Old Freezers and Child Safety
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.

Manual-defrost freezers use about half the energy of automatic-defrost models, but only if they are defrosted before frost reaches about a quarter inch. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Conroe, TX
Most freezer calls in Conroe come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.
