Why your freezer is not cooling
What this looks like on the freezer: the compressor is clearly running, but the box sits at 45–55°F instead of holding the 37–40°F it should.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A control board that's stopped calling for cooling
- 02A dying evaporator or condenser fan motor
- 03A defrost cycle that never terminates, icing the coil
Quick checks worth doing
Before booking anyone, confirm the freezer has power, the dial is actually set cold, and the condenser coils or vents aren't packed with dust or stored items. Also, listen for the compressor cycling on at all, and check nothing's blocking airflow around the base or rear vents. Worth pinning down: compare readings at the front and the back of the compartment; a large gap points at airflow rather than at cooling capacity. If none of that changes anything, the fault is then almost always a failed compressor or a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, and handling refrigerant needs recovery equipment and training — that's where DIY stops here.
We diagnose the freezer against the model-specific service data rather than working from the symptom alone. Each of these presents the same way from the outside, so the diagnosis is what separates them.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a freezer
There is a local pattern to how a freezer fails in St. Augustine, and it starts with heat and moisture. The combination here is specific: corrosion thinning the condenser from outside while the heat keeps demanding more of it from inside. So on a St. Augustine repair we don't stop at the failed part — we check what the climate is quietly wearing down next.

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.
Will you tell me if it is not worth fixing?
You will be told plainly. There is no value to us in selling a repair that will not hold, and the diagnosis is what makes that call — not the age on the badge.
How does the visit work?
A technician diagnoses a freezer that is not cooling at component level, confirms the cause by measurement, and walks you through the finding before any part is touched.
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.
