Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician

  • Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
  • Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
  • Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
  • An error code or temperature alarm

Food Safety When a Freezer Warms Up

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.

An appliance thermometer is the most reliable way to know the temperature; keep one at the front of both the refrigerator and the freezer and check them at least weekly. Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?

Why Freezers Stop Freezing

Thermostat and controlsA temperature control or sensor that fails can leave the compressor off, running nonstop or cycling at the wrong point.
Sealed systemA refrigerant leak or a compressor that will not start is the most expensive freezer repair and needs an EPA-certified technician. It is also less common than the parts above.
Defrost systemFrost-free freezers melt frost off the evaporator coil on a timer or a control. When a defrost heater, thermostat or timer fails, the coil ices over, air stops moving and the freezer slowly warms.

What Gets Fixed on a Tarrant Freezer Call

Sealed systemA technician certified for refrigerant handling checks for a leak or a failed compressor when the simpler parts test good. These repairs cost more and are weighed against replacement.
Condenser coilsDusty condenser coils are cleaned so the system can shed heat. Freezers in garages and basements collect dust and lint quickly.
Start componentsIf the compressor hums but will not run, the start relay and overload are tested before anyone looks at the compressor itself.

Local Notes for Tarrant

Most freezer calls in Tarrant come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.

Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.

In Alabama, you can check a license with the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board Individual Licensee Search or report a problem to the Alabama Attorney General's Office, Consumer Interest Division.

Freezer Repair FAQs: Tarrant, AL

Why is my freezer not freezing?
The usual causes are a frosted-over evaporator from a failed defrost part, a fan that stopped, a dirty condenser, a door that is not sealing or a control problem. A refrigerant leak or compressor fault is less common. A technician checks each in order before replacing parts.
What does a freezer repair usually cost?
Most companies charge a service call or diagnostic fee that is often applied to the repair if you go ahead. Fans, defrost parts, thermostats and door gaskets are usually worth fixing on a freezer that is otherwise sound; sealed-system work costs more. Our freezer repair cost guide lists published ranges.
How cold should a freezer be?
Food safety agencies recommend keeping a freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. An appliance thermometer is the most reliable check, since the dial or display shows a setting rather than a measurement.
