Condenser Coils Dirty: Dust and humidity have fouled the condenser coils, reducing the freezer's ability to reject heat. Common causes include Greater Boston's humid, dusty air accelerating coil fouling, Coils never cleaned, Pet hair accumulation.

Compressor Failure: The compressor has failed, stopping all refrigeration and causing complete freezer loss. Common causes include Motor winding failure, Start relay failure causing compressor overheating, Refrigerant overcharge or undercharge stressing the compressor.

Freezer Burn on Food: Food stored in the freezer is developing freezer burn — ice crystals and dehydration on food surface. Common causes include Temperature fluctuating above and below 0°F from door gasket or defrost failure, Food not properly sealed before freezing, Freezer running too warm overall.

Door Seal Issue: A damaged freezer gasket allows warm air infiltration, causing frost buildup and compressor strain. We replace the door gasket with a brand-matched replacement and check door alignment.

Temperature Not Consistent: Inconsistent freezing temperatures risk food safety and indicate a control or refrigeration issue. We test the thermostat and temperature sensor, clean condenser coils, and evaluate compressor operation.

Not Cold Enough — Above 0°F: The freezer is running but temperature is above the required 0°F (-18°C), causing partial thaw of items. Our technician will check coil condition, airflow, defrost system, and door gaskets to identify what's causing temperature elevation.
