Freezers
A faulty freezer can lead to spoiled food, unexpected expenses, and major inconvenience—especially when you’re storing bulk groceries or prepared meals. Whether it’s not freezing, leaking, or frosting over, prompt professional repair is key to keeping things frozen and frustration-free.
Common Issues
If items aren’t freezing, it could be a faulty thermostat, a failing compressor, or dirty condenser coils. The technician will test the cooling system and replace or clean as needed.
Frost forming on walls or food usually signals a defrost system failure—like a bad defrost heater or timer. Replacing the failed component prevents over-freezing and restores normal function.
Loud humming, buzzing, or clicking can mean the evaporator fan motor is failing or ice is obstructing airflow. Technicians inspect the fan and clear or replace any damaged parts.
If warm air is getting in, the door gasket may be worn or torn. Replacing the gasket restores the seal, prevents frost buildup, and keeps the temperature stable.
This is typically due to a clogged or frozen defrost drain. The repair involves clearing the blockage and ensuring proper drainage.
Tips for Maintenance and Extended Lifespan of Freezers
If your freezer isn’t frost-free, regular defrosting prevents ice buildup that can restrict airflow and overwork the compressor.
A well-stocked freezer maintains temperature more efficiently. Just avoid blocking vents and leave room for air circulation.
A tight seal keeps cold air in and moisture out. Clean the gasket regularly and replace it if it’s cracked or not sealing properly.
