Why your freezer is ice buildup
A slab of ice forms under the bottom shelf or across the floor of the compartment and comes back within a week of being chipped out on the freezer. It will keep working after a fashion, but the underlying fault does not fix itself.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A defrost heater that's burned out
- 02A defrost timer that's failed
- 03A door gasket letting humid air in
- 04A damper stuck holding cold air in one compartment
- 05A defrost drain blocked with ice
Quick checks worth doing
Before you call it in, note how often the door's been left ajar recently, since that's the single biggest driver of humid air getting in. If you want a firmer read on it, time how long the compressor stays on and how long it rests — a unit that never rests is a unit that cannot hold temperature. Once that's ruled out, a genuinely failed defrost heater or timer needs the interior panel off to confirm — misdiagnosing it means paying for the wrong part.
First we test the freezer end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Each of these presents the same way from the outside, so the diagnosis is what separates them.
What Palm Valley's climate does to a freezer
Palm Valley does not get a cold season long enough to give a freezer a rest, and that shows up in the wear. The combination here is specific: corrosion thinning the condenser from outside while the heat keeps demanding more of it from inside. Knowing what Palm Valley's climate does to a freezer is part of the job here — we check for it on every visit.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Every repair carries an 18-month labor warranty and a 90-day parts warranty. If the same issue returns in that window, we come back at no charge.
Do you use OEM parts?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
How does the visit work?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
How do I know if it is worth repairing?
We will say so. If the failure is one that takes a unit past sensible repair — a failed sealed system on an old cabinet, say — you get that assessment rather than a part you would replace again next year.
