Whether your freezer is not freezing, leaking water, or making unusual noises, our team of certified technicians is ready to diagnose and fix the problem quickly.

Common Freezer Problems

Understanding common freezer issues can help you recognize when it’s time for professional repair services. Here are some of the most frequent problems homeowners experience:

1. Freezer Not Freezing Properly

If your freezer is running but not keeping food frozen, possible causes include:

  • Dirty condenser coils restricting heat dissipation
  • Faulty evaporator fan motor disrupting airflow
  • Malfunctioning thermostat preventing proper temperature regulation
  • Low refrigerant levels affecting cooling capacity

2. Excessive Frost Buildup

A freezer accumulating too much frost may indicate:

  • Defective defrost heater or thermostat
  • Worn-out door seals allowing warm air inside
  • Faulty defrost timer failing to regulate cooling cycles

3. Freezer Leaking Water

Leaks from your freezer can be caused by:

  • Clogged or frozen defrost drain
  • Cracked or damaged water supply lines (if connected to an ice maker)
  • Improper leveling of the freezer unit

4. Unusual Noises Coming from the Freezer

If your freezer is making loud buzzing, clicking, or rattling sounds, it could be due to:

  • Worn-out evaporator or condenser fan motors
  • Loose compressor components
  • Ice buildup obstructing fan movement

5. Freezer Runs Constantly

A freezer that never stops running may indicate:

  • Dirty or clogged condenser coils
  • Faulty thermostat causing improper temperature control
  • Damaged door seals allowing cold air to escape

6. Ice Maker Not Functioning

If your freezer has an ice maker that isn’t producing ice, common causes include:

  • Blocked or frozen water supply lines
  • Malfunctioning water inlet valve
  • Defective ice maker motor or control board

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Most freezer repairs take 1-2 hours, depending on the problem and replacement parts required. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize downtime.

How much does freezer repair cost?

The cost of freezer repair depends on the issue, but we provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees so you know exactly what to expect.

Should I repair or replace my freezer?

If your freezer is less than 10 years old, repairs are usually a cost-effective option. However, if it has frequent issues or a major component failure, replacement may be a better investment.

What brands of freezers do you repair?

We repair all major brands, including Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG, Maytag, Frigidaire, Kenmore, and more.

Can I fix my freezer myself?

Some minor issues, like cleaning condenser coils or checking door seals, can be handled at home. However, electrical and mechanical repairs should be left to professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How often should I service my freezer?

Regular maintenance is recommended once a year to prevent breakdowns and ensure efficient operation.

We finally figured out to stop the pump to the well. Then I got news that Dor Mar could send someone today, and I was so excited!! Seth got here looked at everything, gave us a very reasonable quote and we agreed. He found a second leak and fixed that. I am very happy with his work, and have calmed down from the nite before.

Terri GuoTerri Guo ★☆☆☆☆ We paid the yearly maintenance fees, they didn’t do the maintenance at all only charged for the money, the maintenance guy said my furnace need to put a UV light to kills the moisture, when he came he told me our water heater need to be replaced and he said if we buy the water heater from them he’ll install the UV LIGHT for free at least 50% off, and clean it for free. After we replaced the water heater they didn’t do it, we still paid a lot money for the UV LIGHT and they didn’t clean it at all so DisappointedResponse from the ownerWe appologize that you have had your maintenace reasxheduled a couple of times Terri, unfortunely with the heat wave we expirienced all working units had to be moved off of the schedule to take care of people without working ACs. As far as the UV light our record indicates extensive notes on where we installed a UV light at one of your properties and that you canceled the one for your home address. If you wish to further discuss your issues you may reach out to our office. Dorothy McCulloughDorothy McCullough ★★★★★ Trevor did an awesome job. He was so professional and nice.Response from the ownerThank you for leaving your tech a great review! John MJohn M ★☆☆☆☆ We experienced some mixups with their after hours phone service but then finally the tech shows up and says "I called my boss and we don't service geo-thermal systems" When we explicitly told them that is the system we had and they show on their web site as servicing/installing geo-thermal. in the end it was just a run around and ended up going with another company that worked out great.Response from the ownerWe apologize for the miscomunication John, we are currently working to correct the issue with our Live Services to further inform them on vthe types of units we do not service. We have also double checked our services lsited on our website and Geothermal units are not on that list. Again we apologize for the miscomunication and are working to ensure this doesnt happen again. Josh HarshbargerJosh Harshbarger ★★★★★ Anthony was so great! Polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thanks for repairing our leaks!Phyllis NelsonPhyllis Nelson ★★★★★ Response from the ownerWe appreciate the 5-star rating Phyllis! Tanya ClarkstonTanya Clarkston ★★★★★ Great service! Friendly! Calob B was fast, efficient, friendly & knowledgeable!Response from the ownerThank you Tanya for leaving your tech a great review! Aaron JacksonAaron Jackson ★★★★★ Response from the ownerWe appreciate the 5-star review Aaron! Josh PratherJosh Prather ★★★★★ Good all around.Response from the ownerThank you for the 5-star review Josh! Lee annLee ann ★☆☆☆☆ DorMar does my sister’s HVAC and she has a yearly maintenance contract. SHE is unable by phone or text due to an illness. DorMar came out 3 times during my time as my sister’s Personal Home Manager and POA (in writing). A supply vent has mold and now and they are refusing to come to investigate and/ot provide a quote to fix this serious problem on their work. Even with my sister’s permission in writing and agreement to pay DorMar - they refuse to come to investigate mold on a supply register. Delaying service is going to make it worse and could be deadly.Response from the ownerUnfortunetly Lee, when it comes to scheduling services outside of the maintenace agreement that has been paid for by your sister we have to have consent straight from your her or a legal document stating you are POA and can make decisions for the property. Our system tracks every phone call and we have it on record that on 6/27/2025 in a phone call between you and one of our CSRs that you are not POA this means you are not able to schedule these appointments. Legally we are not able to schedule anything without that documentation or consent straight from your sister. If you are able to provide either of those we will be happy to schedule a service to inspect the issues going on in the Ductwork/HVAC in the home. WAYNE LWAYNE L ★☆☆☆☆ My ac stopped working this evening. This company claims 24 hours service but reluctant to provide service for 2 days. What happened to prompt service? The lady on the phone couldn't speak clear English. This company claims prompt service but fails to do so.Response from the ownerUnfortunetly Wayne with the heat wave we have had this past week our schedule has been booked a couple days in advanced for this entire past week. We always try our best to do same day service but our schedule can still book up. Dorothy MoorheadDorothy Moorhead ★★★★★ Service call yesterday for issue of short run and inefficient cooling after being inspected 3 weeks ago and deemed in good working order resulted in discovery of king valve being mostly closed and starving system of coolent then the system being bleed down to where it had to be shut down due too tech having trouble disconnecting equipment (reverse threads) .As tech didn’t have coolant on His truck - received text schedule for today between 8-12 to recharge the system - now 1:25 and still waitingjs_loader
