Maytag Refrigerator PO Error Code
What it means
Maytag says "PO" is the Power Outage indicator and appears after power loss when the freezer temperature has risen to 18 degrees F (-8 degrees C) or higher.
Try this first
- Press MEASURED FILL under "Confirm" to acknowledge the power outage.
- Confirm that "PO" disappears and the display returns to the Home screen.
Can I keep using it?After acknowledging PO, check food temperatures and refrigerator operation because the freezer temperature rose during the outage.
Repair usually required?The cited article treats PO as a power-outage status; repair is not prescribed unless the refrigerator has an ongoing problem.
