Freezer Repair

white freezer Freezer is one of those appliances which cannot simply ‘somewhat work’ – it is really important that your freezer works efficiently and keeps the temperature on the necessary level, whether you live in Los Angeles or Seattle, otherwise the food in your freezer will simply spoil. We would suggest you to call a technician in case your freezer does not work properly or shows the signs of wear, before it is too late.

Here is a list of the most important problems you can encounter with your freezer

Frost building up

frosted freezerThis is an incredibly common issue, however it can be more serious than it seems, since the frost building up can also significantly decrease your freezer’s energy efficiency. If you have a significant amount of frost and ice inside your freezer it is time to take away the products in defrost it. You can do it by simply unplugging your freezer (in case it is a standalone appliance) and letting the chamber warm up. It will cause the ice inside it to melt over the course of several hours. Additionally, you can place a pot with hot water inside the freezer’s chamber to speed up the process. However, if the frost is back in several days – it means you have a more serious issue, which has to be addressed, since it most likely means that the defrosting feature of your freezer has failed. The most common causes for this are problems with the defrost thermostat, defrost timer. It can be also caused by the door gasket not sealing properly.

Strange noise

You do not have to call the ghost busters if you hear the strange noise coming from the freezer – sometimes setting up an appointment with our technician can suffice.  The loud unusual noises can be a result of the malfunctioning evaporator fan motor or fan blades.

Freezer won’t start

Despite this problem is not particularly frequent it may be caused by a number of different issues, oen of which may be the lack of power in the circuit. We would advise you to check the outlet and the breakers. The freezer should be plugged in properly, and sometimes the problem can lie in the house wiring, instead of the malfunctioning appliance. In case there are no power issues, the most likely cause for this is a malfunctioning thermostat or a start capacitor.

Freezer won’t stop running

Despite this problem doesn’t sound as menacing as the previous one, it can still cause you a number of issues, such as frost buildup or improper temperature setting, to say nothing about the inefficient power usage. We would like to remind you that the optimal freezer temperature is 0° F. If your freezer is too cold, the issue most likely lies in the malfunctioning temperature control unit, defrost timer and thermostat, and even the control panel.

Freezer is too warm

Similar to the previous problem, the reason for this can lie in malfunctioning control panel, defrost timer or thermostat. However, the first thing you need to check if your freezer is not cooling properly is how the food is loaded and arranged inside the freezer itself. Take into account that overloading is a thing – there should be a small gap between the food items to allow free air circulation. Sometimes simple rearrangement of the freezer content can solve the issue. Also, make sure that nothing blocks the vents of your freezer. Again, simply removing the item from the vents you may perform only kind of repair your freezer requires.
