What Power Failure Indicator Means
This indicator appears after the unit loses and regains power, flagging that contents may have been exposed to unsafe temperatures during the outage.
Common Causes of Power Failure Indicator
- A home power outage or breaker trip
- The unit being unplugged and replugged
- A tripped GFCI outlet the unit is connected to
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Check for signs of partial thawing/refreezing or a temperature rise to judge whether contents were affected, then clear the indicator once reviewed.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- This is informational, not a fault — there's no repair to attempt, but ignoring what it's telling you about content safety carries real risk.
- A GFCI outlet that keeps tripping (rather than a one-time outage) can look identical to this indicator but points to a separate electrical issue worth having checked.
- Repeated power-failure indicators with no actual outage can indicate a loose plug or failing outlet, not the unit itself.
