Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Compressor hums but will not start
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.
