When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
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
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?

Freezer Safety Notes
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.

Extreme temperatures strain a freezer's compressor, so outside mild climates it is best kept indoors, such as in a basement. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers

Around Okmulgee
Most freezer calls in Okmulgee 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.
