Common problems
Sound familiar?
These are the freezer problems David sees most often in Weston, and what usually causes them.
Freezer not freezing, food thawing
It's usually a failed start relay, a stuck thermostat, or a dead compressor. David finds which one it is and tells you honestly how to fix it.
Heavy frost buildup inside
A failed defrost heater or timer lets frost pile up on the evaporator coils; David replaces the part.
Water leaking under the freezer
A clogged defrost drain or worn door gasket lets water pool and refreeze; David clears the drain and reseals the door.
Compressor running constantly
Dirty condenser coils or a worn door gasket make it run nonstop; David cleans the coils and reseals the door.
Loud buzzing or rattling noise
A failing evaporator fan motor or a struggling compressor causes the racket; David pinpoints the source and replaces the fan motor if that's the cause.
Door not sealing shut
A cracked or hardened door gasket breaks the seal and lets warm air in; David swaps the gasket.
Temperature swinging up and down
A faulty thermostat or defrost timer cycles at the wrong times, so food partly thaws; David tests both and replaces the faulty part.
Warm spots, uneven cooling
A weak evaporator fan can't circulate cold air, leaving warm pockets; David replaces the fan motor.
Freezer won't turn on at all
It's often a tripped relay, a failed control board, or surge damage; David traces the power fault and restores power.
Ice cream soft, ice melting
Low refrigerant or a tired compressor can't hold 0°F; David confirms the cause and gives an honest recommendation.

Why it breaks
What actually goes wrong
A dead freezer doesn't wait. Meat thaws, ice cream turns to soup, and a month of groceries is suddenly on the clock. Whether it's a chest unit in the garage or an upright in the kitchen, David is the honest local pro for freezer repair.
Most freezer failures trace back to the defrost system: a burned-out defrost heater or timer lets frost choke the coils. Worn door gaskets, dirty condenser coils, and overpacking that blocks airflow are close behind, and Florida heat and power surges push compressors and relays hard. The good news: most freezer repairs come down to a single part, not a new unit.

I can’t thank David enough for fixing my oven. My neighbor recommended him, and I’m so glad they did. He was quick to respond, explained exactly what was going on, ordered the parts, and got everything working again. Reliable, easy to work with, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend.
David was on time, friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He knew exactly how to fix the burner on our stovetop, and gave us some helpful advice for the future.
FAQ
Common questions about freezer repair
Do you repair both chest and upright freezers?
Yes. David repairs chest and upright freezers, standalone units, and garage freezers in Broward County.
Why does frost keep building up in my freezer?
Repeated frost almost always means a failed defrost heater, timer, or thermostat, so the defrost cycle never melts the ice.
What's the ideal freezer temperature?
0°F keeps food frozen safely. If yours can't hold it, David checks whether it's the thermostat, the compressor, or the refrigerant and tells you honestly what the fix is.
Is it worth repairing a freezer or should I replace it?
Usually, repair it. Most freezer repairs come down to one part (a relay, a gasket, or a fan), and David gives you an honest answer with no upsell.
