When your freezer breaks down in the middle of winter, it might seem like nature can do the cooling — but that’s rarely the case. One of our most memorable calls came on a bitterly cold day, when a panicked homeowner contacted us for Freezer Repair. The appliance had stopped working, and their food was at risk.
The Emergency Call on the Coldest Day
It was early morning, and the temperature was dropping below -30°C. Icy roads, frozen driveways, and blowing snow didn’t stop us — we packed up our tools and got on the road.
Diagnosing the Problem in Freezing Conditions
Inside the garage, the freezer felt oddly warm despite the freezing air. That’s when we knew something wasn’t right.
Thermostat and Compressor Issues
After testing the unit, we identified two culprits:
-
The thermostat was no longer reading the internal temperature correctly
-
The compressor failed to cycle on due to multiple cold restarts
Fast Fix, Lasting Results
With gloved hands and frosty tools, we replaced the faulty thermostat and carefully reset the compressor. We stayed until the internal temperature began dropping and the compressor ran steadily.
Why This Repair Mattered
