Freezer Repair
Not freezing, iced over, or running non-stop — chest and upright freezers, diagnosed and fixed.
Standalone freezers fail in their own specific ways — heavy frost buildup, a door seal that's lost its grip, or a compressor that runs constantly without ever reaching temperature. We diagnose the actual cause before quoting anything.
Typical repair range: $100–$380 · Covers most defrost system, thermostat, and door seal repairs. Sealed-system work runs higher.

FAQ
Freezer Repair questions, answered
Why does my freezer build up so much ice inside?
Usually a failing defrost heater, timer, or thermostat that isn't cycling the automatic defrost properly, or a door seal that's letting in humid air. We check both during the diagnostic.
Do you repair chest freezers as well as upright models?
Yes, both — the diagnostic approach is similar, though access and part locations differ.
Is a second freezer in the garage harder to service?
Not harder to service, but garage temperature swings can be part of why it's struggling — we'll factor that into the diagnosis.
My freezer is humming louder than usual — is that urgent?
Not necessarily an emergency, but a change in sound is worth having checked before it becomes a full stoppage and a freezer full of spoiled food.
