Safety Before Any Repair
The Refrigerator Safety Act requires household refrigerators to have a door mechanism, usually a magnetic latch, that lets the door be opened from the inside, so older latch-door units carelessly stored or discarded where children can reach them remain a suffocation hazard.

Chest freezers are usually more efficient than uprights because their top-opening lid lets less cold air escape. Source: ENERGY STAR - Freezers
Freezer Repair Cost Ranges
A freezer repair is usually a fan, a defrost part, a control or a gasket plus labor. Reference ranges from published cost guides:
- Evaporator fan motor (defrost motor): $100–$440 Source: ConsumerAffairs - Cost to Repair a Freezer
- Defrost timer: $100–$225 Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?
- Door gasket replacement: $150–$500 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Diagnostic fee (often deducted from the final bill): $50–$100 per visit Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
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?
