Common Freezer Problems We Fix

Here’s what our Ottawa technicians repair most often along with what typically causes the problem:

• Freezer not cooling properly

Usually a thermostat or compressor problem, but sometimes it’s just a bad sensor or control board.

• Frost or ice buildup

Defrost heater, timer, or sensor failure leads to too much frost.

• Water leaking on the floor

A clogged defrost drain or cracked drain pan.

• Clicking, buzzing, or rattling sounds

Compressor start relay or evaporator fan motor issue.

• Light works but freezer isn’t cold:

Could be a defective start relay or sealed system issue.

• Runs constantly without shutting off:

Often caused by dirty coils, a bad door seal, or a faulty thermostat.

• Door not sealing tightly:

A worn gasket or misaligned hinge lets warm air in.

• Freezer trips the breaker:

Shorted wiring, bad capacitor, or damaged power cord.

Each repair starts with proper testing – no guessing, no part swapping.

Types of Freezers We Repair

Not all freezers are built the same, and each has its own repair needs. Here’s what we service regularly across Ottawa:

1. Upright Freezers

Common in households and condos- these often develop temperature control and defrost sensor issues. We fix everything from thermostat problems to faulty door seals.

2. Chest Freezers

Excellent for large storage but prone to frost buildup and motor wear. Our team handles lid seal replacements, fan repairs, and refrigerant checks with care.

3. Drawer Freezers

Stylish but complex- drawer freezers often face electrical and control board problems that require specialized tools to diagnose.

4. Built-in & Integrated Freezers

Premium units like Sub-Zero, KitchenAid, Bosch and Thermador need precise repair. We’re trained to handle these high-end models without damaging cabinetry or finish.

5. Commercial & Industrial Freezers

Restaurants, grocery stores and labs across Ottawa rely on heavy-duty units. We repair walk-ins, undercounter freezers, and display units minimizing downtime so your business stays running.

If your freezer shows one of these codes, note it down before unplugging the unit- it helps us identify the fault faster during the service call.

Preventative Freezer Maintenance Tips

A well-maintained freezer not only lasts longer but runs more efficiently. Here’s how to keep yours in top shape:

• Vacuum the coils every 6 months to reduce compressor strain.
• Check door seals regularly, use the paper test (if it slides out easily, replace the gasket).
• Avoid overpacking  as it blocks airflow and forces the unit to overwork.
• Keep it level, uneven placement affects temperature control.
• Set correct temperature about -18°C for optimal freezing.
• Defrost periodically if you have a manual-defrost unit.
• Wipe up spills quickly, melted ice can lead to mold and odours.

We can also perform a quick maintenance inspection during a repair if you’d like – it’s often worth it!
