What POWER OUTAGE
actually means.
The POWER OUTAGE indicator on an Electrolux all-freezer column lights after an interruption to its supply. It is a reminder that the inside may have warmed past the safe range while the power was off. It stays lit until you check the food and press POWER OUTAGE.

What to do when POWER OUTAGE shows on the freezerKind of codePower and voltage
The freezer saw its supply voltage drop, spike or vanish, and many models log that as a code after an outage or when the power returns. The outlet, the circuit, a GFCI in a garage or basement and an extension cord are checked before anything inside the freezer. If there is a burning smell or the breaker keeps tripping, switch the breaker off from a dry panel and leave it off until the visit.
Usually leads toFreezer diagnostic visit
A visit that starts with the food and the room the freezer stands in, then works through the seal, the airflow, the defrost and the compressor until one part is named.
Shows up asFreezer Warming Up With Food Inside
The freezer warming up is a race against the clock: frozen packages are softening, drips are forming under the bottom basket, and the question is how long the food can wait.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for POWER OUTAGE on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the food first and discard anything that thawed and warmed.
Press POWER OUTAGE to reset the indicator.
If it lights again with no outage in the house, check the plug and the dedicated outlet, then book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into freezer diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
The light is not a report of a broken part; it only records that power stopped. If the column is warm with the light off, look to HIGH TEMP and the cooling system instead.
