Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
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.
