could be a bad unit from day 1,motor loose internally,or it can be moisture in the sealed system

This should be able to be done on site. If you look at the top of the fridge, on the opposite corner from where your hinge is currently located, you should see some sort of plug(s) that covers the screw holes that are used for changing the hinge between left and right. The same thing on the bottom face of the fridge body. You will see the screw holes to change the bottom hinge side as well. The doors themselves should also have plugs that cover where they sit on the hinges when the door opening direction is changed. I've not done it with model of fridge before, but I have with many others (installed them for a living when I was younger) and it should be a very simple DIY job providing there aren't any water tubes for the ice maker going into the door. Even then, with a bit of patience you should be able to do it rather than be charged for such a simple thing.

Hope this helps!

make sure its not jammed. or something is is making it jam like a bag of food

Automatic defrost units have a drain for the melt water to leave the cabinet and travel to a pan under it. That drain is sometimes not easy to find and it may be clogged with debris or mold so the runoff can't leave as it should.

It could be unequal tightening of the mounting of the compressor. Also check the belt for uneven thickmess...........sodeep

The water line runs through the door and this is where it freezes. It's usually defetive insulation. Other than replace the door you may can tape or other wise fasten more insulation to the inside of the door in the area you think it's freezing in.

Traded in!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get it checked out. It should be good for another 7 years or so. A new fridge will cost $900 to $2000 and the quality of many of the new ones is not so good.

You would have to look at your original warranty paperwork to be sure but I would doubt it. Most of Amana's refrigerators only come with a one year warranty. Even if it is a five year warranty you will most likely have to show a proof of purchase and pay a service fee for the tech to come out.

Has the filter been replaced recently. If not replace it. If it has, then check the tap the supplies water to the frig and the supply line for kinks. If the line is not kinked, open the tap valve all of the way.This should increase your water pressure to the frig.

sounds like the compressor vibration dampers are wearing out. the dampers are the rubber washers that seperate the compressor from the chassis of the fridge. when they start to deteriorate, and the compressor kicks on, it will bounce against something in the chassis, causing a knocking noise.
