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.

Freezer Safety Notes
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.

Keep the freezer at 0°F, leave a few inches of space around it for air circulation, and check that the door seals are airtight. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers

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.
