Is it really the sealed system? Questions to answer first
What is the sealed system?
The compressor, condenser, evaporator, drier and tubing that carry refrigerant. It is closed, and only certified technicians should open it.
Which problems look like a sealed-system failure but are not?
A failed evaporator fan, a defrost fault, a dirty condenser coil or a bad temperature sensor can all give a warm fridge. Those are cheaper to fix.
Can I add refrigerant myself?
No. Handling refrigerant needs EPA Section 608 certification. Our technicians hold it.
What does the technician look for?
Whether the compressor starts and runs, whether the coil gets cold, and pressure and leak test results.
Signs that point to a sealed-system problem
The compressor runs for long periods but the freezer never gets cold. The evaporator frosts only partway. The compressor starts and then clicks off repeatedly. An oily residue appears near a tube or a coil. These patterns often come after cheaper causes are ruled out.
Before booking, check the basics. Is the condenser coil clean? Is the evaporator fan running when the freezer door opens? Is the thermostat set where you expect it? Unplug before any cleaning.
