Marvel freezer display What to do when Power Failure shows on the freezer ### Kind of code Power 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 to Freezer 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 as Freezer Error Code A freezer error code appears on the display: letters and digits, a flashing temperature, or a warning symbol, sometimes with an alarm and sometimes with the freezer still running. ### Make Marvel Marvel freezers repaired where they are installed, with the airflow and the seal checked before any part is replaced. ### Source Marvel Installation, Operation and Maintenance Instructions, ML24FA freezer (41014058 Rev F) Older Marvel ML24FA freezers with the keypad control and indicator lights; current MLFZ, MOFZ and MPFZ models use different displays. ## Before you book, in this order.

Check the food, even if the freezer is cold again, since Marvel warns long outages can spoil it. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is the Power Failure light flashing on my Marvel when the power is on? It stays on after the outage until you reset it, so it tells you power was lost earlier. Press On/Off briefly to clear it. ### Does the Marvel Power Failure alarm beep? No. On the ML24FA it is a silent flashing light, so look at the panel after storms or breaker trips. ### What if my Marvel shows Power Failure again and again? Repeated power loss can come from a loose plug, a failing outlet or a breaker that trips. If the breaker trips, turn the freezer off at the breaker and book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Marvel Power Failure indicator flashing on an ML24FA](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/marvel-power-failure/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
