What PO
actually means.
Amana uses PO to report a power outage that lasted long enough for the freezer to warm to 18°F or more. The display shows PO and three tones sound when power comes back. It describes an event that has already happened, not a part that has stopped working.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Amana's own guidance for PO on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press MEASURED FILL under the blinking Confirm to acknowledge the message and return to the home screen.
Check frozen food for thawing and decide what is still good.
Check the refrigerator side as well, since it was off for just as long.
Make sure both compartments get back to their set temperatures over the next few hours.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
It is not a request for repair. Once acknowledged, PO has done its job.
