Freezers on the Gulf Coast
Long, hot and humid summers on the coast are hard on freezers kept in garages and sheds. Many households here also keep freezers stocked with seafood and game, which makes a failure expensive.
Salt air near the water can corrode condenser coils and electrical connections, and humidity builds frost faster when seals are worn.

Freezer problems common near the coast
Heat, humidity and salt air shape many freezer calls in this market.
Quick frost buildup from humid air
Worn seals let in moist air, building frost quickly in coastal homes.
Garage heat
Freezers in hot garages run longer and expose weak relays and fans.
Power interruptions
Storms and outages can affect controls and start relays.
Rusting cabinets and hinges
Salt air can rust freezer cabinets, hinges and lid frames, which affects how well the lid or door seals.
Storm season and freezers
After a power outage, give the freezer time to recover before judging it, and keep the lid closed. If it does not get cold again after several hours, call.
If you live on Dauphin Island, ask during the call whether a provider can reach the island. In Baldwin County, name the town you are calling from.
Many coastal households fill a freezer with shrimp, fish and crab during the season. If the freezer stops working, keep the lid closed, check the temperature with an appliance thermometer, and move seafood to another freezer or coolers with ice if it starts to soften.
Make sure the outlet has power and the freezer is plugged in, then check the temperature control. If the compressor does not start after power returns, call a technician.
Humid air entering through a worn seal turns to frost quickly. Check the gasket. If the seal is good and frost keeps building, a defrost or airflow problem may need checking.
Yes. Both are part of the Mobile market on this site. Give the community name when you call. Mention where the freezer sits and whether the compressor is running.
