    Amana Freezer freezing up
    I have an Amana side by side fridge/freezer that's about 7 yrs old. The bottom of the freezer freezes up with frost which then makes my fridge not cold.

    We'll unplug it and manually defrost the freezer for about a day, then plug it back in and about a week later, start the whole process over again.

    Any suggestions about what is causing our freezer to freeze up? We cleaned under & the back coils real good, but that did nothing.

    Thanks!

    Could be defrost timer or defrost heater not working, evaporator fan not working or loss of refrigerant

Amana 80 sse [ 1 Answers ]

Can you tell me how to clean the striking unit on my furnace. Every year because of the dust that gathers, I have to pay someone to do this. One tech told me how, but I do not remember. Due to the venting of our furnace it is an ongoing issue and does not warrant the $$ of the cleaning yearly.
