CHECK THE COMPRESSOR SECTION WHETHER IT IS RUNNING

the probe from the temp panel is not sensing correct temp or the panel itself is bad...call a tech to check it out

Not fixed but I do not want to spend MORE money to find out what's wrong with this AMANA piece of ****. Apparently, from research on the net, the compressor or motor is not strong enough in this unit to actually do the job...but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm happy to hear them...

Check the air dampers at the bottom of the fresh food section.They may have been moved to a open position. If so close them up some.
Otherwise the cold control thermostat may need to be replaced.

The problem with the water is that the drain tube is plugged. The easiest way to fix this and to save money is to unplugg the refrigerator and leave the doors open all day. This will thaw out the drain tube without a service technician coming out. That will fix that problem. With it freezing the food on the where its not supposed, This may be a bad cold control. But try unplugging the unit for a day with the doors open and this may fix both problems. (i know it will fix the water issue)

Replace the damper assy, in the Refrigerator section. The damper door is stuck open. Very common problem on these refrigerators.

look under your refridgerator and see if there is alot of dust on the coils. Whenever food starts freezing in my fridge I vacuum the coils and the problem goes away.

if u find out let me know. when we turn both frig/freez switches off the frig light comes back on flashes to number 6. it still seems cold be like this 2-3 days the food still seems cold. good luck. jax, fl
