Our 12 yr old Amana has quit freezing. From the many posts and answers on this excellent forum I have realized that our fridge has probably reached its demise. The food compartment is still cool enough to work but the freezer is 34 degrees. There is frost on about 5 inches of the evap coil from the right hand end. Are DIY compressor jobs feasable? Could it be something simple? Can a novice recharge one of these? My parents bought a Frigidaire the year I was born-1946-and when I inherited it after many moves it ended up in Montana in an electronics store. It is still running and has never, to my knowlege, been serviced. From that to this–No one can tell me that’s "progress"!:mad:
That is not a DYI job. A qualified tech would find and repair the leak and recharge system or replace compressor requiring soldiering and recharging.
