When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- 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.
