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.

Raymond came and fixed the washer fast and friendly

Our dryer had begun to emit a burning smell during operation, which was concerning enough to stop using it immediately. The technician identified a piece of clothing that had wrapped around the heating element — a hazard he described as surprisingly common. He also cleared a significant lint buildup from the drum area and exhaust path. The dryer has operated normally and safely since. Glad I called promptly.

The circulation pump in our Electrolux dishwasher had partially failed, resulting in poor water pressure during cycles and dishes that were not being properly cleaned. The technician diagnosed the pump motor as the cause and replaced it. He also serviced the filter assembly and ran two test cycles before confirming the repair was complete. The dishwasher has performed well since. Good, methodical work.

The broil element in our oven had burned through and was no longer functional. The technician arrived within the scheduled window, confirmed the element had failed, and replaced it with a matching OEM component. The oven operates correctly at all settings. A brief, efficient repair.

The built-in refrigerator in our kitchen had been running for many years without incident when we began to notice moisture accumulating between the glass doors. This indicated a seal failure. The technician assessed both door gaskets and found the primary one had torn and was no longer forming an adequate seal. He replaced the gasket and also adjusted the door alignment, which had drifted over time. The condensation issue resolved within a day of the repair and the refrigerator has maintained consistent temperature since. The technician was thorough, took his time with the alignment, and confirmed the fix before leaving. Well worth the cost.

Ethan was very professional and exhibited good communication. He fixed my refrigerator quickly and it is now working great.

Ethan was very respectful, prompt and helpful! Fixed my washing machine in a few minutes and even took at look at my fridge door on the way out, no charge👏will be calling again! (But hopefully I won’t need to for a while)

Ethan came to my home and repaired our washing machine quickly and professionally. Thank you, Ethan.

Ethan had the needed part in his truck and the job was very quick and successful! Thank you!

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.
