Why your freezer is tripping breaker
On the freezer: the breaker trips within seconds of the compressor attempting to start, and resets fine until the next start attempt.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A part that's blocked, leaking, or sitting out of alignment
- 02A mechanical part that's simply reached end of life
- 03A wiring fault feeding the control board
- 04A worn internal component finally giving out
- 05A sensor or switch that's failed
Quick checks worth doing
Do this before anything else: note exactly when it trips — at switch-on, at a particular stage, or after a period of running — because each points somewhere different. Before you conclude anything, check the drain outlet and the pan for standing water or ice, which tells you whether the defrost water is getting out. If none of that changes anything, resetting a breaker repeatedly on a real fault is how an insulation failure turns into a fire, so this is not a symptom to work around.
The visit starts with measurements, not guesses — the freezer gets tested before any part is named. The repair is backed by the labor and parts warranty once the cause is confirmed and put right.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a freezer
Living on the First Coast means months of heat and heavy humidity, and your freezer works against both. Salt-laden air pits the condenser fins first, which drops heat rejection and leaves the compressor carrying more load in the same ambient temperature. 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.
What if the same issue comes back?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
When is a replacement the better call?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
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.
Do you use OEM parts?
We fit OEM parts wherever the repair calls for them. Where a manufacturer part is discontinued we say so, and explain what the alternative is before fitting it.
