When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
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.

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.
