One freezing morning in Northbrook… Mrs. Thompson's freezer stopped freezing, leaving ice cream soup and frozen dinners thawing. She called DTSOL Appliance Repair & HVAC, and our tech was there in under an hour. A faulty defrost timer was the culprit—15 minutes later, frozen food again. That's the kind of fast, friendly service we give all over Northbrook.
Professional freezer repair services to keep your food frozen and fresh
Removing excessive frost buildup and fixing defrost system issues to restore proper freezing.
Fixing thermostat issues, compressor problems, and refrigerant leaks to restore proper freezing temperatures.
Replacing worn or damaged door seals to prevent air leaks and maintain proper freezing temperatures.
Repairing or replacing compressors and condenser fans to restore freezing performance.
Repairing defrost heaters, timers, and thermostats to prevent ice buildup and maintain efficiency.
Fixing blocked drain tubes, cracked drain pans, and water leaks to prevent damage.
If you see thick ice inside, the door seal might be leaking. In Northbrook, shared walls can make external walls colder and seals wear faster.
Food thaws, drinks get lukewarm. Often a bad thermostat or low refrigerant. In Northbrook, dusty back rooms let coils clog quick.
Buzzing or rattling means a stressed compressor or loose fan blade. We heard a fridge in Northbrook sounding like a lawn mower—fixed with simple motor realignment.
Water under the freezer? A blocked defrost drain or broken drain pan is likely. One Northbrook client had a drip that pooled onto hardwood—no more splash damage after we fixed it.
We don't guess—every step tells us what part needs fixin'.
Door seals crack after years. We cut and fit new magnetic gaskets. I think replacing yours every 4 years saves big mess later.
Bad thermostats cause ups and downs. We install a calibrated one and test temps with a probe. No more ice cream slush.
If the compressor dies, we replace it with same model. Fan motors we test and rewire. We carry common motors in the van for Northbrook calls.
Broken defrost heaters or frozen timers fixed on-site. Last winter in Northbrook, a timer froze "on", leaving ice walls—gone after repair.
Blocked drain tubes bring puddles. We clean or replace pans and tubes. No more drip puddles in your Northbrook kitchen.
A family in Northbrook found freezer at 50°F on Christmas Eve. We raced over, replaced a bad thermostat, and returned their turkeys to safe cold before dinner.
A Northbrook wine collector's freezer lost cold. We found a torn insulation strip under gasket. Re-installed it and all 12 bottles stayed perfect.
In Northbrook, freezing temps outside can stick your door shut. Use a silicone spray on the gasket in early December.
Northbrook heat waves make compressors work hard. Keep unit in shade if you have garage space, and clean condenser coils often.
