There are a few common freezer troubles that don’t need a repair company to come in. Whether it be a stand-alone freezer or a freezer and fridge combination, you’ll always need to act quickly, if you don’t want to throw out your food, so it’s a good idea to learn some of the basics for when you need to place that repair call.

Trouble With The Automatic Defrost Option

If this stops working for you, you should check the thermostat, defrost heater and defrost timer. But if all of those seem to be working correctly, you’ll need to call in a professional to take a look.

A Malfunctioning Compressor

Every freezer has a compressor that decreases the gas volume and increases the pressure, but when that thing breaks on your, it’s not good. Your freezer may stop cooling or just not work at all. Fixing that will need a professional appliance repair service in San Diego County.

The Condenser Stopped Working

If your freezer doesn’t cool properly any longer, you should check the condenser. It’s the part of the freezer that is responsible for condensing vapor into liquid and keeping the air cold. This condenser has a fan that should be cleaned frequently to keep it from getting dirty. However, if you’ve kept the fan clean and the condenser continues to stop working, you’ll need to place a call to the repair service people.

The Evaporator Is Causing Trouble

This component turn liquid into gas and when it breaks, can stop the unit from cooling. Fixing this will also require a professional to come in and take a look. No matter what the problem, it never hurts to take a look yourself. However, do not fiddle with any wiring or start taking apart your freezer. You may break something important which could force you to purchase an entirely new freezer or at least heighten the repair costs. It’s safer to call in a professional and let them take a look and fix what is broken. Contact us:
