It sounds like you have a plugged defrost drain line. You will have to locate the line and clean it out.

you multiply how wide times how tall the inside is then multiply by 3.

You will need your serial number off the Model # tag of the Refrigerator.

Those are notorious for that because the icemaker is in the refridge compaertment which is freezing inside of it. Try to adjust your temp settings so the items will not freeze. Sometimes you will have to set your temp setting around 45 or so. Another good idea is to put a thermometer in the fridge so you know exactly wht is going on in there.

is your refridge leveled if not level it and stable. Try turn it off for a couples of hours and then put it back. does the refridge move a lot when u open it fix this refridge doesn't has to be moving when opening when on and moving this agitates the freon creates more pressure so it has a pressure switch and turns off the compressor to protect it from over or under pressure

It is possible as Amana is now owned by Whirlpool which uses "Embraco" compressors. These have had issues. Contact the factory and tell them to send a supervisor.

hi have you cleaned the matrix best done by blowing with air but a soft brush can work,make sure that all the cooling vanes are clear

Evaporator is probably overiced as a result od door not being completly closed at some time recently, turn off and defrost overnight with the doors open, turn on the next day and it should work ok within 24hrs. Regards Advisor
