Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
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.

Safety Before Any Repair
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.
