What Power Failure
actually means.
On the ML24FA, a break in power turns off the System Status light and makes the Power Failure indicator flash, with ALARM RESET showing below the On/Off key. It sounds no tone, so you may only notice it later.

What to do when Power Failure 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 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Marvel's own guidance for Power Failure on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the food, even if the freezer is cold again, since Marvel warns long outages can spoil it.
Press On/Off briefly to reset the indicator.
If the light keeps returning with no known outage, have the outlet and cord checked, then book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into freezer diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
The Power Failure indicator does not mean the freezer is broken. It records that power was cut, which can happen from a tripped breaker or a loose plug as well as a utility outage.
