Hey all.
Amana side by side, water/ice in door.
stopped cooling over both sides.
shut off. checked for ice build-up. none.
moved defrost timer manually, nothing.
Freezer side SEEMS to be slightly cool. wondering maybe a fan?
any ideas?
thanks
Michael

You should hear the compressor running. If not, then start there. If the compressor stays on for at least a few minutes, then check next that the fan in the freezer is working. If so, then is it blowing cool air. If so, check for door seal leaking warm air into the fridge.

If the fan is not blowing cool air, try cleaning the coils. Is there a chance your coils were damaged and the refrigerant leaked out?
