Freezer repair

What we fix

We fix freezers that won’t hold temperature, build up frost, or stop cooling, standalone, built-in, or that extra one in the garage.

We also fix inconsistent cooling, frost buildup and other performance issues.

Common signs and causes

• A freezer that will not hold temperature can lose a full load of food quickly, so the first step is finding out whether it is a sealing, airflow or cooling problem.
• Frost on the back wall or around the door often points to a defrost or gasket issue.

Problems and what causes them

• Not holding temperature. Common causes include a faulty compressor, a malfunctioning evaporator fan, or a refrigerant leak.
• Heavy frost. Thick frost accumulating on the walls or coils of your freezer usually points to a defective defrost timer, a failed defrost heater, or a faulty defrost thermostat.
• Noises. Buzzing, clicking, humming, or rattling sounds from your freezer often indicate a worn condenser fan motor, a failing compressor, or loose internal components.
• Won't turn on. If your freezer won’t power on, the issue could be related to the power supply, a blown thermal fuse, or a defective start relay.
• Water around the unit. Water pooling inside or around your freezer is commonly caused by a clogged defrost drain, a broken door seal, or a cracked drain pan.
