What the listings say about freezer repair in North Dakota

Counted from the 7 profiles above, not from a survey. Everything a business states about itself is reported as a claim.

North Dakota holds 7 listed freezer repair businesses, out of 402 nationwide. That ranks 32nd of the 50 states with any, level with New Jersey and behind Florida on 14. They are 7 of the 8 businesses listed in North Dakota — 88% of the state directory.

Their ratings average 4.6, level with the 4.6 average across all 402 listed nationwide, and 7 of the 7 sit at 4.5 or better. 1 holds a straight 5.0, and none sits below 4.0. Between them they carry 395 reviews, the largest single tally being 150 on Appliance Pros in Fargo. Rating and review volume are what the businesses' own public profiles report — treat a high average on six reviews differently from the same average on six hundred.

By review volume the group is led by Appliance Pros in Fargo (150 reviews, 5.0), The Repair Man in Fargo (112 reviews, 4.6) and R&A Appliance LLC in Bismarck (78 reviews, 4.5). By rating it is Appliance Pros at 5.0 on 150 reviews, The Repair Man at 4.6 on 112 reviews and R&A Appliance LLC at 4.5 on 78 reviews. Those are two different questions and they rarely give the same answer — volume tells you a company has been doing this at scale, a high average on a handful of reviews tells you much less.

All 7 state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. On top of that, 6 show a Better Business Bureau accreditation in the profiles. None advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, but 1 advertises same-day service. All of that is self-stated in the listing, not verified here: ask for the license number and a current certificate of insurance, and for anything that opens a sealed refrigerant system ask to see federal EPA Section 608 certification, which is required in all fifty states.

3 of the 7 publish a founding year: the longest-established has been trading since 2004, and the median across those that say is 21 years. Fargo holds the most at 2 — 29% of the group — followed by Bismarck on 1, across 6 North Dakota cities with an index page. Between them they name 21 distinct towns, suburbs and neighborhoods in their stated service areas, so coverage reaches well past the cities listed here — give your address when you call rather than assuming.

What North Dakota technicians find most often

The 5 most common freezer faults, and whether each is homeowner work or a job for a licensed technician.

All 8 faults
  • Not holding temperature but still running

    Homeowner fix

    Condenser coils packed with dust, a failed door gasket, or a thermostat that has drifted out of calibration.

    Step-by-step: Freezer Not Freezing
  • Heavy frost build-up on the walls

    Technician

    On a frost-free model, a failed defrost heater or thermostat. On a manual-defrost chest freezer, a door seal letting humid air in.

    Step-by-step: Freezer Frost Buildup
  • Runs constantly and never cycles off

    Technician

    A low refrigerant charge, a dirty condenser, or a compressor losing efficiency. Long run times are the first warning of all three.

  • Warm spots in an upright freezer while other shelves are fine

    Technician

    The evaporator fan has stopped circulating air, or the vents are blocked by packed contents.

    Step-by-step: Freezer Not Freezing
  • Lid or door will not seal and frost forms around the opening

    Homeowner fix

    A compressed or hardened gasket, or a lid that has warped. Gaskets are inexpensive and homeowner-replaceable on most chest freezers.

Try these before you book a North Dakota technician

8 published freezer guides. A diagnostic fee is $50–$120 before any work starts, so half an hour with a flashlight is worth spending.

All guides →

Keep the next call from happening

Ask the technician to walk you through these while they are on site — every one of them prevents a fault in the list above.

  • Vacuum the condenser coils

    Every 6 months

    Prevents: Long run times, high energy use, and premature compressor wear.

  • Manually defrost when frost passes 1/4 in.

    Annually, or as needed

    Prevents: Lost capacity and a compressor working against an insulating ice layer.

  • Check the lid or door gasket seals along its whole length

    Twice a year

    Prevents: The humid-air ingress behind most frost build-up.

What freezer repair costs in North Dakota

National ranges for parts and labor together, before the $50–$120 diagnostic. Labor tracks local wages and drive time, so metro North Dakota sits toward the top of each range and rural calls toward the bottom, while the part costs about the same anywhere. Nothing here is a quote.

Door or lid gasketChest freezer gaskets are often a homeowner job.$120–$280
Thermostat or cold controlCommon on older manual-defrost units.$150–$300
Evaporator fan motor (upright)The cause of warm shelves with a working compressor.$180–$350
Defrost heater or defrost thermostatFrost-free models only.$200–$400
Compressor start relayCheap part; confirm the compressor itself is sound.$150–$300

12–16 years, and chest freezers regularly exceed that. They have the fewest moving parts of any appliance in the house — no fan, no defrost system, no icemaker. When replacing beats repairing covers the 4 cases where the maths turns, in full.

Freezer repair in North Dakota — common questions

How many freezer repair pros are listed in North Dakota?
7 businesses listed in North Dakota name freezer repair among the work they do — 88% of the 8 businesses this directory holds for the state, 32nd of the 50 states with any, out of 402 listed nationwide — 2% of them. Fargo accounts for 2 of them. The directory is a sample of the market, not a register of every company trading in North Dakota.
Which freezer repair companies are rated highest in North Dakota?
Appliance Pros in Fargo at 5.0 on 150 reviews, The Repair Man in Fargo at 4.6 on 112 reviews, R&A Appliance LLC in Bismarck at 4.5 on 78 reviews — that is the order the list on this page uses. Ratings and review counts come from the businesses' own public profiles and are not verified here.
How much does freezer repair cost in North Dakota?
Expect $150–$400 for a common freezer repair, parts and labor together, on top of a $50–$120 diagnostic fee that most companies credit against the work if you go ahead. Those are national bands, not North Dakota quotes: labor rates track local wages and drive time, so a dense metro sits at the top of each range and a rural call at the bottom, while the part itself costs about the same anywhere. Get written estimates from two or three of the 7 listed here before authorizing anything.
Which North Dakota city has the most freezer repair companies?
Fargo, with 2 of the 7 — 29% of the group — followed by Bismarck on 1. 6 North Dakota cities in total have at least one.
Are freezer repair technicians licensed in North Dakota?
All 7 listed here state that they are licensed, and all state that they carry insurance. 6 also show a Better Business Bureau accreditation. Licensing for appliance repair is set state by state and sometimes by city or county, so the reliable check is the paperwork: ask which license the company works under, get the number, and confirm it with the issuing authority. Two requirements are national rather than local — sealed refrigerant work needs federal EPA Section 608 certification, and gas work needs a technician qualified for gas appliances.
Can I get same-day or emergency freezer repair in North Dakota?
None of the 7 listed here advertises round-the-clock emergency cover, though 1 advertises same-day service. Same-day appointments for common faults are still routine in the trade. Call early in the day and ask directly — a technician who already has the part on the van can often fit you in.
Which freezer brands do North Dakota repair pros service?
The freezer pros listed in North Dakota name 8 distinct brands between them. The most widely covered are Frigidaire (7), GE (7), LG (7), Maytag (7), Samsung (7), Whirlpool (7). Freezer parts are widely interchangeable and most technicians who service refrigerators service freezers. The exception is a built-in or column freezer from Sub-Zero, Thermador or Viking, which needs the same brand-specific coverage as the matching refrigerator.
How long have North Dakota freezer repair companies been in business?
3 of the 7 publish one. The longest-established has been trading since 2004, and the median across those that say is 21 years. Use it as one signal among several: what matters more is whether the technician has opened your platform before, and whether the warranty term is written on the invoice.
Should I repair or replace my freezer?
Apply the 50% rule. A new freezer averages $600 in the US and lasts about 15 years, so a repair quote over roughly $300 on a unit past 10 years old is usually money better spent on a replacement. Below that line, with life left on the clock, repair almost always wins. Ask for parts and labor as separate figures — it is normally the part, not the hours, that pushes a quote past the threshold.
What should I have ready before calling a freezer technician in North Dakota?
Chest or upright, and frost-free or manual-defrost. The current internal temperature from a thermometer, not the dial setting. Where the unit lives — garage, basement, or heated space. Having those three answers ready is what turns a diagnose-then-return-visit into a single trip.
