Common Magic Chef freezer problems
Not freezing
On frost-free models, a defrost heater, thermostat, control or evaporator fan. On chest freezers, the thermostat, the start relay or a refrigerant leak.
Frost building up
A door seal that doesn't close tight, or a defrost system failure.
Runs all the time
Dirty condenser coils, a door that doesn't seal, or low refrigerant.
Water under the freezer
A clogged defrost drain.
Check these before you call
If one of these fixes it, you don't need us.
- If the freezer is in the garage, check the manual. Not every model is built for Florida garage heat.
- Set it to 0°F and give it a few hours to recover after the door was left open.
- Vacuum the coils and leave a few inches of space around the freezer for air.
Repair or replace?
A sealed-system leak on an older chest freezer usually costs more to fix than the freezer is worth. We'll tell you before any work.

Keep the door closed. A full freezer holds its temperature for about 48 hours, a half-full one for about 24.
