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

Safety Before Any Repair
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.

Local Notes for Coolidge
Most freezer calls in Coolidge come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.
