- 3Breaker briefly tripped
- 4Loose outlet or worn board relay faking the code
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Tap any pad on the panel to dismiss the PO notice — a one-time outage needs nothing more
- 2
Glance at the freezer and fresh-food dials to be sure the numbers survived the blackout
- 3
Give the box a full day to pull back down before you judge whether cooling actually suffered
- 4
Should the compressor sit silent past ten minutes, pull the plug for five and re-seat it
- 5
When PO keeps nagging with the power clearly steady, jiggle the cord and feel the outlet for warmth or play
Pro Diagnostic Tip
PO on these value Amana top-freezer and side-by-side boxes is just an outage marker nine times out of ten and wipes away with a button press. Amana runs a simpler single-board control than the French-door units, so a PO that genuinely will not stop returning with steady power almost never means a dead board — it means a loose plug or a tired wall outlet feeding it intermittently, and that is the only version of PO worth spending money on.
You Might Also Notice

- •Compartment temps sitting above where they were set
- •A puddle or refrozen clump in the ice bin
- •The notice returning with no blackout to blame
