Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

  • An error code or temperature alarm
  • Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
  • Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
  • Compressor hums but will not start

Protecting the Food While You Wait

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.

Keep the refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or colder and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C). Source: FDA - Are You Storing Food Safely?

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

Condenser coilsDust on the condenser coils makes the system work harder and run warmer, especially for freezers kept in garages and utility rooms.
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.
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.

Inside a Freezer Repair Visit

FansThe evaporator fan inside and the condenser fan near the compressor are checked for power and for blades that are frozen in place or worn.
Evaporator coil and defrostOn frost-free models the back panel comes off to look at the coil. A coil packed with frost points to the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, timer or control.
Condenser coilsDusty condenser coils are cleaned so the system can shed heat. Freezers in garages and basements collect dust and lint quickly.

Troubleshooting first? Start with lg freezer not freezing or freezer not freezing.

Local Notes for Dublin

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

Freezer Repair FAQs: Dublin, CA

How much does freezer repair cost in Dublin?
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.
Why does my garage freezer stop freezing in winter?
Freezers are designed for a certain range of room temperatures, and very cold or very hot garages can stop them from working properly. Check the installation guide for the range your model allows; some models are sold as garage-ready.
What causes heavy frost buildup?
On a frost-free freezer, heavy frost on the back wall usually means the defrost system has failed. Frost near the door usually means a gasket or door that is not sealing. Manual-defrost chest freezers need to be defrosted by hand when frost builds up.
Is the helpline a manufacturer?
No. We are an independent directory and are not affiliated with any appliance manufacturer. Our helpline connects you with a participating independent technician. If your freezer is still under manufacturer coverage, contact the brand first.
