Problem seems to be the compressor relay (start switch) take your Model number to nearest appliance parts sore to obtain a replacement.
Still problems, new compressor is most likely needed.

Loud humming noise (vibration) from freezer section when running. Amana refrigerator (freezer on bottom) model BC21VW

Remove the back panel and see if the fan is turning. You will need it in the running cycle with the door switch closed. The noise your hearing is probally the fan assembly AP4008960. Make sure it is mounted tight and the back panel is not rubbing or loose. If the fan is making noise with the panel removed replace.

My Amana has been making a loud buzz for a few months. We vacuumed the coils and that seemed to help a little. This morning nothing in the fridge seems cold. It's 10 yrs old. is this worth repairing?

Possible cause can be a small leak in the cooling circuit.Sometimes it happens especially in the welding points so you get no performance.It is better to change it with an efficient model as reparing the circuit is really a lot of work.

Amana bottom frezzer refrigerator

Gazzo, You are on the right track. I've been finding a lot of compressor failures on these Amana's. It's possible that the overload and relay for the compressor failed, but Im more inclined, from what I've seen, that the compressor is the problem. The compressor is covered under warranty, parts and labor for 5 years. I would call for warranty service...Catriver...post back.
