When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
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.
