Food Safety When a Freezer Warms Up
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 Repair Cost Ranges
Most freezer repairs come down to one part and an hour or two of labor, which is why many are worth pricing before you shop for a new freezer. Published ranges:
- Evaporator fan motor (defrost motor): $100–$440 Source: ConsumerAffairs - Cost to Repair a Freezer
- Compressor replacement: $400–$800 Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?
- Chest freezer repair: $50–$400 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Appliance repair labor: $50–$125 per hour Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?
For a newer built-in ice maker, replacing just the failed motor may be the best option, while on some older units a motor costs about as much as a new ice maker. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair an ice maker?
