It may be in defrost mode. Look at the temp control on the underside for a hole with no
screw in it that appears to serve no purpose. Using a flathead screwdriver, turn the
mechanism inside the hole, (it is the defrost timer) and see if the unit comes on. If no
luck, then replace the start relay which is located under the plastic cover on the side of
the compressor. It plugs onto the compressor on three pins, if no replacement is available
they make a "universal" start kit for about 8 dollars which plugs onto these pins and has
good instructions. Model and serial number are usually inside the fresh food compartment
on the left side. The appliance parts store should have this item readily available.
Hope this helps :) remember to unplug unit before replacing any parts.

There is a strong acrid odour coming from my Amana refrigerator. This frig is 15 years old and has a top freezer.

It may be a refrigerant leak in the coil and it will stop working soon. When this happens it's time for a new box. 15 years is a good run.
A new coil could cost as much as a new frig and that's without labor cost.
I hope this helps

Cleaned behind and under the frig and now it won't work

Don't know if this a solution or not. We must have moved something or jarred something when we vacuumed inside the back. After we moved it out again, took the grill off the bottom in the front, cleaned it and put it back on, everthing seemed to work OK. We went to work that morning and when I got home in the afternoon, the freezer and fridge were both working fine.

5 year old Amana bottom freezer. No cooling because compressor not working. Technician tried a starter but it short circuited. Now fridge is off. Worth buying new compressor or a new frig? Is this a...

you can have the compressor replaced for around 500usd on the norm. that would be the most inexpensive way to go compared to a new unit , it will come with a 90 day-1 year warranty.
