The freezer portion of my Amana refrigerator would not keep ice cream frozen. Then the bottom portion of the refrigerator quit cooling. Can this appliance be fixed by an amateur like me?

I already have a question on-line about my washing machine. Hope someone can help answer my questions.

I don't have an answer for you. But, by my posting a response to your question, I am hoping that one of the several fine knowledgeable in appliance repair people on this site takes notice of your question.
