Amana Refrigerator Error – How to Fix

1. F (Flashing)

Fix this displayed error code by unplugging the refrigerator from the wall socket or shutting the circuit breaker down for about 60 seconds. Turn the refrigerator back on by plugging it back into the wall socket or powering the circuit breaker on.

Ensure that the cooling function is on. Then, watch the unit for about 60 to 90 seconds to see if the error code displays again. If it doesn’t, you are good. But if it does, contact a qualified technician to take a look at different components, find the faulty one and fix it or replace it.

2. PO

This error code means Power Outage. It blinks on the display when the supply of power to the refrigerator goes off. Then, the temperature of the freezer rises to 18 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.

A tone will beep 3 times to alert you and ‘Confirm’ will keep blinking until you press ‘Measured Fill’ under ‘Confirm’. Once confirmed, the error code PO will vanish and the Home Screen will appear again.

3. H20 Light

This indicator means that the water filter needs to be changed. If the light changes to red or the flow of water drops, replace the water filter. In fact, it is best to replace the filter every 6 months, whether the indicator alerts you or not.

Change the water filter and reset the light by pressing the Ice Type and Light buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds. The light will go off.

4. Air Filter Light

When the air filter is due for a change, the light will come on to alert you. After replacing the filter, you will need to reset the light. To do this, you need to consult the manual for the specific model of Amana refrigerator you have.

But reset the air filter by pressing the Air Filter pad and holding it for about 3 seconds. The filter icon will turn blue again and the prompt ‘Replace Filter’ will vanish from the display.

5. Cooling Off Light

‘Cooling Off’ will be displayed on the panel when the cooling function is off. Turning on the cooling function again will depend on the Amana refrigerator model you own. So consult the manual of your refrigerator for help.

However, you can try this common method:

Press the Measured Fill and Lock buttons simultaneously and hold them for about 3 seconds. This will turn the cooling function back on.

Be sure to press both buttons at the exact same time so that you don’t inadvertently lock the dispenser or change any setting.

6. Door Alarm

Depending on the Amana model, when the door of the refrigerator is open for up to 2 to 5 minutes, the alarm for door ajar will beep. The cooling function will come on so that the temperature of the refrigerator will not rise.

The beep of the alarm will sound every 2 minutes until you reset it. Close the door properly to turn it off and reset it.

Ensure that nothing inside the refrigerator is keeping the door open. Rearrange food items, shelves and bins inside the refrigerator. If the refrigerator is not level, it will also affect the door. So check the floor and the bottom of the refrigerator. This is to ensure that the door switch making contact.
