Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

  • Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
  • Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
  • Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
  • Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm

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.

During a power outage, an unopened refrigerator keeps food cold for about 4 hours; a full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours and a half-full freezer for about 24 hours if the door stays shut. Source: USDA FSIS - A Consumer's Guide to Food Safety: Severe Storms and Hurricanes

What Usually Goes Wrong

Evaporator and condenser fansOne fan moves cold air through the freezer and another cools the condenser. A fan that stops, or one that has frozen in place, is a frequent cause of a freezer that runs but does not freeze.
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.
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.

What a Freezer Technician Checks

Temperature and airflowThe technician measures the actual freezer temperature, checks that vents inside are not blocked by food or frost and listens for the evaporator fan.
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.
Condenser coilsDusty condenser coils are cleaned so the system can shed heat. Freezers in garages and basements collect dust and lint quickly.

Before You Book in Burley

  • Do you work on chest and upright freezers as well as refrigerator freezers?
  • How often do you repair your brand freezers, and how quickly can you get parts?
  • Is the technician certified to handle refrigerant if the problem turns out to be a leak or the compressor?

Freezer Repair FAQs: Burley, ID

Why is there so much frost in my freezer?
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.
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.
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.
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.
