Freezer Repair FAQ
Why does my garage freezer stop working in summer?
Most freezers are designed for indoor room temperatures. In a closed garage on a hot Orange County afternoon the condenser cannot shed heat fast enough, so the compressor runs nonstop and can trip its overload. Cleaning the coils, giving the cabinet a few inches of clearance and checking the condenser fan often solves it. Some models are rated garage-ready and tolerate a wider temperature range.
How long will food stay frozen if the freezer fails?
USDA guidance is about 48 hours for a full freezer and about 24 hours for a half-full one, as long as the door stays closed.
Can a chest freezer be repaired?
Yes. Thermostats, start relays, lid gaskets and fans are routine. A leak inside the foamed walls of a chest freezer is usually not economical to repair, and the technician will tell you that before you spend money on it.
How much does freezer repair cost?
The service call fee is quoted before the visit is booked, and you get a written estimate with the total price before any repair starts.
