Food Safety When a Freezer Warms Up
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.
During a power outage, an unopened refrigerator keeps food cold for about 4 hours; a full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours and a half-full freezer for about 24 hours if the door stays shut. Source: USDA FSIS - A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes
An appliance thermometer is the most reliable way to know the temperature; keep one at the front of both the refrigerator and the freezer and check them at least weekly. Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?

What Berryville Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Berryville 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.
