Amana Refrigerator Error Code Power Up Alarm

The Power Up Alarm on an Amana refrigerator means the unit experienced a power interruption and has reset to factory default temperature settings. All temperature indicator lights flash on the control panel to alert you to this change. It is a notification feature, not a malfunction, and is expected behavior after any power loss or cycle.

The Power Up Alarm itself is not a safety concern. It is simply a notification that settings have reverted to factory defaults following a power interruption. However, if food has been stored in the refrigerator during an extended outage, you should verify that internal temperatures returned to safe levels, generally below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, before consuming perishable items.

In most cases, the Power Up Alarm requires no repair and no parts, since it is cleared by pressing a button on the control panel. If the underlying cause is a failing control board that repeatedly triggers the alarm, control board replacement on a refrigerator typically costs in the range of $150 to $400 or more depending on parts and labor in your area.

To clear the Power Up Alarm, press the Alarm Off pad or the asterisk (*) pad on the control panel. This will stop the lights from flashing and acknowledge the reset. If you had custom temperature settings, you will need to re-enter them after clearing the alarm.

Yes, pressing the Alarm Off or * pad clears the alarm and the flashing lights will stop. If the alarm returns repeatedly without any known power interruption, that pattern may indicate a loose power connection or a failing control board that warrants further inspection rather than repeated resets.
