Adam,
I got a refrigerator repair person to come out and repair mine. I told them I would remove the appliance so they could get to the back. My Amana refer sits on the floor in my kitchen slideout. I got some 2" by 10" boards and laid them on the floor. I put a couple of sheets of plywood on top of that, so that the wood platform was even with the slide out floor. I released the refrigerator wheels and the hold down brackets in the top. I then rolled the refer out onto the platform and turned it slightly, providing access to the back. I removed the bottom rear cover and cleaned out the dust. I always clean from the front, so this is the first time I could get the back. I checked the little fans to see that they were operating.
The repair guy came out, installed a refrigerant fill port, found the leak and silver-soldered it. Then he refilled the refrigerant. He charged about $300 from my recollection. This was in Montgomery, Alabama in 2021. It has worked ever since (fingers crossed).
Just my experience. Hope it all works out for you.
Regards,
Bob
