Chest Freezers

Chest freezers hold large quantities of food and are common in garages and basements. We repair all major chest freezer brands β€” temperature loss, compressor issues, lid seal failures, and more. When your chest freezer goes down, we treat it as the urgent repair it is.

Freezer Compartments in Refrigerators

The freezer section of a refrigerator-freezer combo has its own set of common issues β€” defrost system failures, evaporator coil icing, fan motor problems, and damper issues. Our EPA 608 certified technicians handle refrigerator freezer compartment repairs on all major brands.

Drawer Freezers

Built-in drawer freezers are found in high-end kitchens and require specific knowledge to diagnose and repair. We work on drawer freezer units from Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, and other premium brands.

Garage and Commercial-Grade Freezers

Freezers designed for garage use are built to handle temperature extremes but still need repair from time to time. We repair garage-rated freezers and commercial-grade residential freezers from all major brands.

Built-In and Panel-Ready Freezers

High-end built-in freezers from Sub-Zero, Thermador, Liebherr, and similar brands require a higher level of expertise and EPA 608 certification for sealed system work. Our technicians are trained on these units and handle them with the care they require.

Common Freezer Problems We Fix

Freezer Not Cooling

The most urgent freezer problem we get called about. If your freezer is running but not cold enough, the most common causes are dirty condenser coils, a failing evaporator fan motor, a defrost system failure, or a refrigerant issue. Our EPA 608 certified technicians diagnose sealed system issues correctly and fix the actual cause β€” not just the symptom.

‍

Freezer Frosting Over

Excessive frost buildup inside the freezer almost always points to a defrost system failure β€” a bad defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost timer. It can also be caused by a door seal that is not closing properly and letting warm humid air in. We identify the exact cause and fix it correctly.

‍

Freezer Running Constantly

A freezer that never cycles off is working harder than it should β€” and your energy bill will show it. Usually caused by dirty condenser coils, a failing door gasket letting warm air in, a bad thermostat, or a defrost system issue. We diagnose the root cause and fix it properly.

‍

Freezer Not Running At All

If your freezer will not turn on at all, the issue could be a failed compressor start relay, a bad thermostat, a tripped overload protector, or a control board failure. We run a full diagnostic to find the exact cause before recommending any parts replacement.

‍

Freezer Making Loud Noises

Clicking, buzzing, humming louder than usual, or rattling usually points to a failing compressor, a worn evaporator fan motor bearing, a loose condenser fan blade, or a compressor start relay that is struggling. These issues get worse over time β€” worth addressing before a minor repair becomes a compressor replacement.

‍

Freezer Leaking Water

Water pooling inside or underneath a freezer is usually caused by a clogged defrost drain, a cracked drain pan, or a door seal that is letting warm air in and causing excessive condensation. We find the source fast and fix it before it damages your flooring.

‍

Freezer Door or Lid Not Sealing

A worn or damaged door gasket lets warm air into the freezer, causing temperature loss, excessive frost buildup, and higher energy usage. Door gasket replacement is one of the most common freezer repairs we do and makes a significant difference in how well the unit maintains temperature.

‍

Freezer Temperature Fluctuating

If your freezer temperature is inconsistent β€” cycling between too cold and not cold enough β€” the thermostat or temperature control board is usually the culprit. It can also be a defrost system that is running too frequently. We test the full temperature control system and repair the specific cause.

‍

Freezer Compressor Not Starting

A compressor that clicks and hums but will not start is usually a failed start relay β€” a small inexpensive component that we carry on every truck. If the compressor itself has failed, we will give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your specific unit.

‍

Freezer Burning Smell

A burning smell from your freezer should be taken seriously. It can indicate an overheating compressor, an electrical component failure, or a wiring issue. Stop using the freezer if you smell burning and call us right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does freezer repair cost in Atlanta?

Freezer repair in Atlanta typically ranges between $100 and $400 depending on the issue and parts needed. Common repairs like a start relay replacement, a door gasket, or a defrost heater tend to be on the lower end. Compressor repairs or sealed system work will cost more. We provide a clear upfront quote before any work begins.

Is it worth repairing a freezer or should I replace it?

In most cases if your freezer is under 10 to 12 years old, repair makes more financial sense than replacement. Most freezer repairs cost significantly less than a new unit. Our technicians will always give you an honest repair vs. replace recommendation β€” especially for compressor issues where the math sometimes points toward replacement.

How long does a freezer repair take?

Most freezer repairs are completed in one visit, typically between one and two hours. Common repairs like start relay replacements, door gasket replacements, and defrost heater repairs are almost always done same visit since we carry these parts on every truck.

Why is my freezer not cold enough?

The most common causes are dirty condenser coils restricting airflow, a failing evaporator fan motor not circulating cold air, a defrost system that has failed and let ice build up on the evaporator coils, or in some cases a refrigerant issue. Our EPA 608 certified technicians diagnose sealed system problems correctly and fix the actual cause.

Why is there so much frost in my freezer?

Excessive frost buildup almost always points to a defrost system failure β€” usually a bad defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost timer. It can also be caused by a door seal that is not closing properly and letting warm humid air into the unit. We identify the exact component that has failed and replace it.

How do I know if my freezer compressor is bad?

A failing compressor typically shows up as a freezer that runs constantly but never gets cold enough, makes a loud clicking or humming noise when trying to start, or shuts off shortly after starting. We test the compressor and related components and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes the most financial sense.

Do you repair all freezer brands?

Yes. We repair all major residential freezer brands including Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador, Liebherr, and more. If you do not see your brand listed, give us a call β€” we most likely service it.
