Why won’t my Amana fridge/freezer cool down?
I woke up today with my Amana freezer totally thawed and fridge and freezer both around 50 F.
A few were ago I was annoyed at the temp of my freezer so I changed a dial in the back to “Min” thinking that would make it as cold as possible. Apparently the dial is actually an air flow controller so I effectively dropped the freezer to minimal air flow, diverting it to the fridge.
Later that week some of my fridge items were frozen solid - like a full 2L carton of almond milk. I dropped the fridge temp from 3/5 to 2/5.
Fast forward to now. I’ve returned the settings to normal and am waiting but am now optimistic that it will be running normally after.
The coils in the back are not dusty. Obviously nothing is iced up since my whole freezer melted. Compressor in the back is hot to the touch but the coils running up the back are room temp.
Fridge was made in 2019 so it’s not set old. Any idea what it could be?

Hi,
What is the model number of the refrigerator?
Is the condenser fan, near the compressor operating?
Can you hear if the evaporator fan in the freezer compartment is running?
It will run as long as the compressor is running (it is running i.e. feel vibrations of motor and not just hot?) and the doors (both) are shut. Opening and closing a door may help you to hear it stop and start.

Model is ART316TFDWO1
I don’t seem to have a fan near my compressor.
I feel air spilling out in the freezer so it seems to be running, though it’s not very cold.
My freezer doesn’t have a light and I don’t think it has a door “trigger” like the fridge. The compressor is vibrating though and very toasty.
