Freezer repair in Largo & Kettering
Detached houses in Kettering and Springdale often keep a standalone freezer in the garage or finished basement for bulk shopping, and some townhouse owners squeeze an upright into a garage bay beside the car. An attached garage in 20774 can bake in July and dip near freezing on a January night, and a freezer not rated for those swings struggles at both ends.
What we test when a freezer stops freezing
We read the cabinet temperature, then check the lid or door gasket for gaps, since a seal leak lets warm, humid air in and builds frost that blocks cooling. A frost-free upright gets its evaporator fan, defrost heater, defrost thermostat and control tested next. A chest freezer has no fan inside, so its cold plate, thermostat and condenser get the attention, along with the compressor's start relay and overload. A freezer that runs constantly with a warm cabinet points us to the condenser and its fan.
Garage freezers between seasons
A garage freezer should sit a few inches from walls and boxes, away from the water heater or a sunny door. Check the drain plug on a chest model; one left open lets cold air spill and frost the lid.

Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Frost on the rear panel usually means the defrost system is not clearing the coil behind it, so the heater, the defrost thermostat or the timing control has failed. A worn gasket can add to it. We test the defrost parts with a meter and check the seal before deciding.
