A freezer that quietly stops freezing costs more than the repair once the food inside is lost, so speed matters more here than with most appliances. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention freezers and refrigeration at the top.

Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
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.
During a power outage, an unopened refrigerator keeps food cold for about 4 hours; a full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours and a half-full freezer for about 24 hours if the door stays shut. Source: USDA FSIS - A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes
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?
