Why your freezer is not freezing
The first things owners spot when a freezer starts not freezing: freezer compartment stays above 0°F. Common causes: defrost thermostat, evaporator fan, sealed-system leak. Diagnostic checks may include blocked air vents between compartments. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Defrost thermostat or heater failure
- A clogged defrost drain
- A weak or failing compressor
- Failed temperature sensor
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Do this first — it takes two minutes: confirm the thermostat setting, that the door seals fully, and that vents inside aren't blocked by over-packed items. Also, listen for the evaporator fan running when the door's closed, since a silent fan is a common first sign. If it's still acting up after that, it's usually a defrost heater, sensor, or sealed-system fault, and diagnosing those needs a multimeter and refrigeration training, not guesswork.
