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.
