Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- 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.

Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license.
