Common Sub-Zero Issues
Why is my Sub-Zero refrigerator not cooling properly?
Common causes include dirty condenser coils, faulty door seals, blocked air vents, or temperature control issues. Our technicians can diagnose the exact problem and provide professional repair with genuine Sub-Zero parts.
My Sub-Zero ice maker isn't working. What should I do?
Check if the ice maker is turned on and the water supply is connected. If the problem persists, it could be a water filter issue, frozen water lines, or a faulty ice maker assembly. Professional diagnosis is recommended.
How often should I replace my Sub-Zero water filter?
Sub-Zero water filters should be replaced every 6 months or when the filter status light indicates replacement is needed. Using genuine Sub-Zero filters ensures optimal performance and water quality.
Why is my Sub-Zero making unusual noises?
Unusual noises can indicate compressor issues, fan problems, or loose components. While some operational sounds are normal, persistent loud or grinding noises should be evaluated by a professional technician.
Service & Repair Questions
Do you use genuine Sub-Zero parts?
Yes, we exclusively use genuine Sub-Zero OEM parts for all repairs. This ensures proper fit, function, and maintains your warranty coverage. Genuine parts are essential for maintaining Sub-Zero's premium performance standards.
How long does a typical Sub-Zero repair take?
Most Sub-Zero repairs are completed in a single visit, typically taking 1-3 hours depending on the issue. Complex repairs requiring special parts may need a follow-up visit. We'll provide a time estimate during diagnosis.
Do you offer same-day service for Sub-Zero appliances?

What warranty do you provide on Sub-Zero repairs?
We provide a 1-year warranty on all Sub-Zero repairs and parts. This covers both labor and genuine Sub-Zero parts, giving you confidence in our work and protection for your investment.
Maintenance & Care
How often should I clean my Sub-Zero condenser coils?
Condenser coils should be cleaned every 6 months to maintain optimal efficiency. Dirty coils make the compressor work harder, leading to higher energy costs and potential breakdowns. We offer professional cleaning service.
What temperature should I set my Sub-Zero refrigerator?
The ideal temperature for the refrigerator section is 38°F (3°C) and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer. These temperatures ensure food safety while maximizing energy efficiency.
Should I repair or replace my older Sub-Zero appliance?
Sub-Zero appliances are built to last decades. If your unit is under 15 years old, repair is typically more cost-effective. Our technicians can assess your appliance and provide honest recommendations based on its condition.
