What Power outage symbol lit red
actually means.
On integrated Miele freezers such as the FNS 7794 E, a red power outage symbol and an alarm mean the freezer zone rose too high during a power outage or supply interruption in the past hours or days. After you tap the symbol, the warmest temperature reached flashes for about a minute, then the display returns to the current temperature. The freezer resumes its setting once power is back.

What to do when Power outage symbol lit red 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.

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.
