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 freezerKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
After first plugging in, keep the door closed for at least eight hours before loading food.
Shows up asStandalone 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.

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.
After first plugging in, keep the door closed for at least eight hours before loading food.
If the light flashes on an upright that has been running for days, check the door seal and the room temperature.
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.
