Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician
- An error code or temperature alarm
- Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm
- Compressor hums but will not start
- Water pooling under or inside the freezer
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.

What Green Bay Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Green Bay come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
