Chest freezers are mechanically simple. When one stops cooling, the cause is usually a failed start relay, a failed thermostat, or a refrigerant leak.
Start Relay Failure: Provides a brief high-current pulse to start the compressor. When it fails, the compressor clicks repeatedly without starting. Shake it — if it rattles, it has failed.
Frost-free upright freezers run automatic defrost cycles. When the defrost heater, thermostat, or timer fails, frost accumulates until it blocks airflow entirely.
Sub-Zero, Thermador, and KitchenAid built-in freezer columns require specific training and parts access. Repair almost always makes sense given replacement cost.
A full freezer holds safe temperature 24–48 hours with doors closed. Add dry ice or bag ice to buy more time if needed.
We carry parts for all major brands on the truck. Call with your model number for parts confirmation.
