Press MEASURED FILL under the blinking Confirm to acknowledge the message and return to the home screen. ### Is PO on my Amana a repair request? No, it describes an outage that let the freezer reach 18°F or more. Pressing the button under Confirm dismisses it, and nothing further is needed for the message itself. ### What should I check after PO on an Amana? Frozen food for thawing and the refrigerator side, which lost power just as long. Confirm both compartments recover over the next few hours. --- **[Read on the site: Amana refrigerator showing PO | RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/amana-po/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
