Most freezer breakdowns trace back to a short list of parts: the defrost system, the evaporator or condenser fan, the thermostat or temperature control, the door gasket and, less often, the sealed system. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention freezers and refrigeration at the top.

Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- 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.
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?
Keep the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C). Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?

Freezer Safety Notes
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.

Chest freezers are usually more efficient than uprights because their top-opening lid lets less cold air escape. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers

What Hernando Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Hernando come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Mississippi's State Board of Contractors has no appliance repair classification; it licenses mechanical, HVAC and plumbing contractors, with residential mechanical and plumbing subcontractors required to hold a license. Source: MSBOC: Classifications
In Mississippi, you can check a license with the MSBOC Check A License or report a problem to the Mississippi Attorney General's Office, Consumer Protection Division.
