If you're in Yukon and your freezer is acting up, you don't have to wait days for a technician or pay overnight shipping on a part. YAP started right here in Yukon back in 2022 — out of a garage, like all good things — and we've been stocking the freezer parts your neighbors actually need ever since. Whether it's a chest freezer that stopped freezing or an upright with a door that won't seal, The YAP Dude has you covered with parts for Frigidaire, Whirlpool, GE, and Maytag. Swing by our Piedmont shop — just 12 minutes up Garth Brooks Blvd and west on Northwest Expressway — and walk out with the right part the same day.

Common Freezer Problems We Fix
Freezer Won't Hold Temperature
A failed thermostat is usually the culprit. Swapping in a new thermostat restores accurate temperature control and stops the freeze-thaw cycle that ruins your food.
Frost Buildup on Everything
A burned-out defrost heater lets ice accumulate until airflow is completely blocked. Replacing the defrost heater gets your unit back to a clean automatic defrost cycle.
Ice Maker Stopped Producing Ice
When the ice maker module fails, the whole harvest cycle shuts down. A new module is usually a straightforward swap that has ice dropping again within a few hours.
Door Lets Warm Air In
A cracked or stiff door gasket breaks the seal and makes your compressor work overtime. A replacement gasket snaps or screws into place and immediately improves efficiency.
Evaporator Coil Freezing Over
A damaged evaporator coil or a failing coil cover can cause excessive frost and poor cooling. We stock replacement coil components for the most common Whirlpool and Frigidaire configurations.
Interior Light Is Out
It sounds minor, but the wrong freezer lightbulb can shorten its own life due to the cold environment. We carry the right appliance-rated bulbs so the fix actually sticks.

“I was not certain how to go about getting parts for my oven that had failed about 2 months ago and I was stressing out over how to get the parts for an oven that I hadn’t seen locally. Thankfully YAP in Piedmont was there to save the day. Morgan was very helpful and even called …”
Do you stock freezer parts specifically for Yukon customers, or is this more of a regional warehouse?
We're genuinely a Yukon-rooted shop — we started here and most of our walk-in customers are coming from Yukon neighborhoods. The Piedmont location is a quick trip, and we keep high-turnover freezer parts on the shelf specifically because of local demand.
How do I know if I need a new thermostat or a new defrost heater?
If your freezer runs constantly but never gets cold enough, suspect the thermostat. If you're seeing heavy frost buildup or ice walls inside the cabinet, the defrost heater is the more likely failure. Bring us your model number and we can point you to the right part.
Do you carry parts for older Maytag and GE freezers?
Yes — older appliances are a big part of what we do. Bring in the model number from the data plate and we'll track down the right thermostat, gasket, or whatever else you need, even on units that are 10-plus years old.
Can I text you a photo of the broken part before I drive over?
Absolutely. Text a photo and your appliance model number to 405-876-8100 and The YAP Dude will confirm we have the part in stock before you make the trip. That's the fastest way to avoid a wasted drive.
Is it worth repairing a freezer, or should I just buy a new one?
For most single-part failures — a door gasket, a defrost heater, an ice maker module — repair almost always wins on cost. If the compressor is gone on an older unit, that math changes, but we'll give you an honest answer when you call or text.
