DRZ36980
Dacor DRZ36980 36-Inch Freezer Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Frost along the door gasket
- Compressor cycling constantly
- Cooling Off mode (oF on the display)
- Ice maker fill
The DRZ36980 is a current 36-inch column freezer with 21.4 cubic feet of space and an ice maker for Cocktail and Standard Ice. It comes in left-hinge and right-hinge versions and runs on a 115-volt, 15-amp circuit.
On a freezer this size, frost along the door gasket is a clear sign that air is getting in, so we inspect the seal and door alignment before anything else. A compressor that runs constantly can be a result of that leak, a dirty condenser or a weak evaporator fan, and we separate those causes with testing rather than guessing. An oF display means Cooling Off mode, which we switch off first.
The ice maker gets the usual checks: water line, filter and fill valve. We pull the model and serial number from the label to match any parts, and you receive a written price before work. Our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Why is there frost along the door gasket?
Frost at the gasket means warm, moist air is entering. We check the seal for wear, the door alignment and whether the unit is level.
My freezer compressor never seems to stop. Is that normal?
It should cycle. Constant running can come from an air leak at the door, a dirty condenser or a failing fan. We test each of those and tell you which one it is.
What circuit does this freezer need?
The DRZ36980 uses 115 volts and 15 amps. If it will not start, we check the outlet, the breaker and the cord before opening the cabinet, because a power problem is far simpler to fix than a cooling one.
