Common Freezer Problems

Freezer issues can range from minor nuisances to major malfunctions. Here are some of the most common problems we encounter:

• Freezer Not Freezing: If your freezer isn’t reaching the correct temperature, it could be due to a faulty thermostat, compressor, or condenser coils. Our technicians will inspect the system to find the exact cause and provide an effective repair.
• Frost Build-Up: Excessive frost inside your freezer is often caused by a malfunctioning defrost timer or heater. We can repair or replace these parts to keep your freezer operating efficiently.
• Strange Noises: If your freezer is making unusual noises, it may indicate a problem with the evaporator fan motor or compressor. We’ll pinpoint the noise source and perform the necessary repairs.
• Water Leaks: A leaking freezer is usually the result of a clogged or frozen defrost drain. We’ll clear the drain and ensure there are no further issues.

DIY Freezer Troubleshooting Tips

If you’re experiencing freezer issues, here are some troubleshooting tips before you call for a repair:

Freezer Not Cold Enough?

Check the thermostat settings to ensure the temperature is properly set. Make sure the door is closing fully, and inspect the door seal for any cracks or damage that might let warm air in.

Frost Buildup?

If you notice excess frost, try manually defrosting the freezer. If the frost returns quickly, it’s likely an issue with the defrost timer or heater, which may need professional attention.

Strange Noises?

If your freezer is making loud or unusual noises, ensure it’s properly leveled and not in contact with the wall. If the noise persists, it may be time to inspect the evaporator fan or compressor.
