Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Compressor hums but will not start
Protecting the Food While You Wait
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

Most freezer calls in Miami Shores come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.
