# Frigidaire upright freezer green light flashing: still cooling down to your setting

Some Frigidaire uprights project a green Power On light onto the floor.

## What Green Power On light flashing actually means.

Some Frigidaire uprights project a green Power On light onto the floor. It flashes from the moment the freezer is plugged in until it reaches the selected temperature, then stays steady. Flashing after start-up is expected; flashing that never stops means the freezer cannot reach its setting.

What to do when Green Power On light flashing shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.

### Usually leads to No repair

After first plugging in, keep the door closed for at least eight hours before loading food.

### Shows up as Standalone Freezer Not Freezing

A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.

### Make Frigidaire

Frigidaire freezers repaired wherever they stand, from the garage to the basement to the kitchen.

### Source Frigidaire upright freezer quick guide A29320902, FAQ

Frigidaire uprights with the five-step Temp control and a floor-projected green Power On light (quick guide A29320902); not all models have the light.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for Green Power On light flashing on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

After first plugging in, keep the door closed for at least eight hours before loading food.

02

If the light flashes on an upright that has been running for days, check the door seal and the room temperature.

03

Book a visit if the light keeps flashing for more than a day with the door closed.

### Cleared?

The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.

### What not to do

A flashing green light is not an alarm and does not mean a part has failed. The red High Temp light is the warning that the cabinet has warmed up.

## Questions about Green Power On light flashing.

### Can I clear Green Power On light flashing myself?

After first plugging in, keep the door closed for at least eight hours before loading food.

### How long should the green light flash on a new Frigidaire upright freezer?

Until the freezer reaches the setting you chose, which can take several hours from room temperature. Frigidaire asks you to run it with the door closed for at least eight hours before loading food.

### My Frigidaire freezer's green floor light started flashing again after months. Why?

The freezer has drifted above its setting, for example after a big load, a door left ajar or a hot garage. If it does not go steady within a day, book a visit.

### Does turning my Frigidaire upright to a colder step stop the green light flashing?

No. A colder setting gives the freezer a lower target, so it may flash longer. Change settings in small steps and allow a day for the temperature to settle.
