Freezer problems we fix every day
Freezer not freezing or running warm
The usual causes are a failed start relay on the compressor, a dirty or dead condenser fan, or a sealed-system leak. Relay and fan repairs are routine and typically land between $150 and $300; a sealed-system leak is a different conversation and often tips the math toward replacement.
Heavy frost buildup on the walls or coils
A thick frost wall almost always means the defrost system has quit: a burned-out defrost heater, a failed defrost thermostat, or a bad defrost timer or control board. Frigidaire uprights are especially known for this. The technician tests each component in the circuit and replaces the failed one, usually in a single visit.
Freezer runs constantly and won't shut off
Constant running points to a worn door gasket letting warm air in, dirty condenser coils, or a thermostat that has drifted out of range. Gasket and thermostat replacements are inexpensive fixes that also cut the electric bill, since a freezer running nonstop can double its energy use.
Freezer is loud, buzzing, or clicking
A clicking sound every few minutes is the classic sign of a failing start relay trying and failing to launch the compressor, common on GE units. Buzzing or rattling usually traces to the evaporator or condenser fan motor. Both are same-day repairs; a compressor that clicks but never starts needs attention before the food thaws.
Freezer leaking water or ice on the floor
A clogged defrost drain is the most common cause: meltwater backs up, refreezes, and eventually escapes onto the floor. On built-in freezer drawers like Sub-Zero, evaporator icing produces the same puddle. Clearing and treating the drain line is a quick, low-cost repair.
Chest freezer temperature swings or thaw-refreeze cycles
Ice crystals on packages and partially thawed food point to thermostat drift, a tired lid gasket, or intermittent compressor starts. Kenmore and older chest freezers commonly need a new cold control. Caught early, this is a cheap fix that saves a freezer full of food.

Repair or replace your freezer?
Start relays, defrost heaters, thermostats, fan motors, and gaskets run $150 to $350 to fix, against $500 to $900 for a comparable new chest or upright freezer. Under 10 years old, repair is almost always the right call. The exception is the sealed system: a compressor or refrigerant leak repair can run $500 or more, which rarely makes sense on a basic freezer past 8 years. Built-ins like Sub-Zero are the reverse: replacement cost is high enough that even sealed-system work is usually worth doing.

Freezer repair FAQ
How much does freezer repair cost?
Most freezer repairs land between $150 and $350 installed, covering the common failures: relays, defrost parts, fan motors, thermostats, and gaskets. Sealed-system work (compressors and refrigerant leaks) runs $400 to $700.
How long can food stay frozen while I wait for repair?
A full freezer holds safe temperature for roughly 48 hours unopened; a half-full one, about 24. Keep the door closed and don't add warm food. If we can't get a technician out before that window closes, we'll say so on the phone so you can move food to coolers or a neighbor's freezer.
Why is my freezer running but not freezing?
If the compressor hums but the box stays warm, the usual suspects are a dead evaporator fan, a fully frosted evaporator coil from a failed defrost system, or a refrigerant leak. The first two are affordable same-visit repairs; a leak requires sealed-system work and a repair-versus-replace conversation.
Is there anything I can check before calling?
Yes. Confirm the outlet has power by plugging in a lamp, check that the temperature dial wasn't bumped, and pull the unit out to vacuum the condenser coils if they're matted with dust. Dirty coils alone cause a surprising share of warm-freezer calls. If it still won't cool after that, it's a technician job.
Do you repair chest freezers and garage freezers?
Yes, both chest and upright freezers, including units kept in garages. Note that many freezers struggle in unconditioned spaces because the thermostat reads ambient air; if that's the root cause we'll tell you rather than sell you a part you don't need. We service Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Sub-Zero, and most other brands.
