Summary

A Frigidaire fridge in Norwood was building up ice in the freezer and not keeping food cold. The homeowner noticed the problem as frost kept forming, making it hard to use the freezer. We were called in to find out why the freezer couldn't stay clear of ice and wasn't cooling as it should.

The Work

Diagnosed the problem as a failed bi-metal thermostat causing ice buildup on the evaporator
Replaced the faulty defrost thermostat with a new part
Cleared all existing ice from the freezer and checked operation after repair
Provided a 1-year warranty on the repair for added assurance

The Outcome

The fridge was cooling again and the freezer was free of ice. Food storage returned to normal and the homeowner no longer had to worry about frost buildup or spoiled food. If your fridge or freezer isn't working right, we're ready to help.
