Common freezer problems
Why is your freezer not holding temperature?
Airflow, defrost, sensors, door sealing, compressor operation, and controls work together. We test the complete cooling system before recommending a repair.
Heavy frost buildup
A failed heater, thermostat, sensor, drain, fan, or door seal can cover the evaporator with ice and block airflow.
Runs continuously
The freezer may run without reaching temperature because of heat gain, poor airflow, weak cooling, or incorrect sensing.
Will not start
The controls may respond while cooling never begins, or the freezer may appear completely dead.
Buzzing or rattling noise
A fan motor, ice obstruction, compressor mount, start device, tubing, or loose panel can create unusual noise.
Cycles on and off repeatedly
A start-device, compressor, sensor, control, overheating, or electrical problem can cause short cycling.
Water leaking underneath
A blocked or frozen defrost drain, damaged pan, water connection, or melting frost can create a leak.
Error codes
The display may report temperature, defrost, fan, door, sensor, compressor, or communication faults.

Repair or replace?
Repair decisions should consider temperature loss, sealed-system condition, and appliance age
A warm freezer or frost-covered evaporator does not automatically require replacement. We identify the failed system before you invest in a new appliance.
Repair may make sense
The freezer is otherwise dependable and the fault involves a fan, sensor, heater, gasket, start device, control, or another serviceable component.
Replacement may be smarter
There is severe cabinet damage, repeated sealed-system failure, extensive corrosion, or critical parts are unavailable.
Protect frozen food and flooring
Move food to safe cold storage and unplug the freezer if wiring overheats, water reaches electrical parts, or the compressor repeatedly struggles to start.

Answers before your service visit
Tell us the freezer type, current temperature, frost pattern, and any displayed code. Those details help us prepare.
Call 949-382-0942Why is my freezer running but not freezing?
Possible causes include blocked airflow, a failed fan, defrost problem, sensor, start device, compressor, sealed-system, or control fault.
Why is frost covering the back panel?
Frost on the evaporator cover often points to a defrost heater, thermostat, sensor, control, drain, fan, or door-seal problem.
