Your Local Trusted Technicians

A broken freezer hits home, literally. You’re not just losing groceries, you’re dealing with mess, odor, and the hassle of replacing what you just bought. You need someone who can actually fix it, not just show up, poke around and call it a day. Our team have been professionally repairing appliances in Jacksonville for years, so we know the common problems that come with the heat and humidity. We don’t waste your time with generic diagnostics. We come ready to solve the real issue, fast, so your food stays frozen.

Here’s what makes us different:

We focus on residential freezers, standalone, fridge-freezer combos, garage units,and know the quirks of every major brand. If it’s freezing or not freezing, we’ve seen it.

We troubleshoot fast and accurately, and come prepared with a van full of common parts, so you’re not stuck waiting weeks just for 1 part.

Our repairs take into consideration local weather conditions to make sure that your freezer remains dependable rather than merely being temporarily fixed.

Most Common Freezer Problems We Fix

Freezers seem simple, keep things cold, done. But inside, they’re a tight system of coils, fans, seals, and electronics that all have to work together. When one piece stumbles, the whole thing falls apart. Thanks to Florida’s heat, those parts work harder and fail faster. We don’t just swap parts and hope, we figure out why it broke, so it doesn’t happen again next month.

Here are the issues we see most during our freezer repairs:

A little frost is normal. A foot of ice? Not. Usually means the defrost system, timer, heater, or thermostat, isn’t cycling right. When it fails, moisture never gets cleared, and your freezer turns into a glacier.

It’s not always the compressor causing your ice cream to turn to soup. It might be a refrigerant leak, a clogged condenser coil, or a malfunctioning evaporator fan that prevents cold air from circulating.

That rubber gasket around your freezer door? It’s not just trim, it’s what keeps cold air in and humid Florida air out. When it cracks, warps, or gets grimy, your freezer runs nonstop trying to compensate.

Is there a continuous hum that wasn’t there before, or is it buzzing or grinding? It might be a malfunctioning compressor motor, the evaporator fan striking ice, or even a loose component vibrating against the cabinet.

Freezers don’t use water, so leaks usually mean a clogged defrost drain. When melted frost can’t escape, it spills out the bottom. In older homes, that drain often gets blocked by dust or mold.

Your freezer’s compressor is its central component. It may not be a dead compressor if it is silent when it should be operating; instead, it may be a tripped thermal overload, a bad start relay, or an electrical problem.

If it never turns off, there may be a malfunctioning thermostat sending incorrect signals, a dirty coil, a bad door seal, or something else forcing it to overwork. This quickly burns out the compressor if left unchecked.

Types of Freezers We Repair

The freezer in your kitchen, garage, or dorm room has its own characteristics, age, and stress points. Built-in freezer drawers in newer condos have completely different electronics than traditional chest freezers, and a small dorm-style unit handles far less than a 20-year-old upright in a family home. Having worked on them all over Jacksonville, we are aware of the common issues with each kind.

Here are the freezer types we fix all the time:

  • Upright Freezers
  • Chest Freezers
  • Freezer-Top Refrigerators
  • Bottom-Freezer & Side-by-Side Models
  • Built-In & Drawer Freezers
  • Compact & Apartment-Sized Freezers

Troubleshooting Freezer Issues

Before you call us for our freezer repair services, you want to make sure it’s not a serious problem. Completely reasonable. Just remember that freezers contain electrical components, refrigerant, and systems that aren’t designed for DIY maintenance or repairs. We DO NOT recommend trying to fix it yourself. However, you can avoid a service call by first checking a few small items.

These are not our recommendations, but simply things others have done before, so use at your own risk.

  • Check the power: Make sure the plug’s fully seated, the outlet’s working, and that a GFCI outlet somewhere nearby didn’t trip, common in garages and kitchens.
  • Give the door seal a once-over: Grab a dollar bill, close it in the door, and tug. If it slips out easy, the seal’s weak or dirty. If it’s dirty give it a clean, if it’s weak call us.
  • Make sure it’s not overloaded or blocked: Stuffing a freezer too full can block internal airflow, especially around the evaporator vents (usually at the back or top).
  • Listen for the fan: Open the freezer and listen. You should hear a faint hum or fan running. If it’s dead silent and warm inside, there’s no power.
  • Avoid tampering with the thermostat: Setting it to “max cold” will only cause additional stress on the system and won’t repair a malfunctioning part.

Commercial Washer Repair Questions

When your commercial washer breaks down, it’s normal to have questions, especially when you’re dealing with urgent repairs. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our customers ask.

If it’s brand new or was just defrosted, give it 4 to 12 hours to hit proper freezing temps (0°F or lower). But if it’s been running and suddenly stopped cooling, and still isn’t cold after 24 hours, that’s a problem. Could be a failed part, not just “needing time.”

It depends. If it’s under 10 years old and the issue is a common part (like a defrost heater or fan), repair almost always makes sense. But if it’s older, uses R-12 refrigerant, or the compressor’s shot? Replacement might be smarter. We’ll tell you honestly, we’ve walked away from jobs where a new unit made more sense.

A full freezer stays cold about 48 hours if you keep the door shut. A half-full one? More like 24. After that, food starts thawing fast, especially in Jacksonville’s heat. If the power’s out longer than a day, move perishables to ice or a neighbor’s freezer if you can.

Not a ton, but they’re not “set and forget.” Wipe down the gasket a few times a year, vacuum dust off the coils (usually on the back or bottom), and check that the lid seal is tight. In humid climates like ours, mold can sneak into seals or the drain area if it’s never cleaned.

Even cold air holds odors. Spills freeze but don’t disappear. Forgotten food gets frostbitten and funky. Sometimes, it’s mold in the door gasket or a clogged defrost drain trapping old water. A good clean helps, but if the smell comes back fast, there’s likely a hidden spill or failing part causing moisture buildup.
