If your freezer is not cooling properly, it can quickly turn into a serious problem. Frozen food may begin to thaw, ice cream becomes soft, and food safety becomes a real concern. At Capital Appliance Repair Winnipeg, this is one of the most common appliance repair issues we see, and in many cases, it can be fixed quickly when addressed early.
When a freezer is not maintaining the correct temperature, there are usually clear warning signs. You may notice frozen food beginning to thaw or feel soft, ice cream that will not stay solid, or ice melting and clumping together. Frost buildup inside the freezer is also common.
A freezer that is not cooling can lead to food loss, wasted money, and potential health risks. Continued operation can also cause further damage to the cooling system, resulting in more expensive repairs if ignored. Below are common issues that can cause your freezer to not be cod.
Sometimes the freezer temperature setting has been changed accidentally. Most freezers should be set to 0 degrees Fahrenheit for proper food storage. If the setting is too warm, the freezer will struggle to keep food frozen.
Condenser coils release heat from the freezer. When they are covered in dust or debris, the freezer cannot cool efficiently, leading to higher internal temperatures.
The evaporator fan circulates cold air throughout the freezer. If the fan stops working, cold air will not move properly, causing uneven or insufficient cooling.
A malfunctioning defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or control board can cause excessive frost buildup. This frost blocks airflow and prevents the freezer from cooling correctly.
If the thermostat or sensor is defective, it may not signal the compressor to run when needed. This results in a freezer that cannot maintain freezing temperatures.
The compressor is responsible for circulating refrigerant through the cooling system. If it fails or struggles to start, the freezer will not cool properly and may stop working altogether.
If adjusting the temperature or cleaning the coils does not solve the issue, professional freezer repair is the safest next step.
