  If your Amana Refrigerator runs continuously, try these steps: First, adjust the temperature control. Then, check the condenser and grille for dirt, and clean if necessary. Inspect the door seal and level the cabinet, adjust the hinges, or replace the gasket if it's poor. Check the interior light switch, condenser fan, and evaporator fan, replacing any faulty components. Test the control and replace if needed. Finally, a refrigerant issue may exist, so check for shortages, restrictions, or overcharge. Also check for air in the system.

  If both the freezer and refrigerator sections of your Amana Refrigerator are too warm, start by resetting the temperature controls. A poor door seal could also be the culprit, so level the cabinet, adjust the hinges, or replace the gasket. Check the condenser and grille for dirt or obstructions and clean them. A faulty control may also be the cause, so test it and replace if defective. Finally, a refrigerant shortage or restriction could be to blame; in this case, check for leaks or restrictions, repair, evacuate, and recharge the system.

If the outlet works, the service cord may be defective and needs replacement or repair. Also, check the input voltage and correct any voltage supply issues. Other potential causes include a faulty motor, freezer temperature control, timer, relay, or compressor. Inspect all connections, and replace any faulty components as needed.
