Compressor working but Fridge and Freezer not cooling - Amana

Amana side by side fridge model # ars266*** the compressor is working from the sound i hear but, there is no cooling in either fridge or freezer.

    So, it looks like the compressor is leaking freeon gas. So, they are recommending to change the compressor, fill it up with freeon gas and it should work fine.

    Anyone knows if this is worth it? i mean, the fridge is 5 years old....

It sounds like the same problem my brother is having with his. I took it apart and found that the fan that moves all the air for cooling is not working. This fan is behind the bottom panel in the freezer side, and sorry you do have to take everything out to get to it.

Did you check to see if the compressor is running? Did you mess with any of the wiring during your "repair"?

A amana French door fridge no fan water or.icemaker lights come on but no fan turning on or cold
Many Amana model fridges have the freezer fan wired through the bi-metal thermostat that is clipped to the evaporator. Either your compressor has a bad start device and that is why it is not cooling, or the compressor IS running and the unit has lost its refrigerant charge. Running compressor with no cooling = buy a new fridge.
Compressor hot, but not running = start relay replacement to get the compressor going. Start Device 8201786
