When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
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?

What Greenwood Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Greenwood come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
