When to Call for Freezer Repair

  • Chest freezer exterior feels hot to the touch for a long time
  • Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
  • An error code or temperature alarm
  • Compressor hums but will not start

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.
Door gaskets and hingesA torn or flattened gasket lets warm, moist air in, which loads the freezer with frost and makes it run long. Chest freezer lids and upright doors both wear gaskets.

Inside a Freezer Repair Visit

Door gasket and alignmentGaskets are checked for tears and gaps and the door or lid for sag. A poor seal shows up as frost near the opening and long run times.
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.
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.

What Simsbury Center Owners Should Know

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

Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection does not list a separate appliance repair license; work on gas piping, approved gas appliances and refrigeration systems falls under its heating, piping and cooling license categories.

How to Choose a Freezer and Ice Maker Technician Near Simsbury Center

  • What should I do with the food while I wait for the repair?

Freezer Repair FAQs: Simsbury Center, CT

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.
Should I repair or replace my freezer?
Compare the repair quote with the price of a comparable new freezer and consider its age. Fans, defrost parts, thermostats and gaskets are usually worth fixing; a compressor or refrigerant repair on an older freezer often is not. Our repair-or-replace guide walks through it.
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.
