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.

Local Notes for Florida City
Most freezer calls in Florida City come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
