Neon do flicker and possibly more at the end of their life.
Even if the neon completely fails and the red light goes out the socket
will still work as normal.

A warning light that does not work should always be replaced,
covered, or marked as broken, since is necessary to have a warning
that the warning light cannot give a warning.


It's not a warning light INHO.

It's an indication light.

It might also be a functional light, to ensure the freezer still works
at low temperatures.

More reason why a non working light should be replaced with one of the
same type.

"Hi, I have a switch in my kitchen which has a red light on it."

Implies that it is in a 13A wall socket (or possibly a spur box or even
a 13A plug) rather than part of the FF. A neon wouldn't generate enough
heat to affect the functioning of the FF in any case.
