Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
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.
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
Keep the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C). Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?
