Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

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.

Local Notes for Greenville
Most freezer calls in Greenville come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.
