How much does freezer repair cost?
The visit is $99 and it comes off the bill if you go ahead with the repair on the same visit. The repair is quoted in writing first.
My freezer is running but the food is soft.
A freezer a few degrees warm is usually airflow or defrost rather than the compressor — a blocked evaporator, a failed defrost heater, or a fan that has stopped. Those are far cheaper than a sealed-system job.
There is frost building up on the back wall.
That is the defrost circuit, and it is one of three parts: the heater, the timer or board, or the bimetal thermostat. None of them is expensive and all three are a same-visit repair in most cases.
My freezer drawer will not seal properly.
Drawers seal along a runner rather than against a frame. A runner that has dropped a few millimetres frosts the whole cabinet, and realigning it is usually the whole repair.
Can you work on a freezer in the garage?
Yes. A freezer in a Valley garage is working against temperatures it was never rated for, so condenser load and ambient-rated controls are where we start rather than assuming a failed part.
How long will the food last while it is broken?
A full freezer left closed holds for around 48 hours, half-full for about 24. Anything leaking or already thawing goes to the front of our run — tell us when you call.
Do you repair integrated and panel-ready freezers?
Yes, and the panel is usually part of the problem. It adds weight the hinges were set for once and never adjusted since, and door sag shows up as frost long before it shows as a gap.
Is it worth repairing an old freezer?
On a built-in column, almost always — the cabinet outlasts the electronics by decades. On a cheap freestanding unit, sometimes not, and we will say so plainly.
What warranty do you give?
Parts and labour for up to 365 days depending on the part.
Which areas do you cover?
53 cities and neighborhoods across Los Angeles and the Conejo Valley, from the Conejo Valley to Long Beach. The full list is further down this page.
