Opening your freezer to discover that your food is thawed or hearing strange noises emanating from the appliance can be alarming. These are indications that you may need to schedule potential freezer repairs. Here are three signs you might be experiencing issues with the appliance.

How Can I Tell My Freezer Stopped Working?

1. It Doesn’t Freeze Food

Another possibility is a damaged evaporator fan motor. This component helps circulate air in the appliance. In both instances, freezer repairs are essential to resolving the problem.

2. It Makes Noises

A low hum that emanates from the refrigerator is normal. However, a fan noise could be due to a faulty evaporator fan motor. Since the motor works consistently to circulate air throughout the freezer, it slowly loses its integrity as it wears down. That can cause a buzzing or clicking sound. Your freezer repair technician will check both the motor and the fan blades for signs of damage.

3. It Leaks Water

There are a couple of reasons why the freezer might be leaking. A common culprit is a frozen defrost drain, which usually just requires defrosting and cleaning. But if that’s not the problem, it could be due to a leak in the water line. This is especially a possibility if your freezer has an ice and water hookup. If a leak exists, you may need to replace the water line.
