When to Call for Freezer Repair

- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Compressor hums but will not start
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.

Safety Before Any Repair

Keep the freezer at 0°F, leave a few inches of space around it for air circulation, and check that the door seals are airtight. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers
