Refrigerator is cold, freezer not freezing

Coils were not cleaned on schedule.  Now they are very clean but no freezing in freezer at 7 setting.  Can compressor be replaced? Refrigerator is working fine at 5 setting.

Amana refrig have 2 main problems . 1 is the defrost bimetal ( 1" cylinder at the top right on the freezer coils with 2 wires ) and the other is a refrigerant leak where the copper tubing joins the aluminum tubing at the freezer coils ( evaporator coils ) . If your freezer fan is not working and you have frost on the freezer coils then replace the bimetal as this also controls the defrost heater ( defrost thermostat ) . If you have no frost on the coils ( for both checks , you will have to remove the inside rear freezer panel , maybe 12 screws ) , then a refrigerant leak has happened and the best solution would be to replace the refrig .

ARB2214CW freezer not cold Set At coldest over night no change to temp.

It could be to cold , sometimes the Freon coils will freeze and that will make it not be as cold so turn the freezer down all the way or un plug for a day or so to let those coils defrost then turn it up again.

GFreezer is cold, suddenly won't freeze

Hi, make sure the evap coil and the condensor coils are clean. make sure there is no ice build up on the evaporator located in the back of the freezer. It could also be a bad t-stat or low on refrigerant. Call a tech if it still does not work after you clean and make sure that both coils are clean and ice free.

My bottom refrigerator is not cold. The freezer is okay.

Check to make sure the fan in the freezer compartment is working and not blocked. This delivers the cold air to the refrigerator. The fan should run every time the freezer calls for cold.

Freezer cold but not freezing

Check the settings for the freezer control. Refrigerator temperature control normally controls the run time of the compressor. if the freezer control is set to low the refrigerator temperature will be fine and the freezer will be warmer. Setting the freezer control to a colder setting will hold back more cold air in the freezer and reduce the air volume supplied to the refrigerator. Check and make sure the condenser coil is clean.
