Common Freezer Problems We Service

We also provide routine freezer maintenance services to keep your appliance running efficiently. If you own a business, trust our commercial freezer repair services to keep your appliances up and running.

Here are some of the most common freezer problems we address:

• The freezer won’t turn on: A freezer that won't turn on will cause food to spoil, which can be very costly. A defective compressor or failing electrical board could be to blame. This requires a quick replacement to ensure your freezer continues operating and prevents food from spoiling.
• The freezer is too cold: If your appliance overcools, you may suddenly wonder why frost is building up in your freezer. Underlying issues, like a faulty defrost timer, defrost control board, or thermostat, might be the cause.
• The freezer is not cooling: If your freezer is not cooling, it could be caused by human error, a failing door seal, or other issues.
• The freezer is fluctuating in temperature: If the temperature fluctuates in your freezer, it can cause food spoilage. A Mr. Appliance professional will quickly diagnose the issue and replace any necessary parts to ensure your freezer maintains the proper temperature.
• The door seals are defective or damaged: A damaged seal leads to energy waste and freezer frost buildup. If there is an issue, replacing a freezer seal is critical, as damaged door seals can lead to water leaking onto your kitchen floor.
• The freezer makes noises: Frequent, unusual noises could indicate a compressor or motor issues. Our service professionals can quickly identify the problem before your freezer completely fails, saving food from spoiling.
• The freezer has an ice buildup problem: If your freezer is coated in ice, it may be caused by a defrost system malfunction, which will require servicing.

Pro Tip: If your freezer is located in the garage, make sure the appliance has adequate space to ensure proper ventilation.

FAQ About Freezer Repair

We don't always realize how much we rely on an appliance until it malfunctions, and freezer repair can be tricky. Here are some of the most common questions we receive regarding freezer repair.

Is It Worth Repairing a Freezer?

The initial cost of a freezer generally makes repairing a freezer rather than replacing it a more cost-effective option. Even a freezer that is a decade old is worth repairing, depending on the issue. Talk with a service professional about the type and cost of the repair before you make a final decision.

How Do I Defrost a Freezer?

To defrost your freezer, remove all food from the freezer and place it in coolers for storage, place towels all around the freezer, then unplug the freezer and allow the ice to melt. Once all the ice has melted, clean the freezer and plug it back in. Make sure it reaches the correct temperature before returning your food.

Is It Possible To Fix a Freezer?

Yes, it is very possible to fix a malfunctioning freezer. A freezer may stop working due to a failing component, which a trained service professional can swap out. In many cases, it is more cost-efficient to repair a freezer than it is to purchase a new one.
