Should You Repair or Replace Your Freezer?
Freezers are relatively simple machines compared to washers, meaning a repair is often very successful, long-lasting and makes the most sense. If the compressor is still humming but the temp is rising, it’s usually a minor component failure. But if your freezer is over 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or has a major issues replacement might be better long-term. We'll give you a straight answer on whether your unit is worth the fix.

FAQ
This is often caused by airflow issues, a faulty evaporator fan, or a defrost system problem. It usually means cold air isn’t circulating properly into the freezer compartment.
Most freezers last about 10 to 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. After that, breakdowns become more frequent and efficiency usually drops.
Common signs include frost buildup, condensation around the door, and the freezer running more often than usual. You may also feel cold air escaping when the door is closed.
Generally, a full standalone freezer will keep food safe for about 48 hours if the door remains closed (24 hours if it’s only half full). If you notice the temperature rising, call us immediately, we prioritize freezer calls to help you save your grocery investment.
This usually points to a failure in the automatic defrost system, likely a blown defrost heater, a faulty timer, or a bad thermistor. If the freezer can't melt its own internal frost, the ice will eventually block the airflow and stop the unit from cooling altogether.
While freezers run often, they should cycle off. If yours never stops, it’s likely due to dirty condenser coils, a failing door seal letting warm air in, or a low refrigerant charge. This puts massive strain on the compressor and will significantly spike your electricity bill.
This is typically caused by a frozen or clogged defrost drain tube. When the freezer goes through its defrost cycle, the melted water has nowhere to go and overflows into the bottom of the unit or onto your kitchen floor. We can clear these lines and ensure the drain heater is functioning.
Yes. A clicking sound usually indicates the compressor is trying to start but failing, often due to a faulty "start relay." A loud humming or buzzing usually points to an obstructed evaporator fan. Replacing these small parts early can prevent a total compressor burnout.
