Make sure the fan next to the compressor is running. Post the results. Here are the break down diagrams for the Amana refrigerator Model TR21VL Gene.

Normally it suppose to be 100% of light snow. Also check if the evaporator fan works properly. Post the results. Gene.

I did unplug ther refrig. to perform this task. There were no signs of ice remaining in the coils. I pluged it in and the fan ran fine, smooth with no noise.

It could be low on Freon or the compressor has low capacity. In both scenarios it has to be serviced by a certified technician. Gene.
