How do I know which way to turn the temperature knob on our Amana refrigerator if it has no numbers but shows representations of snowflakes instead?
More snowflakes = colder. Place a small amount of water in a few cups in various spots in fridge, wait overnight, temp water if you want, otherwise if frozen; too cold.

pencj,
My honest answer is that I have seen this before and in most cases the board works properly after the reboot.
Although you may not have lost power, you may have gotten a voltage spike. I would cancel the service man coming out, (I am a working service man myself) he probably will give you two options. #1 Wait to see if this happens again and if it does happen again soon, the board should be replaced. #2 replace the board now.
My suggestion is to soon go purchase a surge suppressor to plug into. This does not need to be a power strip style. A good quality suppressor that only has one or 2 plug in's or plugs directly into the wall receptacle should do fine. Your refrigerators maximum amp draw is listed on the model # sticker inside the refrigerator compartment.
I hope this helps, supertechks

A new thermostat is required. When you turned it down you probably broke the contact and will not re-connect. Be careful installing the new one the fine tube contains gas which is temperature sensitive. do kink or break it.

How To Replace the Temperature Control
Remove the temperature control dial or housing. Pull the dial
straight away from the wall. Remove the temperature control. If there is
a housing over the control, it either snaps into place or is held in
place with screws. Remove the screws, or gently depress the retaining
clips with a small screwdriver. Allow the housing to hang by its wiring. 
The problem has to be in the damper control inside the refrigerator section.
Disconnect the refrigerator from power and remove the food from the top shelf. The damper control is in the box near the top of the refrigerator section behind the temperature control knob.
Remove the knob and cover until you can access the damper control. You can prop the damper control open with a pencil or something to make the refrigerator work until you get a part if you need to. Here is the part you need.
