# Electrolux Power Failure indicator: the wine cooler lost power

When power to an EI24WC10QS generation wine cooler is interrupted, the status dot goes out and Power Failure flashes with ALARM RESET below the On/Off key, without a tone.

## What Power Failure actually means.

When power to an EI24WC10QS generation wine cooler is interrupted, the status dot goes out and Power Failure flashes with ALARM RESET below the On/Off key, without a tone. A new unit shows it on first power-up because it was powered at the factory for testing.

What to do when Power Failure shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Power

The cooler saw the supply voltage dip, surge or drop out, or is recording that the power was cut while nobody was home. The cause is as often the outlet, a shared circuit, an extension cord or a storm outage as the cooler itself. A breaker that will not hold or a whiff of hot plastic means cutting the circuit at the panel, standing dry and clear of the cooler, then leaving the glass door closed until the technician arrives.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler diagnostic visit

A visit that measures each zone and the room around the cabinet first, then works through the door seal, the airflow, the sensors and the cooling system until one part is named.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

### Make Electrolux

Electrolux wine coolers serviced in the home, from a cabinet that will not start to one that never stops running.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for Power Failure on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press On/Off briefly to reset the indicator.

02

Check the cabinet temperature, since a long outage can let it warm.

03

If it keeps appearing without a known outage, check for a loose plug or a GFCI or breaker that trips, then book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [wine cooler diagnostic visit](https://winecoolerrepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

Power Failure on a brand-new unit is expected and not a defect. It also does not mean power is still off; the unit is running again and reporting the gap.

## What you may notice with it.

The wine cooler problems Power Failure tends to arrive with. Answer these at the wine cooler before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Power Failure.

### Can I clear Power Failure myself?

Press On/Off briefly to reset the indicator. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does my new Electrolux wine cooler show Power Failure?

It was powered at the factory for inspection and then unplugged. Press On/Off briefly and the indicator clears.

### Why does Power Failure keep showing on my Electrolux wine cooler?

Short power drops are the usual cause. Electrolux advises against a GFI circuit for this unit, since nuisance tripping is common.

### Does my Electrolux wine cooler beep for a power failure?

No. The indicator flashes silently; only door and temperature alarms sound.
