How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you suspect wiring damage or burning smell, leave power off and call a professional.
Steps to address PF (power failure):
- Check power source: Verify the breaker is on and the plug is fully inserted. Reset any tripped breakers.
- Clear the code: Press the power button to restart the unit. Many Amana models will clear PF automatically when restarted.
- Inspect cord and outlet: Look for signs of overheating or arcing. Replace damaged cords or have an electrician replace a damaged outlet.
- Monitor operation: If PF recurs frequently without utility outages, have an electrician check for loose connections or voltage fluctuations.
Repeated power interruptions can stress the compressor; consider using a dedicated circuit and surge protection.
