Viking Fully Integrated Column Message "Power Failure!!": extended power interruption

What Power Failure!! means

On current Viking Fully Integrated columns with a touch display, such as the FDREIC7300 and FDBMIC7360, the display can read Power Failure!! after the power was cut for an extended time. The appliance restarts on its own and shows the highest temperatures recorded during the outage so you can judge your food. Pressing ALARM silences the sound. The message reports what happened to the supply rather than a defect in the refrigerator, although long outages can leave the food warm.

Common causes of Power Failure!!

A household power outage or tripped breaker that lasted long enough to be recorded
A plug or outlet that was disconnected during cleaning or moving
Repeated brief interruptions from the house wiring

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press ALARM to silence the sound. 2. Read the highest temperatures shown before you clear anything. 3. Check frozen food for thawing and discard perishables that rose above safe temperatures. 4. Confirm the plug is seated and the outlet breaker is on. 5. If the message returns without an outage, call us.

! Why to stop there

The message reflects the electricity supply, not a broken part
The food check matters more than a repair visit
Frequent unexplained outages are a wiring matter for an electrician

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Power Failure!!Power Failure!! questions

Does Power Failure!! mean I must call a technician?

Usually not. The unit restarted by itself and is telling you the power was off. Check the food and silence the alarm, and call us only if it appears without an outage.

What are the temperatures it shows?

They are the highest readings reached while the power was off. Use them to decide what to keep. Cold items that stayed within safe range are fine, and warm perishables should go.

What if outages keep happening?

If the house loses power often, an electrician should look at the circuit. If the supply is steady and the message still returns, we test the unit and quote in writing.
