Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Compressor hums but will not start
- 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 Strathmore Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Strathmore come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.

In New Jersey, you can check a license with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System or report a problem to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
