Freezer won't chill beyond fridge temp

I have an Amana ABD 2533 and since last night, the freezer will not chill beyond the refrigerator's temperature. We can hear it try to turn the compressor on (loud buzz every few minutes), but then nothing happens, just a continual low hum. Any ideas for a DIY fix, or do I need to call a repair service? Thank you so much!

Amana refrigerator A4TXNWFWWO1 >top freezer, bottom fridge it's only 10 months old refrigerator won't get colder than 55 degrees freezer is working

There is something plugging the drain line in the freezer which carries water from the defrost cycle to your evap drain tray in the bottom of your fridge. The water has built up and froze plugging the flow of air from freezer to fridge.... find the line and unplug it and let fridge sit and thaw overnight and then some more.

Refrigerator compartment doesn't chill

The fridge gets its cold air from the freezer through a vent(damper) between the freezer and fridge.The fan in the freezer blows air through it. Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.

Fridge and freezer not staying cold - Got home last night and my whirlpool (frost free) fridge/freezer was switched on (power running to it - light etc working) but was not chilling properly. Everything in...

This can happen if the fan motor in the freezer compartment is bad. Causes the freezer section to freeze up and you will not get air circulating, so no cooling. Check the fanmotor

Refrigerator compressor never kicks on.

If the compressor "never kicks in," I don't see how you have having any cooling at all.

It could be a relay, or it could be the compressor. If you're lucky, it's a relay. These are cheap. In any event, it will take a diagnosis that is probably beyond the capability of a do-it-yourselfer.

Hi, my amana freezes my food in the refrigerator....
