It’s a bottom mount freezer, energy efficient!
Suddenly it started running non stop but not cooling enough.
All the fans are working and the evaporator coil is free of frost, except for a little chunk of ice at the very beginning of the coil. The condenser is clean
but not very warm to the touch. The compressor is hot, but not burning hot.
Can you help?

Unfortunately is sounds like you are low on freon.
You then only get cooling at the start of the evaporator coil.
This will be an expensive repair as you need a pro.
Also there us no use adding freon to the unit till the leak is found and that may not be possible.
Often it makes more sense to invest those dollars in a new unit.
I would check your manual to see what the warranty on the seakled system is.
Here is a link. Check out #20 and then the 3 example pictures part way down the page.

Thank you den man, i was thinking the same way. It’s really a shame the way they build things today. I had custom wood panels made for it and it looks as part of the kitchen cabinets. I can’t find the exact replacement so i might be forced to have it fixed. My original Amana lasted me over 20 years and is still working in a friend garage.
