Common Freezer Problems We Solve

Freezers might look simple, but there’s actually a bunch of complicated electronic parts that keep them working. Our experienced team of appliance repair experts have been fixing freezers for years, so we know what the common issues are and how to fix them.

Ice Buildup

The defrost heater and thermostat work together to melt frost off the evaporator coils, so if one of them is broken, it’ll cause frost.

Leaky Water

Freezer leaks often trace back to a blocked defrost drain. When the drain line freezes or gets clogged with debris, melted frost has nowhere to go and eventually spills out onto the floor.

Freezer Not Cold Enough

Temperature problems usually start with the evaporator fan or thermistor. The fan pushes cold air around, while thermistors (temperature sensors) can tell your freezer that it’s colder than it is.

Ice Maker Not Working

If it’s not producing ice, the water inlet valve may not be opening properly, or the built-in thermostat isn’t recognizing that the cubes are fully frozen and ready to drop.

Strange Noises

Buzzing, clicking, or rattling typically points to worn parts inside the sealed system or issues with the evaporator or condenser fans. The compressor can also be loud when it’s struggling to stay cool.

Freezer Not Turning On

If the freezer is completely unresponsive, the start relay or control board is usually the root of the issue. The start relay helps the compressor fire up, and when it fails, the freezer won’t cool at all.

FAQs:

Should I get my freezer repaired or replaced?

Most freezers can be repaired cost-effectively, especially when the issue is tied to a thermostat, fan motor, control board, or a failed gasket. Replacement is worth considering when the unit is very old (15–20+ years), has repeated breakdowns, or has a sealed system failure that approaches the cost of a new appliance.

Why is there a smell from my freezer?

Bad odours usually come from something interrupting proper airflow or temperature balance. Spoiled food, a blocked drain, or a worn door seal that lets warm air in can all create moisture pockets where bacteria grow.

How long can a freezer stay cold without power?

A full freezer typically stays cold for 48 hours if the door stays shut. A half-full freezer usually holds for around 24 hours. Keeping the door closed makes the biggest difference, since every opening releases cold air and speeds up thawing.

What maintenance can I do?

A few simple habits keep a freezer running smoothly:
• Wipe down the door gasket regularly so it seals tightly.
• Give the freezer a little space from the wall so the condenser can vent heat properly.
• Defrost if you notice ice starting to build up along the walls.
• Keep it reasonably full, frozen items help stabilize temperature.
These small steps prevent strain on the compressor and help the freezer stay efficient.

Do your repairs come with a warranty?

Yes. Every repair comes with a warranty on both parts and labour.
