Signs Your Freezer Needs a Technician

  • Door or lid does not seal or pops back open
  • Clicking, buzzing or a loud fan
  • Heavy frost on the back wall or around the door
  • Freezer runs constantly but stays warm

Why Freezers Stop Freezing

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.
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 Port Clinton

Thermostat and controlMechanical thermostats and electronic controls are tested against the temperature they should be holding before either is replaced.
Start componentsIf the compressor hums but will not run, the start relay and overload are tested before anyone looks at the compressor itself.
Condenser coilsDusty condenser coils are cleaned so the system can shed heat. Freezers in garages and basements collect dust and lint quickly.

Freezer Repair FAQs: Port Clinton, OH

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.
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.
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.
