My Amana fridge with bottom freezer stopped working. Only thing that works is the light. A few days latter (of course after I purchased a new fridge) it came back on. It then stopped and has not come on since.

Thermostat might be stuck. My fridge stopped working recently and I hit the thermostat control a sharp blow with the handle of a soft-handled screwdriver and it started to work again.
I had to hit it several times over the next few days to keep it going until the new thermostat arrived but since it was delivered the fridge has been working normally...
Sounds like the circulating fan is either gone or is going bad. This problem is hard to diagnose because sometimes the fan will run but not fast enough to circulate the air through the freezer and refrigerator. I would have your repairman look at this or if you have the know how then you can order the fan and replace it yourself.
Hi,Your husband did good job, after cleaning and vacuuming, did freezer (bottom) have excessive ice?, if there's excessive ice in bottom, after cleaning, you have a defrost problem, but if there're no ice in freezer after cleaning, you got freon (gas leak) , there's a condensate loop, that passes through ref. body, from compressor that naturally develop, freon leak after few years, by rusting, normally it can be by- pass. vacuum and refill with freon, if there's no freezing, but compressor running, you'll need a mechanic, you got a freon leak. good luck.
There are a few things you could try. Make sure both the gasket and the area around the opening that the gasket rests on are clean dry and not iced over. Make sure your fridge is level. If those do not work you may need a new gasket. One thing is for sure it is Not normal. You could also try contactging a supervisor at A&E and explain what happened. You may have got a repairman who was having a bad day or just plain lazy! Good Luck!
ok thanks
its probably a bad relay on the compressor
