When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
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.

An appliance thermometer is the most reliable way to know the temperature; keep one at the front of both the refrigerator and the freezer and check them at least weekly. Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?

Refrigerant and Sealed-System Work

Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature
