Both chest and upright freezers require maintenance in order to continue functioning properly. If you choose a chest freezer that needs manual defrost, it should be regularly cleaned of ice in order to avoid the appliance freezing over. However, upright freezers are generally self-defrosting and have fewer components that may need maintenance over time.

Freezers should be positioned at least six inches from other appliances and walls to allow for adequate ventilation. Also, they should have an inch clearance behind them to be cleaned or swept if required. Additionally, all freezers should be inspected regularly to ensure that the door seal is still in place and is not showing signs of wear.

It is also important to clean the condenser coils of your freezer and its cooling fan regularly. This will help prevent dust, pet hair and lint accumulation on the freezer, which could cause it to work harder. Be sure to unplug the freezer prior to cleaning, and always use a bristle brush with a long handle and a vacuum cleaner compatible with freezers. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives or household cleaners that can damage the freezer's interior. Before performing any maintenance work on a freezer, read the manufacturer's instructions.
