Freezer Problems Worth a Service Call

  • Freezer is too cold and freezing everything solid
  • An error code or temperature alarm
  • Freezer runs constantly but stays warm
  • Food is soft or ice cream will not stay firm

Why Freezers Stop Freezing

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.
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.
Thermostat and controlsA temperature control or sensor that fails can leave the compressor off, running nonstop or cycling at the wrong point.

How a Freezer Service Call Usually Goes in Greenbelt

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.
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.
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 samsung freezer not working or not freezing or lg freezer not freezing.

Freezer Safety Notes

Children can become trapped and suffocate in old, unused refrigerators; remove the doors before storing or discarding one, or chain and padlock a door that cannot be removed. Source: CPSC - CPSC Warns About Children Suffocating in Old, Unused Refrigerators

Manual-defrost freezers use about half the energy of automatic-defrost models, but only if they are defrosted before frost reaches about a quarter inch. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers

What Freezer Repair Costs in Greenbelt

Before replacing a freezer in Greenbelt, price the repair. Here is what published cost guides report for common jobs:

For a newer built-in ice maker, replacing just the failed motor may be the best option, while on some older units a motor costs about as much as a new ice maker. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair an ice maker?

Ranges are published estimates, not quotes. See the freezer repair cost guide and when to repair or replace.

Around Greenbelt

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

Maryland does not issue a separate appliance repair license; the Maryland Board of Plumbing licenses plumbers, natural gas fitters and propane gas fitters, whose trades cover gas connections. Source: License Requirements - Maryland Board of Plumbing (Maryland Department of Labor)

In Maryland, you can check a license with the Maryland Department of Labor occupational license search (Board of Plumbing) or report a problem to the Maryland Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.

Before You Book in Greenbelt

  • 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?
  • Do you work on chest and upright freezers as well as refrigerator freezers?

Freezer Repair FAQs: Greenbelt, MD

Do you repair chest and upright freezers?
Yes. Standalone chest and upright freezers use the same basic parts as the freezer section of a refrigerator: a compressor, condenser, evaporator, thermostat or control and, on frost-free models, a defrost system. Mention the type and whether it is manual or frost-free when you call.
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.
What temperature should my freezer be set to?
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.
