When to Call for Freezer Repair
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
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.
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 Valley Falls Owners Should Know
