Amanas have coils underneath (near the compressor) and should be cleaned at least once a year (more often if you have pets that shed).
Older Amana refrigerators are especially sensitive to air flow blockage.
First, remove the kickplate/grill at the bottom front covering the opening under the lower door. Clean the kickplate outside with a garden hose to remove any dust and hair. Next, using either a condenser coil brush (looks like a bottle brush) or a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool (which doesn't do as good a job), clean over, under and through the coils found behind the kickplate.
