What POWER OUTAGE light
actually means.
The POWER OUTAGE indicator on Frigidaire's single-door freezer with an ice maker lights after the supply has been interrupted. It stays lit so you know to check the food, because the temperature may have gone past the safe range while the power was off. It is reset by pressing POWER OUTAGE once the food has been checked.

What to do when POWER OUTAGE light 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.

What not to do
The light does not mean the freezer is broken; it records an interruption. Repeated outages that nobody else in the house notices point to the outlet, the cord or the control rather than the utility.
