Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- An error code or temperature alarm
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.
