When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
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.
During a power outage, an unopened refrigerator keeps food cold for about 4 hours; a full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours and a half-full freezer for about 24 hours if the door stays shut. Source: USDA FSIS - A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes
Perishable foods held above 40°F for more than 2 hours should be thrown out. Source: USDA FSIS - A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Windcrest, TX
Most freezer calls in Windcrest 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.
