When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
Before the Food Thaws
Keep the door closed. Every opening lets cold air out. Put an appliance thermometer inside so you know the real temperature, and move food to another freezer or a cooler with ice if the repair will take longer than the freezer can hold.

What Bentonville Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Bentonville come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Arkansas has no separate appliance repair license, and household appliances are listed as exempt equipment under the state HVACR licensing law, though exempt work must still meet HVACR rules and any local permit and inspection requirements.

In Arkansas, you can check a license with the Arkansas Department of Health Protective Health Codes licensee search (plumbing and gas fitter licenses) or report a problem to the Arkansas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
