Freezer Notes for This Area
Detached houses in this area often have room for a standalone freezer, either in the garage or on the lower level near the laundry. A garage freezer in July sits in hot air, while one on a partly buried lower floor deals with cool, humid conditions much of the year. Townhouse owners in Burke Centre with a walkout lower level may keep one in a storage room beside the furnace.
Checking seal, airflow and defrost in order
We start with the cabinet temperature and the door or lid gasket, running a strip of paper around the full seal to find gaps. Frost inside an upright frost-free model leads us to test the defrost heater, terminator and timer or board. If the compressor runs constantly, we inspect the condenser, which on chest freezers is usually a hot loop in the outer walls, and on uprights may be a coil and fan at the back. A compressor that hums and clicks off is checked for a failed start relay or overload. A sealed-system fault is considered only after all of those test good.
Garage freezers off Rolling Road and Burke Lake Road
Look up whether your freezer is rated for an unheated garage, since many are not. Leave clearance at the back and sides for heat to escape, and plug it into its own outlet rather than one shared with a garage door opener or power tools. Check after a summer storm that it restarted. A freezer that sits in direct afternoon sun through a garage window also runs harder than it should.

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.
Ice on the back wall usually means the defrost system is not clearing the evaporator, or warm air is getting in through a bad gasket. We test the defrost heater, thermostat and control, check the drain under the coil for ice, and inspect the seal before replacing anything.
