How to Fix Amana Refrigerator Error HIGH TEMP ALARM

Error Code: HIGH TEMP ALARM Difficulty: Easy

Problem: The freezer temperature has exceeded 15°F for 2 hours or the refrigerator temperature has exceeded 60°F for 2 hours. The “High Temp” indicator light illuminates and the affected compartment indicator flashes with an audio alarm.

How to Fix HIGH TEMP ALARM Error (Step-by-Step)

1. Press the ‘Alarm Off’ button on the control panel to silence the audible alarm.
2. Check to ensure both the refrigerator and freezer doors are fully closed. Examine the door gaskets for any food debris or damage that might prevent a proper seal.
3. Verify that there is enough space around the refrigerator for air to circulate. There should be at least 1 inch of clearance on the sides and top, and 2 inches at the back.
4. Avoid placing large amounts of warm or hot food inside at once. Allow leftovers to cool before storing them.
5. Check the temperature settings. The recommended setting is typically 37°F for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer. Adjust if necessary.
6. Wait for 24 hours to allow the internal temperatures to stabilize. If the alarm continues after this period, it may indicate a more serious issue with the cooling system.
7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
