Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician

- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door

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.
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
Perishable foods held above 40°F for more than 2 hours should be thrown out. Source: USDA FSIS - A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes
