Freezer repair problems we solve
In Calgary winters or summers, a broken freezer means lost food fast. Kodiak technicians prioritize freezer calls and will carry the most common freezer parts on every truck.
Not freezing
Start relay, overload protector or a condenser coil packed with dust — we diagnose on site.
Frost buildup
Defrost heater, thermostat, or timer failure. We clear it and fix the cause.
Making loud noise
Usually the evaporator fan motor or a worn condenser fan bearing — both diagnosable on site.
Running constantly
Door seal, condenser coils, or thermostat issue. Wastes electricity.
Temperature too warm
Thermostat, door gasket, or condenser fan. Caught early, food stays safe.
Water pooling underneath
Blocked defrost drain — a quick and common fix.
Freezer not turning on
Control board, thermostat, or start relay. We’ll carry all standard parts.
Door seal damaged
Warm air entering = frost buildup and energy waste. Easy gasket swap.
All major freezer form factors
Three configurations cover almost every freezer in an Calgary home. Each fails in its own way, mostly around the seal and the drain.
Upright
Shelved like a fridge, so the same defrost and door-seal faults apply. Usually in a garage or basement, where the ambient temperature matters.
Chest
Holds temperature longest of anything in the house. The lid gasket and the drain plug at floor level are the two things worth checking first.
Drawer / undercounter
Built under a counter, often in a kitchen island. Access is from the front only, so the cabinet opening decides how the job runs.

Common questions
My freezer isn't freezing — what's the most likely cause?
The most common causes are a failed evaporator fan, a faulty start relay or overload protector, or frost buildup on the evaporator coils blocking airflow. Our tech will diagnose and quote before any work begins.
There's frost buildup inside my freezer — is that a problem?
Yes. Excessive frost usually means the defrost heater, defrost thermostat, or defrost timer has failed. Left too long, it restricts airflow and causes the freezer to stop cooling entirely.
My freezer is running but the temperature is too warm — what's wrong?
This usually points to a dirty condenser coil, a failing evaporator fan, or a door seal that has stopped sealing. We’ll diagnose on the first visit.
Do you repair chest freezers and garage freezers?
Yes — chest freezers, upright freezers, and garage freezers. We come to you; bring your unit in is never required.
How long does a freezer repair take?
Most are done on the first visit. If a part has to be ordered we’ll book a return visit once it arrives.
