Why is my freezer not freezing?

Common causes of a freezer not freezing include: dirty condenser coils, a failed evaporator fan, a broken defrost thermostat, or a failing compressor. We carry parts for all major brands and offer same-day service throughout New Jersey.

Why is there excessive frost buildup in my freezer?

Excessive frost buildup is usually caused by a failed defrost heater, a bad defrost thermostat, or a faulty defrost timer/control board. A damaged door gasket that lets in humid air is also a common cause in NJ homes where doors are opened frequently.

How often should I defrost my manual-defrost freezer?

Defrost when frost buildup exceeds 1/4 inch — typically every 3–6 months. If you're defrosting more frequently, it may indicate a door seal issue. We can inspect and replace gaskets if needed.
