Why your freezer is ice buildup
When a freezer is ice buildup, here's what you'll usually notice: frost or solid ice in freezer compartment beyond normal. Defrost system failure. The usual culprit is failed defrost timer. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- A bad door gasket letting humid air in
- Blocked defrost drain
- Failed defrost timer
- A faulty defrost heater
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, check how often the door's been left open or ajar recently, since that's the single biggest cause of humid air getting in. Once you've ruled that out, a genuinely failed defrost heater or timer needs the interior panel off to test and replace, and misdiagnosing it means paying for parts that weren't the problem.

First we diagnose the freezer end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Whatever the brand, we stock the parts that fail most on a freezer and fit them on the spot. Most ice buildup jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.

“Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the freezer the same day. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.”
“The freezer broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.”
