I have an Amana sxd23ve Side by Side fridge. I recently cleaned the coils and now it is not cooling. All the fans are running. The compressor is hot to the touch. The coils in the freezer section have almost no frost on them except for right at the input there is some frost build up.
You have a sealed system problem. There is either a small leak or a restriction somewhere in the tubing. This isn't something you could've caused so don't worry about that. Unfortunately this isn't something you can fix yourself either. You require a certified refrigeration technician to fix this problem.
The appliance repair company I work for charges between $200 and $600 depending on the severity of the problem. Check in you owners manual for your warranty information. If this fridge is less then five years old then sealed system work is usually covered under a manufactures warranty. If its older then five years I'd probably start looking for a new fridge.

Thanks for the quick response. Cna you give me a ball park figure on what a repair like this would cost? Should I be thinking about a new fridge?
FYI - the problem was a restriction in the filter. Parts and labor came to $270. If it hadn't been that, I was looking at about $900 for a new coil and compressor.
