Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
Before the Food Thaws
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
Thawed food can be safely refrozen if it still has ice crystals or is at 40°F or below. Source: FoodSafety.gov - Three Ways to Keep Food Safe When You Lose Power
