Check the food before anything else and discard anything that thawed and warmed. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### The Power Outage light is on but my Frigidaire freezer feels cold. Is the food fine? Probably, if the outage was short, but measure the food to be sure. A cold cabinet now does not prove the food stayed frozen during a long interruption. ### Why does the Power Outage light keep coming back on my Frigidaire freezer? Something is cutting power to it: a loose plug, a tripping GFCI outlet, a shared circuit or a problem in the freezer's own wiring. Frigidaire asks for a dedicated, grounded outlet, so start there. ### Does the Frigidaire Power Outage light also sound an alarm? The indicator lights to tell you about the interruption, and a long outage can also bring on the HIGH TEMP alarm until the freezer is cold again. --- **[Read on the site: Frigidaire Power Outage light: the freezer lost power while you were away](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-power-outage-light/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
