Amana side by side refrigerator compressor locked up

My refrigerator is 6 1/2 years old. the freezer stopped working and a repairman said that the compressor was locked up. He also said that it would cost at least $500.00 to fix it. Any suggestion? Could a power surge cause this to happen? Thanks, Marcus

More than likely, if there were any power issues,it would be low voltage that would cause it to overheat and lock up shaft to bearing. But power surges can cause problems if they are sustained as well. Nameplate rating on these is 115 volts and it will operate up to 10% above or below that voltage (+/- 11.5 volts). But when you get to the fringe voltages for extended periods you increase the risks of failures.

My Amana 26 cu ft side by side quit cooling entirely in the freezer and the refrigerator. Is it worth it to get a repairman or should we just get a new frig. This one is 6 years old
I suggest get help with repairman.6 year old is not very old.Refrigerators have life more then 8 to 10 years.The problem can be temperature not set properly or any of fridge or freezer door not closed properly and cool air is getting leaked out. These are basic possibilities which first need to be checked. But if these possibilities are checked ok and still the problem is same, then its weak compressor issue.

Amana model SXD25QA3W. Not cooling. Compressor runs.
Low on refrigerant which is R 12. EPA has stopped the manufacture of it and it is priced out of sight.
You have a leak and will need it fixed. Compressor is about $300-400 list. You don't want to go there.
Good luck but likely 15-17 years old....... New one ???

Compressor under warranty, how much is the labor to fix it?
How old is it and is the repairman an indipendant company or the manufactuers repairman?

If its older than a year, and/or the repairman is indipendant then yes you probably will have to pay for labor.

Expect between 250 to 400 for the labor.

Some units have no labo warranty from the manufacturer.

If less than a year and the repairman is actually employed by AMANA directly and not a subcontractor or "authorized rapairman" then you may have a labor warranty.

Amana AFD2535DEW freezer/refrigerator with intermittent tempurature swings
I had the same issue. It was the relay overload which essentially provides the extra boost to get the compressor going. The switch tries for about 10 seconds before giving up and then retries 3 - 4 minutes later. In the early stages of failure, eventually it will work and the compressor will kick on. But eventually the switch will fail and will just cycle through the 10 second attempt every 3 to 4 minutes. The part is about $35 - part number 67005560.
