Freezer Repair Scottsdale, AZ

Frost building up in a freezer is almost always the defrost system, usually the heater or the bimetal thermostat (a small heat switch clipped to the cooling coils). It's rarely the sealed refrigerant system. A freezer that can't hold temperature in an Arizona garage in July is often doing nothing wrong. It's rated for room temperatures it never sees out here.

• Can you fix my freezer the same day in Scottsdale?

  Often, yes, especially if you catch us in the morning. Call (480) 791-8858 and ask what the day looks like. We would rather tell you it is tomorrow than have you wait in all afternoon for nothing.

• Is there anything I can check before I call you out?

  Check the door seal with a dollar bill. Close it in the door and pull. If it slides out with no drag, the gasket (the rubber seal) is done, and that's a cheap part. If that does not sort it, then call (480) 791-8858 and we will come and look at it properly.

• Should I repair this freezer or just replace it?

  Two questions decide it: how old is it, and what does the fix cost. Past halfway through its life, with a repair over half the price of new, and you are better off replacing. Young machine, one failed part, fix it every time. Our tech will tell you which one you have got, including when the honest answer is that you should not spend the money with us.
