True Residential Freezer Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
We are independent and have no tie to True Residential. If the freezer is still inside its True Residential warranty, the manufacturer should be your first call. Once that coverage has ended, include the model number and the symptom in your booking so parts can be looked up ahead of the visit.
How a Freezer Repair Visit Works

The technician tests the appliance along with its power, water, drain, gas or vent connections until the fault is confirmed.
A Price Before Work
We name the failed part and give you the cost of fixing it. Work starts only after you agree.
Repair and Check
The part is installed and the appliance is run through a cycle so you can watch it working.
How True Residential designs its freezers
True freezers, from residential undercounter and column units to commercial reach-ins, rely on a timed or demand defrost to keep the evaporator clear. When a heater, a termination thermostat or the timer or controller fails, ice builds on the coil until air can't pass, and the freezer warms even though it runs constantly. You see it as a thick sheet of ice over the back panel or around the fan blade. Commercial freezers that are opened constantly draw in humid kitchen air, and a torn gasket or a door that doesn't close fully speeds up the icing. On some models the drain line has a heater, and when it fails, meltwater refreezes in the line and backs up. We clear the ice first and then test each defrost part.
Common failure points on True Residential freezers

Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
The defrost system has probably stopped working. We melt the ice, then test the heater, thermostat and timer or controller to find the part that failed.
Meltwater may be refreezing in the drain line, often because a drain heater failed, or the condensate pan may be overflowing. We check both.
