Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Compressor hums but will not start
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.
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?
Keep the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C). Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?

Old Freezers and Child Safety
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.
