Common Sub-Zero Problems We Solve
Even the most reliable appliances can encounter issues. Recognizing the early warning signs can save you from costly food spoilage and more extensive repairs. Here are some common symptoms that Los Altos Sub-Zero owners face, all of which we are equipped to resolve quickly.
Temperature Problems
Is your refrigerator too warm, or is your freezer not keeping things frozen solid? Unstable temperatures are the most critical issue. This could be due to dirty condenser coils, a faulty evaporator fan, or a sealed system leak. Ignoring this can lead to spoiled food and higher energy bills. We perform precise temperature diagnostics to find the exact cause and restore the ideal climate. Learn more about our refrigerator repair services.
Strange Sounds
Your Sub-Zero should operate with a quiet hum. If you hear loud buzzing, clicking, or grinding, it's a sign of trouble. These noises can indicate a failing compressor or a worn-out fan motor. While some sounds are normal, any new or loud noise warrants a professional inspection. We can identify the source of the sound and replace the faulty component before it leads to a complete breakdown.
Water Leakage
Finding a puddle of water inside or under your Sub-Zero is a common but serious problem. Leaks are often caused by a clogged or frozen defrost drain or a cracked water supply line. Water damage can harm your floors and cabinetry, so it's important to address leaks immediately. Our team can quickly trace the source of the leak and perform a durable repair to keep your kitchen dry. Contact us immediately if you see a leak.
Problems with Door Seals
The gaskets or seals around your Sub-Zero doors are crucial for maintaining an airtight closure. If they are torn, brittle, or loose, cold air will escape. This forces the compressor to run constantly, increasing energy consumption and causing temperature instability. You might notice condensation on the edges of the door. We can replace worn-out gaskets to ensure a perfect seal, improving efficiency and food preservation.
Ice Maker Issues
A malfunctioning ice maker can be frustrating. Whether it's producing no ice, small cubes, or leaking, the problem can usually be traced to a clogged water line or a faulty water inlet valve. We are familiar with all Sub-Zero ice maker configurations and can restore its function quickly. See our ice maker repair page for more details.
