Freezer Repair — Book a Visit Today
We repair freezers across metro Atlanta and the surrounding counties, and most calls come in after someone finds soup where the ice cream was or a sheet of frost across the bottom of the bin. A freezer fails quietly. The usual causes are a clogged defrost drain, a failed defrost heater or thermostat, a tired evaporator fan, a door gasket that lost its seal, or a condenser coil packed with Atlanta dust and pollen. Sealed-system leaks happen too. Our visit starts with temperatures at the vents, then airflow, then the defrost cycle, then the compressor side. We explain what we find in plain words before any part goes in. Tell us your area when you call us and we'll set a window that works.

After the visit, in their words
“Their guy caught a kinked drain hose the installer left behind years ago. Dishes finally come out clean.”
Ron E.Greensboro, NC“Booked for the washer, and he also tightened the dryer door latch without being asked. No extra line item.”
May L.Winston-Salem, NC“Old house, old wiring, cranky range. The tech worked around all of it without complaining once.”
Herb W.Columbus, GAFreezer Repair — quick answers
My freezer is cold but not frozen. Is that fixable?
Usually yes. Partial cooling often points to airflow: a frosted evaporator, a stalled fan, or a defrost part that quit. Those are common repairs. We measure air temperature at the vents and check the defrost cycle before deciding anything.
Why does frost keep coming back after I defrost it?
Manual defrosting melts the ice, not the cause. If the heater, bimetal thermostat, or control fails, frost rebuilds within days. A door gasket leaking humid air does the same thing. We test the defrost circuit to find out which one it is.
Should I throw out the food?
Food held above 40 degrees for more than two hours is risky. Meat and dairy go first. If the freezer stays packed and closed, it can hold overnight. Move what you can to a neighbor's or into a cooler with ice.
How long does a typical repair take?
Many visits finish in one trip when the part is a common fan, thermostat, gasket, or drain clog. Sealed-system work and board replacements can need a second visit if the part has to be ordered. We tell you which situation you're in while we're there.
Do you work on chest and garage freezers?
Yes. Standalone uprights, chest models, and the freezer half of a side-by-side or French door unit. Garage placement matters here. Heat and humidity push these units hard, and some models struggle when it drops below freezing outdoors.
Is a noisy freezer urgent?
Depends on the noise. Buzzing that comes and goes is often normal cycling. Grinding, rattling, or clicking that repeats every few minutes suggests a fan bearing or a relay trying to start the compressor. Call us before it stops entirely.
How it works
- Step 1
Tell us the symptom
Call us or fill out the form. Describe what the machine is doing: the noise, the smell, the error code. Brand and rough age help us load the right parts.
- Step 2
We schedule a window
Metro Atlanta traffic is real, so we book arrival windows that hold up. You get a heads-up before the technician rolls out, and we work around your day where routes allow.
- Step 3
Diagnose, then repair
The technician tests the unit, finds the failed part, and explains what's wrong in plain words. You approve the work before anything gets replaced. Most common parts ride on the van.

Why homeowners call us
