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.

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Prosper, TX
Most freezer calls in Prosper come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
