Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- 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.
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?

Plug the refrigerator or freezer into a grounded three-prong outlet; do not remove the ground prong or use an adapter or extension cord. Source: Whirlpool - Modular Ice Maker Kit Installation Instructions (W11548724)

Local Notes for Lone Grove
Most freezer calls in Lone Grove come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system.

In Oklahoma, you can check a license with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board Licensee Search or report a problem to the Oklahoma Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
