Types of freezers we repair

Freezers come in many shapes and sizes, from compact units to large built-ins, and each has its own common issues. At Trusted Appliance Repair LLC, our certified technicians are trained to service all types of freezers found in North Carolina homes. Whether you’re dealing with uneven cooling, frost buildup, or electrical problems, we’ll quickly identify the issue and restore your freezer to peak performance.

Upright Freezers

Common in homes and garages, these vertical freezers can develop temperature control issues or frost buildup. We repair thermostat problems, door seal damage, and defrost system failures to keep them working efficiently.

Chest Freezers

Spacious and energy-efficient, chest freezers sometimes suffer from lid seal leaks, compressor issues, or frost accumulation. Our technicians inspect and repair these problems to restore full cooling performance.

Built-In Freezers

Luxury built-in models require precise maintenance and repairs. We handle electronic control issues, compressor failures, and temperature fluctuations with brand-certified parts and tools.

Drawer Freezers

Modern and space-saving, drawer-style freezers are prone to sliding track damage, wiring issues, and cooling irregularities. We provide quick, effective repairs to ensure smooth operation.

Compact & Mini Freezers

Perfect for offices, dorms, or small kitchens, but they’re not immune to thermostat or fan failures. We fix cooling inconsistencies and restore reliable operation for smaller units.

Common issues include:

Freezer Not Cooling Properly

If your freezer isn’t cold enough, it may have a faulty compressor, defrost timer, or thermostat. We perform full diagnostics and restore optimal temperature fast.

Excessive Frost or Ice Buildup

Too much frost usually indicates a defrost system failure, bad gasket, or door not sealing properly. We clean, replace, and recalibrate components for balanced airflow.

Freezer Leaking Water

Leaks often come from blocked defrost drains or cracked water lines. We locate and fix the source to prevent future floor damage.

Freezer Making Strange Noises

Buzzing, clicking, or knocking sounds often point to fan or motor problems. We replace worn parts to keep your freezer running quietly.

Freezer Constantly Running

When your freezer never turns off, it’s wasting energy and wearing out the compressor. We check temperature sensors, thermostats, and control boards to fix the problem.

Freezer Not Turning On

Power failure? Tripped breaker? Faulty control board? We troubleshoot electrical issues and restore full operation safely.

Door Seal or Gasket Damage

A worn or loose gasket causes cold air leaks and higher energy bills. We install new seals to maintain efficiency and food safety.

Freezer Over-Freezing or Too Cold

When items freeze too hard or frost forms everywhere, it may be a thermostat or damper issue. We adjust settings and replace sensors as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Freezer Problems

Why is my freezer not freezing but the light is on?
If your freezer is running but not freezing, it’s likely a problem with the compressor, evaporator fan, or thermostat. Sometimes, a buildup of frost or blocked air vents can restrict cold airflow. Our technicians can diagnose the cause and restore proper cooling quickly.
Why does my freezer keep frosting up?
Frost buildup usually happens when warm air enters the freezer through a damaged door gasket or when the defrost heater isn’t working properly. Cleaning the door seal and ensuring it closes tightly can help, but if the frost returns, a professional defrost system check is needed.
What causes my freezer to make loud noises?
Rattling, buzzing, or clicking sounds often come from worn evaporator fan motors or a failing compressor. It’s best to have a technician inspect it before it leads to more serious damage or complete motor failure.
Why is water leaking from under my freezer?
Leaks are commonly caused by a blocked defrost drain or cracked water line. As the ice melts, the water has nowhere to go and ends up pooling underneath the unit. We can unclog the drain and replace damaged tubes to stop the leak for good.
Why is my freezer running all the time?
If your freezer never turns off, it could mean the thermostat or temperature sensor is stuck, or the coils are dirty and forcing the compressor to overwork. Cleaning the condenser coils and recalibrating the thermostat usually fixes it, we handle both during service.
How often should I defrost my freezer?
Manual-defrost freezers should be defrosted about every 3–6 months or when frost buildup reaches ¼ inch thick. Frost-free models do this automatically, but even they benefit from occasional maintenance to keep efficiency high.
What’s the average lifespan of a freezer?
A well-maintained freezer typically lasts between 12 and 20 years, depending on the brand and model. Regular cleaning of coils, door seals, and vents helps extend its lifespan and prevent expensive repairs.
Should I repair or replace my old freezer?
If your freezer is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is under 50% of replacement value, repair is usually the smarter choice. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on your unit’s condition and energy efficiency.
