When to Call for Freezer Repair

- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- 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.
