When your freezer stops maintaining 0°F, the cause is typically a failing thermostat, dirty condenser coils, or a compressor on its way out. We diagnose the root cause and fix it the same day.
Auto-defrost freezers should never accumulate heavy frost. When they do, the defrost heater, defrost timer, or defrost thermostat has failed. We test all three components and replace the faulty one.
A freezer that cycles between too warm and too cold may have a failing thermostat, intermittent compressor, or a door seal that is not holding. Temperature swings cause freezer burn and food degradation.
A constant loud hum often means the compressor is struggling to start or the condenser fan motor is failing. A clicking sound after startup usually indicates a bad start relay — a quick and inexpensive fix.
Freezer burn is a symptom, not the problem. It indicates the freezer has been running above 0°F or experiencing temperature swings. We identify the underlying cause — usually a door seal or thermostat issue.
A compromised door gasket allows warm, humid air to enter constantly, causing rapid frost buildup and a struggling compressor. Gasket replacement is one of the most cost-effective freezer repairs available.

The most common causes are a failed thermostat, dirty condenser coils preventing heat dissipation, or a compressor that has stopped running. We diagnose all three on the first visit and carry replacement thermostats and relays on the truck.
Signs of a bad compressor include: the freezer feels warm to the touch, you hear clicking but the unit never cools down, or the unit is completely silent when it should be running. We can test compressor output with our diagnostic equipment.
For manual-defrost chest freezers, some frost accumulation is normal and expected — you defrost it periodically. For auto-defrost upright freezers, visible frost buildup is not normal and signals a failed defrost component that needs attention.
Usually yes, especially if the failure is recent. A start relay failure, for example, causes sudden complete shutdown and is a $30–$60 part. The sooner you call, the better — prolonged non-operation with refrigerant issues can lead to more damage.
Most freezer repairs in Charlotte range from $100 to $350. Simple fixes like a start relay or door gasket are on the low end. Defrost system repairs typically run $120–$200. Compressor work is higher and we will assess whether it makes economic sense for your unit.
