Freezer stopped after power outage

If the sides are hot, look at the defrost timer. Sounds like it has stopped running with the defrost elements on. The compressor has a safety switch on it that opens either if the compressor gets too hot or if it pulls too much current when starting. If your power flickered a lot before coming back on, that triggered the safety switch. Now that it's running normally, I wouldn't worry. The defrost timer is your problem now.

Door hot

Totally normal. The condenser sends hot gas through the frame to stop the freezer door freezing to the frame. Check to see if you have a fan behind the condenser grill and make sure its running and clean

Power on Interior lights on refrigerator does not operate not cool

The interior lamps fail to light up as the swittch is faulty , so replace teh door switch if a contact cleaning wont help.
Now the cooling is related to many issues, so shut off fridge to allow time of 5 hours, The restart , if the fridge does not cool , the compressor , gas pressure is done and must be checked. If cooling is present then check if the auto defrost timer/thermostat is faulty as the fridge might stop cooling after 12 hours.

Freezer works frige dont unplug for an hour then it works .

I would suggest check the coils to make sure they are clean . Also check the fan which cools the compressor to make sure it is working . When you unplug , it gives the compressor time to cool down a bit , but after it restarts , it will get hot again and stop cooling .

Lamp Replacement Procedure:
1. Press the POWER button to turn off the power.
2. Wait for about 1 minute until the cooling fan stops.
Note:
The lamp cooling fan will continue to operate for about 1

interrupting the power by using circuit breakers or switchable

Note:
Please wait more than one hour before replacing the lamp.

5. Turn the Knob to the left.
6. Pull the Lamp Cover out.
7. Loosen the Screw on the Lamp. Then, pull the Lamp.
