Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door

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.

What Pelican Bay Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Pelican Bay 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.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
