Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
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?
