# Electrolux freezer column repair

### Nothing written about freezer repair applies to this one

Search for it and you will find advice about defrosting a chest, about garage-rated thermostats, about running one in an unheated space. This maker builds none of that. Its only freezer is a 19 cubic foot column designed to stand beside the refrigerator column and be trimmed to match, usually in a kitchen or a butler's pantry. It is closer to a refrigerator than to anything sold as a freezer, and it has to be diagnosed as one.

What this involves

A 19 cu. ft. column, not a chest and not a garage upright

A tall evaporator ices from the bottom, so symptoms arrive late

The air path through the trim is part of the diagnosis

Confirm which of the pair you have

The refrigerator column and the freezer column differ by a letter in the model number, and people describing a problem on the phone name the wrong one often enough that we ask.

Read the ice pattern up the evaporator

Ice at the bottom with a clear top is a defrost story. Even frost everywhere is an air or a door story. They are different repairs.

Check the door, the hinge and the trim panel together

A door carrying a trim panel has been pulling on its hinges since the kitchen was fitted, and a seal that no longer meets is often a hinge rather than a gasket.

### Mine is in the garage and it struggles.

It was not built for that. There is no garage-rated freezer in this line, and in a South Florida garage a 19 cubic foot column runs continuously. That is the environment rather than a failure.

### The matching refrigerator is fine. Does that help?

Only in ruling out the circuit and the room. They are two separate appliances with two sealed systems that happen to look like one piece of furniture.
