How Much Do Freezer Repairs Cost?
When you open your freezer, you expect a rush of cold air. However, if a warm draft greets you instead, along with ice cream that's beginning to melt, it's a strong sign your freezer needs professional attention. On average, the cost to repair a faulty freezer across the country is approximately $350.
| TYPE OF COST | AMOUNT |
| Average Cost | $350 |
| Highest Cost | $650 |
| Lowest Cost | $60 (ice-maker repair) |
Freezers rely on complex technology, often surpassing the mechanics of a refrigerator, which can lead to slightly higher repair costs. However, fixing a freezer is usually not a significant financial burden when maintaining kitchen appliances. With proper care, a freezer can last 12 to 20 years. Repairing it is often a cost-effective decision compared to purchasing a new one, potentially saving over $700 for an upright model or more than $600 for a chest freezer, including installation expenses.
What Are Common Freezer Repair Costs?
The cost of resolving freezer issues can vary depending on the specific problem. Here's an overview:
Compressor: Fixing a fuel leak or replacing the compressor typically costs between $200 and $400.
Control Board: Expenses can range from $80 to $800, depending on the issue's complexity.
Thermostat: Repairs generally fall within $100 to $440.
Defrost Motor: This repair costs usually between $100 and $440.
Coils: Addressing coil problems often costs $100 to $440.
Door Seal: Replacing or repairing the door seal can range from $50 to $440.
Ice Maker: Repairs average around $330, but replacing it may be more economical, with new units costing between $60 and $220.
What Are Some Common Freezer Problems?
The overall cost of fixing a freezer largely depends on labor fees and the price of replacement parts. Repairs involving complex components such as the compressor, thermostat, or control board are typically more expensive. However, more straightforward problems with the freezer can often be resolved at a lower cost.
Freezer Is Not Running
The problem you're experiencing may not always stem from the freezer. Start by examining the electrical outlet to confirm it's supplying power and operating correctly. Identifying the specific issue with the freezer can be tricky if the outlet is satisfactory. When the appliance isn't working, it's often best to consult a professional for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
Excessive Frost in the Freezer
A slight layer of frost inside the freezer is usually standard and occurs when warm, moist air enters while the door is open. To reduce this, try to keep the door open for shorter periods. However, excessive frost buildup may indicate an issue, such as a damaged door or seal. If those are not the cause, the problem could involve the defrost sensor or other internal components, which should be evaluated and repaired by a qualified technician.
Freezer Is Making Loud Noise
Modern freezers are designed to run quietly, so unusual loud sounds could signal a problem. The noise might stem from internal parts like the evaporator or the fan mechanism.
Freezer Isn't Maintaining Temperature
The ideal temperature for a freezer is 0 degrees Fahrenheit to keep food safe for storage. If the temperature rises steadily, it could point to issues with components like the sensor or refrigerant system. A professional Appliance Repairmen technician can help identify and fix the problem. Remember that freezers are generally built to last up to 20 years with proper care.
Ice at the Bottom of the Freezer
If you notice water accumulating and freezing at the base of your freezer, it may be due to a blocked defrost drain tube. Pouring warm water carefully into the tube can often clear the blockage. If the issue persists, it's a good idea to contact a qualified technician of Appliance Repairmen for further assistance.

My dryer was giving me problems so I decided to give AnB Appliance Repair a try. They were friendly. They were willing to work around my schedule. They came within 24hrs. They fixed my dryer within an hour. I will definitely call them again if I need another repair!
Carlos Mason
VERY responsive! I called the guys on Thursday afternoon for a dishwasher issue and they came by the next day to diagnose the problem. Turns out I needed a new motor, which the guys ordered, picked up on a Saturday morning, and installed right away.
Marcus Stone
