When to Call for Freezer Repair
- Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
- Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
- Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
- Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
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

Safety Before Any Repair
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.

Chest freezers are usually more efficient than uprights because their top-opening lid lets less cold air escape. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers
