A freezer that quietly stops freezing costs more than the repair once the food inside is lost, so speed matters more here than with most appliances.

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.
