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

What Papillion Owners Should Know

In Nebraska, you can check a license with the Nebraska Department of Labor contractor registration (Search Registered Contractors and Subcontractors) or report a problem to the Nebraska Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
