Fast freeze is overriding your thermostat so the freezer compressor works all the time.This will kill your compressor.Try change thermostat.Jan

Try plugging something else in the outlet. A lamp would work to make sure you did not trip a circut breaker when you plugged back in after defrost.

Is it a red light? If so it's not reaching temperature (the alarm is about -12c) If it's a yellow light, you've accidentally switched on "fast freeze". If it's a green light it's just the power supply light.

Please observe these : - Compressor current draw. - Thermostat setting
If your Freezer current draw is very low than its to be, your compressor is damage and need replacement.

Empty and unplug unit till defrosted.

Perhaps the power outage, was caused by your freezer? When you think a reset would help, the run light should come on, after a little while. But perhaps only the thermostat is defect. Be aware there can be so many causes, and none has to be related to the power outage, for your freezer not to work. It would be virtually impossible to see what is wrong, from a distance. Better try to bring the food to a working fridge and call a tech to solve the problem.
