Hi,
Sorry your having trouble so soon!
First thing you need to check is inside the freezer section.
The freezer fan, the fan is W10128551 and should be running
along with the main compressor. Since the freezer is working,
I would check the food on the top drawer or on the freezer door shelf.
They too might be soft..without the fan.
I would You tube 'evaporator fan motor replacement Amana bottom freezer model' Yes I know it say's Whirlpool, but your unit is really
a Amana designed unit. I would give this a difficulty of 3 out 5 wrenches.. Take your time..

SOURCE: Whirlpool Top-Mount Refrigerator Freezer warm, cracking noise

8yr old? Buy a new one. The cracking sound is from expansion and contraction of the cabinet and ice cooling or defrosting. It can be as simple as a bit of a top up of refrigerant, but can also be that your compressor has worn down the valve plates and therefore is not producing sufficient pressure throught the system.

SOURCE: Icemaker does not make ice

Sometimes an icecube gets caught up in the tray causing a 'rattling' noise when it tries to operate and also causing it to not produce ice. Lift up the lid, take out the wedged ice cube and it should start to work again.

SOURCE: Maytag French door refrigerator not cooling refrigerator.

There is a defrost coil and timer to control it, you will have to check those to see if they work, If you are unplugging it to defrost it would take hours to clear the ice.

Testimonial: "Thank you Brad - replaced the fan and cool frig!!!"

My freezer on the french door model is freezing over. All of my food has what appears to be snow. Why

warm air is somehow leaking into the freezer or a common problem with bottom mount doors is they get left open and that's what happens,check the gasket or the door was left open.

Warm Fridge Section

sounds like the evaporator fan in the freezer is not moving the air. also there is an air damper door at the top center of the fridge that controls air flow from the freezer to the fridge. check those two components and you will find your problem.

Refrigerator is not cold but freezer is still operating.

Couple things, both doing with air flow. If the fan in the lower freezer isn't working there will be no cold air moved into the upper fridge. If the defrost cycle happens to be dead then the coils down there will freeze solid and there can be no air flow over them to cool the upper area. You'll have to pull the lower drawer out and take off the interior rear panel to check these things. Hopefully it's just that the fan motor went out. It's real easy to change. Let me know what you find, if the coil is all iced up solid then there's more things you need to look into.
