Default Amana refrige freezer cold top warm

I have the Amana B220Z bottom freezer refigertator. It's about three
years old. The freezer works fine but the top box is warm. Seen this
problem in the group before but didn't see a solution. Any clues?
Amana's repairman can't come for five days unless you got another
thirty bucks.

Air flow problems.

Do good work.
It's longer in the short run
but shorter in the long run.

Hi,

Model# won't work for me and appears to be too short as well.

The freezer works fine but the top box is warm. Seen this
problem in the group before but didn't see a solution.


Missed a few postings then

*Some* possible trouble makers:
- frost free failure ( coils plug up with frost )
- evaporator fan motor not running ( bad fan, open defrost thermostat )
- bad air damper control
- broken fan blade
- light staying on inside the FF section

Full model number is ARB220ZCC. There is ice on the coils in the
freezer and on the bottom vents in the freezer.

You need to unplug and melt the ice.
I've used a fan to speed up the process.
Then find out why it iced up.
In my case it was the door not mounted right.
Also check the door seals.

To thaw the ice, you can use a hair dryer if you move it around and
don't get the plastic too hot.
