Amana air conditioner systems convince customers of their durability. That doesn’t mean, though, that they never develop any problems. Like any system, the air conditioners (whether they are Amana or not) may not work as expected. Should you have a problem with your Amana AC, a reset might be the best way to manage the problem. Amana air conditioners come with a reset button which you will find out more about below.
You must reset the Amana air conditioner in case of a power outage. The air conditioner might not start because it has a protection circuit breaker that reduces the risk of fires and explosions.

Many air conditioning units come with a reset button and Amana air conditioning units don’t make for an exception. Typically, the reset button is marked in red and has a small size. You will definitely identify it as it’s labeled as a RESET BUTTON. You will find the reset button in the outdoor compressor unit. If you don’t find it there, you can read the Amana user manual to discover its location.
If the power outage is the cause for the AC system not turning on, the steps to follow to use the reset button on your air conditioner are:
- Begin by checking out if the unit is on or not
- Identify the reset button
- Press and hold the reset button down for five seconds or so
- Press and hold the reset button down once again. Please do it for five seconds.
- Wait a bit until the air conditioner resets
What can you do if the unit still doesn’t run
When you follow the steps but are unsuccessful, an electrical condition might be why the air conditioner is not running. It means that a moderate to severe problem is causing the malfunction. Hiring an HVAC technician is the wisest decision.
