-purposes the space in the unit, allowing the most used space in the refrigerator compartment to be at eye level.

Closed Doors Importance

• With all Amana freezers and refrigerators, it’s important to keep the doors closed as much as possible. While the company expects you to frequently open the door to access the items inside, if you leave the door open for long periods of time the cabin warms. In turn, the ABB2222FEQ’s compressor works overtime to attempt to cool it. Many temperature and motor problems in these units stem from doors left ajar.

Proper Installation

• If the door track is stuck on your Amana ABB2222FEQ, check whether the door was installed properly in the first place. Check that rails on either side of the freezer compartment are screwed in firmly and leveled. Ensure that the baskets are snapped in place and not blocking the door. Check that the door is sitting straight on the rail system.

Track Problems

• If the door is installed properly, it may be a problem with an obstruction on the track. Make sure that there isn’t any food or debris on the track preventing the freezer drawer door from sliding properly. Ice may form if the track gets wet and the liquid freezes. Wash the track with warm soapy water and dry with a soft cloth to remove ice or other debris from the track.
