Repair for chest, upright and drawer freezers that will not freeze, frost up, run constantly or let food thaw.
A freezer in the garage or basement holds months of food, sometimes a whole deer season or a bulk buy. When it fails quietly, the first sign is often a puddle or soft packages, and by then the loss is already underway. Garage freezers in Nashville face another challenge: summer heat that pushes the compressor, and winter cold that confuses some thermostats. Whether yours is a chest, an upright or a drawer freezer in the kitchen, early repair saves food and money.
We check the thermostat, defrost system, evaporator fan, door or lid seal, condenser coil and compressor start parts, and we test the temperature against what the freezer should hold. Frost-free models get a defrost heater, timer and sensor check, and manual defrost units get a thorough cleaning and a seal inspection. We explain each finding, give honest repair or replace advice and test the freezer before we leave.

A weak seal, a bad thermostat, a failing compressor part or a dirty coil are the usual causes.
A failed defrost heater or sensor, or a door that does not seal, lets frost build.
If it still has ice crystals and stayed cold, it is generally safe, but when in doubt throw it out.
Extreme heat is hard on it. Give it space to breathe and keep the coils clean.
