Why your walk-in freezer is ice buildup

A walk-in freezer that is ice buildup tends to show the same signs, whatever the brand: frost or solid ice in freezer compartment beyond normal. Defrost system failure. More often than not it traces back to blocked defrost drain. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • A stuck damper holding cold air
  • Blocked defrost drain
  • Defrost system failure
  • Failed defrost timer
  • A faulty defrost heater

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Do this first — it takes two minutes: check how often the door's been left open or ajar recently, since that's the single biggest cause of humid air getting in. If it's still acting up after that, if ice keeps building back up, the defrost heater, timer, or sensor has failed, and reaching those parts means removing interior panels without damaging the liner.

How we fix it

An experienced tech tests the walk-in freezer systematically and pinpoints what's actually causing the ice buildup. Whatever the brand, we stock the parts that fail most on a walk-in freezer and fit them on the spot. Most ice buildup jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.

Called late at night and a tech was here by mid-morning to look at the walk-in freezer. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the walk-in freezer the same day. Fair price, no surprise fees, and the walk-in freezer has worked perfectly since.

Our walk-in freezer quit on us and they had a technician out the same afternoon in Jacksonville. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.
