Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
Protecting the Food While You Wait
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.
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 Prairie Grove Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Prairie Grove come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
