Freezers with many innovations and technological developments operate at peak efficiency while offering advanced settings to help you perfectly preserve frozen foods and other items. Your freezer holds everything from quick meals to tasty treats to ice cubes for refreshing drinks. A faulty freezer can cause significant problems in the kitchen, limiting your home’s supply of ice and storage capabilities, accumulating ice and frost within or making noise, or the freezer not cooling. When your freezer stops doing its job, i.e., freezing, you must be prepared to do some maintenance work.
Freezers will only work if you maintain them, so service them regularly as directed by the manufacturer. For freezer service or repair, download the OneDios app today. OneDios app is a one-stop shop for all your freezer service-related issues and queries without calling various people or seeking phone numbers.
Here are a few of the most common freezer problems and their solutions for quick and easy maintenance.
- Frost build-up in the freezer
Frost builds up inside the freezer because of the moist, warm air trapped inside by the opening and closing of the freezer door. Some frost in the freezer is expected, but excessive ice can damage your appliance. The reason could be a faulty defrost timer, thermostat, or defrost heater. Nowadays, freezers have an auto-defrost feature to prevent frost build-up inside the unit.
Often frost is due to a damaged freezer door or lid gasket. A faulty door or gasket lets in warm air while the freezer is closed; replace or repair the gasket to resolve the issue. If the gasket needs to be replaced or the defrost heater has malfunctioned, contact refrigerator customer service or download the OneDios app. OneDios aims to offer a top-class professional facility for repair, fitting, and freezer service.
Too low thermostat settings could also result in frost build-up. The ideal freezer temperature is around 0°F (-18°C). To defrost, unplug the refrigerator and keep the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt. Also, ensure the fridge is placed at a distance from the wall for the air to circulate to avoid this problem.
- Making strange noises
Freezers often create a mild amount of noise. There are many different clicks, whirs, and trickles produced by icemakers, defrost cycles, and evaporative fans. However, loud or unfamiliar noises could indicate that your freezer isn’t working correctly. A noisy freezer usually indicates that the evaporator fan motor needs to be replaced. Hissing noises may be because of a coolant leak, which can damage the freezer. In any case, if your freezer is making strange noises out of the ordinary, call for an expert. Download the OneDios app and get help from an experienced freezer repair professional.
- Freezer is leaking
If there is a water puddle in front of the fridge, most likely, it is a clogged or frozen defrost drain or frost build-up on evaporator coils. If the drain tube is blocked, gently pour hot water down it. If unable to resolve the leaking, call OneDios and raise a service request today.

- The freezer is no longer freezing
A freezer is useless if it is not freezing. It could be due to no power, a problem with the evaporator fan motor, a loose door gasket, a broken thermostat or dirty condenser coils. Check if there is power and the freezer is not in OFF mode. Any of these problems can make the freezer stop doing its job of freezing. Our technicians at OneDios can repair and replace any part that needs fixing. If you are facing freezer issues at home or looking forward to buying an AMC plan for your refrigerator, you can download the OneDios app and raise a request today.
- Freezer is constantly running
If your freezer is continuously running, it indicates there is a problem. It could be due to the thermostat not working properly, forcing the freezer to run constantly to maintain the temperature. Or the evaporator fan motor or condenser fan motor could malfunction. The compressor should shut down after a cooling cycle; if it doesn’t, fix an appointment with a refrigerator service expert to check your freezer. You can use the OneDios app to do the same.
