Amana model # ARS9265BB.
Worked great since 2005, then stopped cooling this past weekend for 2 days and then started back cooling. Could hear circulation fan running in freezer side, lights worked, but no cooling.

What was running/not running when it failed?

It just stopped cooling. Could hear the fan running on the freezer side when I opened the freezer door. Started back cooling about 36 to 48 hours later. Any ideas?

Your evaporator fan and compressor are wired in parallell through splices. I would check all connectors in the control panel for a burnt, loose splice or wire. You can remove all connectors and spay them with a non-residue contact cleaner, then plug them in.
The other area would be the compressor terminals, look for a burnt/loose wire.

Stopped cooling again last night. Will check and clean connections and look for loose or burnt wires. Would a faulty capacitor cause this problem.
Thank you.

If the compressor is cold when it fails, that would rule out a faulty capacitor.

The overload relay was faulty. When I removed it, I could hear it rattling.
Installed a new one a couple of hours ago, and it seems to be functioning normally.
Thanks for your replies.
