Repair cost
Sub-Zero sealed system repair cost
Refrigerant circuit work, where the diagnosis matters more than the part. A cabinet that cools unevenly, frosts in one zone or runs warm on one side often points here rather than at the control board.

What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
Where the leak is
A joint reachable at the back is one job. A leak in a coil buried in the cabinet is another, and the difference is access rather than refrigerant.
-
One system or two
Dual-refrigeration cabinets carry two sealed systems and are priced per system. If only one side is in trouble, that is the side that is quoted.
-
What has to be replaced with it
The filter drier goes every time — it has been holding moisture since the leak started. Where a compressor or a valve has been damaged by running low on charge, that is the part that moves the figure.

What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

About Sub-Zero sealed system repair cost
Where the range comes from
Companies across South Florida publish $1,200–$2,500 for full sealed system work, and our starting figure sits at the bottom of that. The spread is genuine: leak detection, refrigerant recovery, filter drier and line repairs, evacuation and recharge is a job measured in hours, and how many depends on the unit.
What moves it
- A dual-refrigeration cabinet has two sealed systems, priced separately
- Access — a unit boxed into cabinetry takes longer before the work even starts
- Whether the evaporator or the compressor turns out to be involved
What we verify before leaving
The unit is run back to its set point and checked, not simply closed up and handed over. A sealed system repair that has not been verified under load is not finished.

Before you book
Questions about Sub-Zero sealed system repair cost
Where does the $1,200–$2,500 range come from?
It is what companies across South Florida publish for full sealed system work. Our starting figure sits at the bottom of it.
What decides where in the range mine lands?
Whether the cabinet has one sealed system or two, how it is built into the cabinetry, and whether the evaporator or the compressor turns out to be involved.
Can you just add refrigerant and see if it holds?
No. A sealed system that has lost its charge has lost it somewhere, and recharging without finding the leak sells you the same repair again in a season. Finding it is part of the job.
Is it worth repairing, or should I replace the cabinet?
That depends on the age of the unit and where the leak is, and it is a conversation we have on the visit — before the invoice, not after. On some cabinets the answer really is to stop.
