Amana fridge stopped working for 2 days

The refrigerator stopped working for two days (on a Friday of course!) and the freezer was just fine. There has always been a "knocking" sound that seems to come from the freezer (bottom) portion. Early Sunday morning (around 2am), there were three very loud knocks (sounds like someone knocking on a wooden table with a hard object). The next morning, the fridge was cold. Any ideas? I hate to pay $100 just to have someone come out and "look" at it... especially since it seems to be working right now. Model: Amana aff2534fe Bottom Freezer French Doors

Do you see any ice buildup on the back wall of the freezer or behind it?

If you are sure the fan in the freezer is running and you don't feel any air flow out of the top middle vent inside the fridge section, then the damper motor must be bad. The damper motor is behind that vent cover inside the fridge section.

Sounds like the circulating fan is either gone or is going bad. This problem is hard to diagnose because sometimes the fan will run but not fast enough to circulate the air through the freezer and refrigerator. I would have your repairman look at this or if you have the know how then you can order the fan and replace it yourself.

How to get my Amana fridge to stop leaking water from the freezer to the refridgerator?

These Amanda units appear prone to this problem. The fix is use of a drain kit. Your drainage spout is freezing over. The regular spillage is related to the defrost cycle of the fridge. Here is a page listing the kit:

Refrigerator will not get cold, but freezer works

Make sure your fan is working ,its located behind the freezers back wall. If it is working the vent from the freezer down to the refrigerator may be blocked (usually with ice).With out a fan you have no circulation but your freezer may look likes its working,it may last 3 days.Also if you can move everything out unplug it turn it off w/ doors open untill all traces of ice are gone this will free up any clogged tubes. Good luck.

Refrigerator will not get cold, but freezer works

Do you know if the compressor in the back is running? If you can check that out get back to me and we can go from there. Most times if the fan in the freezer is running the defrost timer is ok.
