Common Freezer Problems We Repair
Freezer Not Freezing or Too Warm
If your freezer isn't freezing food properly, temperature is above 0°F, ice cream is soft, frost on items is melting, compressor runs constantly but doesn't freeze, or food is thawing, it's typically caused by a failed compressor, low or leaked refrigerant, defective thermostat or temperature control, dirty condenser coils blocking heat dissipation, failed evaporator fan not circulating cold air, frosted evaporator coils blocking airflow, or faulty start relay or overload protector.
Typical repair cost: $200–$600, depending on the compressor condition and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians test compressor operation and amperage, check refrigerant levels and inspect for leaks, test thermostats and temperature controls, clean condenser coils thoroughly, verify evaporator fan operation, defrost frosted coils if needed, examine start components, and replace failed parts with OEM components.
We monitor temperature stabilization to ensure proper freezing.
This ensures your freezer maintains 0°F or below to safely preserve food and prevent spoilage
.
Don't risk losing your frozen food to temperature failure. Our Costa Mesa and Orange County technicians offer same-day service with upfront pricing and guaranteed repairs.

Freezer Not Running or No Power
If your freezer won't turn on at all, has no lights or display, is completely dead, compressor won't start, you hear clicking but it doesn't run, or it trips the circuit breaker repeatedly, it's typically caused by a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse, failed compressor that won't start, defective start relay or capacitor, broken thermostat not calling for cooling, failed control board, or electrical wiring issues.
Typical repair cost: $150–$500, depending on the component and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians check circuit breakers and electrical supply, test the compressor and start components, inspect thermostat operation, examine control boards for failures, check all wiring connections, and replace failed compressors, relays, or boards with OEM parts.

Excessive Frost or Ice Buildup
If your freezer has heavy frost accumulation on walls or food, thick ice buildup on evaporator coils, freezer burn on food items, reduced storage space from ice, door doesn't close properly from ice interference, or you need to defrost frequently, it's typically caused by a faulty door gasket allowing humid air entry, defrost system malfunction, failed defrost timer, broken defrost heater, defective defrost thermostat, door left open or opened too frequently, or damaged door allowing air infiltration.
Typical repair cost: $150–$350, depending on defrost system issues and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians inspect door gaskets for tears or poor seal, test all defrost system components (timer, heater, thermostat), verify proper defrost cycling, check door alignment and closure, examine drain system for clogs, and replace worn gaskets or failed defrost components with OEM parts.

Freezer Making Loud or Unusual Noises
If your freezer makes loud humming or buzzing sounds, produces rattling or vibrating noises, compressor is excessively loud, creates clicking or popping sounds, evaporator fan squeals or grinds, or sounds much louder than normal, it's typically caused by a failing compressor with worn components, defective evaporator or condenser fan motor, ice buildup around evaporator fan, loose or unbalanced fan blade, vibration from improper leveling, failing start relay clicking repeatedly, or loose internal components.
Typical repair cost: $150–$450, depending on the component causing noise and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians diagnose noise sources during operation, inspect compressor condition and mounting, check evaporator and condenser fan motors, look for ice obstructions around fans, verify proper leveling, test start components, tighten loose parts, and replace noisy or failing motors or compressors with OEM parts.

Freezer Door Won't Close or Seal Properly
If your freezer door won't close completely, doesn't seal tightly, pops open on its own, feels loose or misaligned, warm air enters causing frost and temperature issues, door gasket is torn or not sealing, or you see condensation around the door, it's typically caused by a worn or damaged door gasket, misaligned or sagging door hinges, items blocking door closure, improper leveling causing door to swing open, warped door from temperature stress, or failed door closure mechanism.
Typical repair cost: $100–$300, depending on gasket and hinge issues and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians inspect door gaskets for tears and proper magnetic seal, adjust or replace hinges, level the unit properly, check for obstructions, verify door alignment, test closure mechanisms, and replace worn gaskets or damaged hinges with OEM parts.

Freezer Running Constantly or Won't Shut Off
If your freezer runs continuously without cycling off, compressor never stops, electric bill has increased significantly, you hear constant running noise, or the unit is colder than necessary, it's typically caused by dirty condenser coils causing inefficient cooling, low refrigerant requiring longer run times, failed thermostat stuck in cooling mode, door gasket leaks allowing warm air entry, items blocking airflow, thermostat set too cold, or condenser fan motor failure causing overheating.
Typical repair cost: $150–$400, depending on the cause and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians clean condenser coils thoroughly, check refrigerant levels and repair leaks, test thermostat cycling and calibration, inspect door gaskets and seals, verify proper airflow and ventilation clearances, check temperature settings, test condenser fan operation, and replace failed thermostats or components with OEM parts.

Water Leaking from Freezer
If your freezer leaks water onto the floor, you see puddles underneath or around the unit, water drips inside the freezer compartment, ice forms on the floor of the freezer, or moisture accumulates excessively, it's typically caused by a clogged defrost drain line, cracked or frozen drain pan, damaged water supply line (on models with ice makers), failed door gasket allowing humid air and condensation, excessive frost melting faster than drainage, or improper leveling causing water pooling.
Typical repair cost: $100–$300, depending on drain issues and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians clear clogged defrost drains using hot water or tools, inspect and replace cracked drain pans, check water supply connections for leaks, examine door gaskets for proper seal, verify proper unit leveling for drainage, test defrost system operation, and replace damaged components with OEM parts.

Freezer Light Not Working
If your freezer interior light won't turn on, bulb burns out frequently, light flickers, only works intermittently, or you've replaced the bulb but it still doesn't work, it's typically caused by a burned-out light bulb, faulty light socket with poor connections, defective door switch not activating the light, loose wiring to light assembly, or failed control board not sending power to the light circuit.
Typical repair cost: $75–$200, depending on the switch type and parts required.
How we help: Our Costa Mesa technicians test the bulb and socket, inspect socket connections for corrosion, check door switch operation that triggers the light, examine wiring to the light assembly, verify control board signals, and replace faulty bulbs, sockets, or switches with OEM parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is it worth it to repair my appliance?
That's the most common question in our industry.
As a general rule, if your appliance is newer (under 8 years old) and the repair costs less than half of what a new one would cost, it's usually worth fixing. We'll give you an honest assessment and clear repair quote so you can make the best decision.
2. Do you sell appliance parts?
No, we do not sell parts separately.
Parts are only provided when we perform the repair to ensure proper installation and warranty coverage.
3. How long does an appliance repair usually take?
The time required for a repair depends on the issue and the type of appliance.
Most repairs can be completed within 1-2 hours.
For more complex issues or if parts need to be ordered, it may take longer. We’ll always keep you updated on the progress.
4. Do you offer a warranty on your repairs?
Yes, we offer a warranty on both parts and labor.
The exact terms vary depending on the repair, but typically, parts come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and we provide a service guarantee for the work we perform.
5. What should I do if my appliance is still under warranty?
If your appliance is still under warranty, it’s important to contact the manufacturer or the retailer where you purchased it.
We can still assist with the repair, but you may want to verify whether the warranty will cover our services or if it must be handled by the manufacturer’s authorized service provider.
6. Do you install parts that customers provide?
No, we only install parts that we supply.
This ensures quality control and allows us to warranty both the parts and labor. We cannot provide warranty coverage on customer-supplied parts.
7. What types of appliances do you repair?
We repair a wide range of home appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, ovens, stoves, and microwaves. If you’re unsure whether we can fix your specific appliance, feel free to contact us for more information.
