What a freezer repair usually involves

Frost buildup and poor freezing are most often caused by a failed defrost heater, defrost thermostat or defrost control, a weak evaporator fan, a worn door gasket or a faulty temperature sensor. Units that won't start usually point to the start relay, overload, control board or thermostat. We test each component, explain what failed and replace it with an original part — most repairs are completed in one visit.

Freezer Repair FAQ

Why is my freezer covered in frost?

Heavy frost usually means the automatic defrost system has failed or warm, humid air is getting in through a worn door gasket. Manually defrosting only buys time — the frost returns until the faulty part is replaced.

How long will food stay frozen if the freezer stops?

A full, closed freezer typically keeps food frozen for about 48 hours, a half-full one for about 24. Keep the door shut and call us as early as possible.

Do you repair chest freezers in garages?

Yes. We service chest and upright freezers wherever they are installed in your home or business within our service area.
