Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
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.
