Why all this frost suddenly ?
Is the thermostat set too high? Does it ever turn off?
It could be the door seals, check to see if intact, if so, could need cleaning so they seat properly.
Finally, should there be draw covers, which have been removed?

yes the evap fan in the frezer should be running when the compressor is running[it may not for a minute or so as it starts up.Amana's are good for the connectors at the evap fan motor comming apart.the connectors are white and will look like its together but when you pull it will come apart.i would always cut the connector out and use a wire nut so wont happen again.if any other questions please email thru FixYa and i will be glad to help. God bless ,tom

Look at the back of the freezer wall from inside the freezer. Is there frost on it? If there is, you need to replace one of the components of the defrost system. If there is no frost then you need to have a repair made to the sealed system, it is either out of gas or the compressor is running inefficiently

I have this problem as well, only nobody is leaving anything open. The defroster is defective of these things and the duct between the fridge and freezer gets frozen over and the cold air can't get in the fridge, so the freezer keeps working until it's blue in the face.
I own the Amana ARB9058CS (since 2003) and recently had both the water dispenser and ice maker stop working. In the process of checking things out I noticed two things: 1st the refrigerator section was freezing the produce. 2nd the ice maker was making a sound like a gate creaking, this sound was continuous and was the first thing to catch my attention. I took the advice from the 1st solution Posted 10-16-08 and used a hair dryer on the lines behind the produce drawers and in about 5 minutes or less I was getting water from the dispenser but the ice maker kept making the creaking sound so I turned the hair dryer on it and in about 7 minutes the noise stopped and the 1st batch of ice came out an hour later. The root cause of my problem was the temperature control knob on the left upper part of the freezer compartment, which is literally out of sight. A bad place to put a control knob because you can rotate the knob by bumping it when you place items in the freezer. The knob on my freezer had rotated in this manner almost to maximum freezing, thereby creating the problem above. Solution: Pull the knob off & keep it in the butter keeper or on one of the door shelves.

Are the ice cubes being formed the same size as before? If
freezer temperatures are increasing above 5 Degrees Fahrenheit in freezer this will slow down and at
times stop ice production. Look around
the rear wall of your freezer to see if a layer of frost is building. If yes
this will indicate a defrost problem that in turn raise freezer and fresh food
temperatures. Here is a Whirlpool Ice Maker Troubleshooting PDF
