Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- 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.
