Arctic Air Appliances We Repair

We service all major Arctic Air models with $0 service fee with repair.

Arctic Air Refrigerator Repair

A warm commercial fridge is a health code violation waiting to happen. Whether it’s a standard reach-in unit, a glass door display, or a food prep table, we address compressor failures, worn door gaskets, and thermostat issues immediately. We ensure your ingredients stay fresh and your kitchen remains compliant with safety standards.

Arctic Air Freezer Repair

Ice buildup or rising freezer temperatures can lead to costly inventory loss. Our technicians expertly diagnose defrost system malfunctions, faulty digital controllers, and evaporator fan motor issues. We work quickly to restore the reliable deep-freeze performance your business needs to prevent spoilage.

Common Arctic Air Refrigerator & Freezer Issues

P1 (Room/Air probe failure): The sensor that monitors the internal air temp is broken. Action: Call a tech; the probe or its wiring needs replacement.
P2 (Evaporator probe failure): The unit is too warm. Action: Check if the door was left open, the gaskets are torn, or the condenser coils are thick with dust.
HA (High Temperature Alarm): If your dryer isn’t drying, it is often due to a clogged heat exchanger or a faulty AbsoluteCare moisture sensor.
LA (Low Temperature Alarm): The unit is too cold (risk of freezing product). Action: Adjust the set point higher. If it continues, the thermostat relay may be stuck “on.”
dA (Door Alarm): The door has been open too long. Action: Close the door. If it is closed, the door magnet/switch is likely misaligned or broken.
EE / E0 (Parameter error): The control board has “forgotten” its settings. Action: Try a Hard Reset (unplug for 5 minutes). If it returns, the board needs reprogramming or replacement.

Common Issues & Fixes (No Code)

Sometimes the unit fails without a specific code. Here is how to handle the most frequent Arctic Air complaints:

The Unit is “Not Cooling” but Running

The Cause: Almost always dirty condenser coils. These are located at the bottom or top behind a grate.
The Fix: Use a vacuum and a stiff brush to remove grease and dust from the coils. Arctic Air units require cleaning every 3–6 months to maintain the warranty.

Clicking Sounds

The Cause: The compressor is trying to start but failing (often due to a bad “Start Relay” or “Capacitor”).
The Fix: This is an electrical component fix. If you are comfortable with a multimeter, you can test the relay; otherwise, this requires a technician.

Ice Buildup on Back Wall/Coils

The Cause: Failed defrost cycle or a blocked drain line.
The Fix: 1. Perform a Manual Defrost: Press and hold the DEF (melting snowflake) button for 3+ seconds. 2. Check the drain hole at the back for food debris or ice blockages.

Pro Tip: The “RST” Reset

If you have fixed the problem (like closing a door or cleaning coils) but the HA or LA alarm won’t stop beeping:

Press and hold the SET key until the message “rst” appears on the display.
Press SET again quickly.
The display should return to showing the current temperature and stop the alarm.

Needed help with my refrigerator and they came out the same day. Quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and gave me a few repair options instead of trying to push the most expensive route. Honest, professional, and very helpful throughout the whole process. Really appreciated the fast response and transparency. Would definitely recommend.

Our Frigidaire oven had stopped heating on the bake setting while the broil element still worked. The technician confirmed the bake element had failed and replaced it during the visit. The oven has functioned correctly at all settings since. Clean and efficient service.

Was on the fence about whether to repair or replace my older Whirlpool dishwasher. Tech was upfront with me — said the pump motor had failed but the machine was otherwise in good shape and worth fixing. Appreciated the honest assessment

lowkey the whole process was way easier than i expected. same day booking, tech was on time, and my fridge is cold again. all i needed honestly

my LG washer kept throwing teh same error code every cycle. tech figured out the door latch sensor was faulty, replaced it, and it’s worked fine ever since. good service from start to finish

Quick troubleshooting. Very knowledgeable service engineer.

Superior appliance worked fast and was able to fix my fridge same day. Ethan was helpful in explaining the issue and was able to resolve quickly!

We had a washer machine stop working in the morning. Called and the technician, Ethan, had the washer up and working later in the afternoon. Great (and fast) work!

The service I received was excellent. I was given an appointment the same day I called and Ethan the technician was the best. He diagnosed the problem with my refrigerator and was able to fix it promptly. He even returned at no charge when we experienced a minor issue with the shelving post repair. I was impressed with his expertise, customer service and integrity and will definitely call again for my family’s appliance needs.

They were quick to diagnose and fix my dryer that woudl not run a cycle.

I used Ethan’s services and was very pleased; he is a very polite and excellent worker. I am grateful to him. I highly recommend him.

Frequently Asked Questions: Arctic Air Repair

Is there a fee for the service call?

We offer a $0 service fee with any completed repair. If you choose to proceed with the fix, the diagnostic fee is completely waived.

Do you use genuine Arctic Air parts?

Yes. To ensure your appliance maintains its high standard of performance and to protect your warranty, we use exclusively genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. These components are specifically engineered to fit the unique dimensions and specifications of Arctic Air’s appliance lines.

Do you provide a warranty on your work?

Yes. All our Arctic Air repairs come with a comprehensive 90-day warranty on both parts and labor. We stand behind our quality so you can have peace of mind.

Is it worth repairing my Arctic Air appliance or should I replace it?

Because Arctic Air appliances are often integrated directly into your cabinetry, replacing them can be a complex and expensive process. Repairing is usually the most cost-effective and convenient option, as it preserves the seamless look of your kitchen without the need for custom carpentry or installation adjustments.

How often do I need to clean my Arctic Air condenser?

Every 30 to 90 days. This is the #1 reason Arctic Air units fail. In a greasy kitchen, the coils act like a vacuum filter. If they are clogged, the compressor works twice as hard, overheats, and eventually burns out. The Fix: Use a soft brush or vacuum to clean the fins. Do not use high-pressure water, as it can bend the delicate aluminum fins.

Can I use a regular extension cord?

Absolutely not. Arctic Air units (especially freezers) pull a high “startup” current. Using an extension cord can cause a voltage drop that will fry the compressor motor and void your warranty. Always plug directly into a grounded wall outlet.

Where do I find my Model and Serial Number?

Look for a silver data plate. It is usually located: On the inside side wall of the refrigerator. On the back of the exterior cabinet. You must have this info before calling for parts or service.
