Six kinds of equipment, one trade. Every unit below is built into cabinetry rather than standing in a gap, which changes how we plan the visit as much as it changes the repair. Tell us which one you have and what it is doing, and we will tell you what it usually points to. 6 — types of unit we repair 3 — counties covered end to end OEM — parts available on order from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair ## What we repair, and what usually goes wrong with it Each card lists the symptoms we are called out for most often on that unit. Start with the one that matches yours — the page behind it goes into the codes, the parts and what the work costs. No appliance types published yet. Call [(305) 570-1472](tel:+13055701472) and tell us what the unit is doing — we will say whether it is something we handle. ## A unit installed into cabinetry is a different job before anyone opens it. A freestanding refrigerator gets pulled out and worked on from behind. A built-in unit does not move: it is fitted into a run of cabinetry, panelled to match it, plumbed for water, and often boxed in on three sides. The condenser is reached through the grille, the compressor from below, and how much of that is possible depends on how the kitchen was built around it. So we ask about the model and the installation before the visit, not on arrival. It decides which parts ride in the van, how long the appointment runs, and whether we need the service elevator booked in a high-rise. **The exact cost is confirmed on site**, once we have seen the unit and agreed the scope with you. ## The repairs behind those symptoms The same handful of jobs covers all six unit types. If you already know what the unit needs, these are the pages with the starting figures on them. ## Three things shorten the life of refrigeration in South Florida None of them are unusual here, and all three are cheaper to prevent than to repair. Year-round heat - Condensers run harder for more months of the year - Cleaning is seasonal here, not annual - A struggling condenser shortens the compressor's life Salt air near the water - Coils and fan motors corrode years ahead of schedule - Outdoor and poolside units take it worst - Barrier islands and waterfront homes see it first Storms and power outages - A unit that will not restart after an outage is common - Control boards and start components take the hit - Worth checking the same week, not the same season ## If it keeps something cold, it belongs on this page. The six types above are what this brand builds, so they are what we publish. Refrigeration is the whole catalog — there is no oven, no dishwasher and no laundry in it, and a page claiming otherwise would be selling you something we do not do. What the list does not cover is every configuration. Column pairs, dual-refrigeration cabinets, glass-door units, drawers under an island, an ice maker out by the pool: they are all in scope even where no card names them. If you are not sure which of the six yours is, the model number on the plate inside the door tells us in one call. **Call [(305) 570-1472](tel:+13055701472)**, or use the form above and describe the unit in your own words. ## Questions we get about the equipment Do you repair freestanding Sub-Zero units as well as built-in ones? — Yes. Most of what we see in South Florida is built in, and that is what shapes the visit, but a freestanding or panel-ready unit is the same equipment underneath and the same repair. My wine cabinet is a couple of degrees off. Is that worth a visit? — It is. A wine cabinet rarely stops outright — it drifts, holds the wrong humidity, and says nothing about it. In a market full of second homes that can go unnoticed for a season, and the collection pays for it. A drifting zone is worth looking at early. The outdoor unit stopped working after a storm. What usually causes that? — Most often it is the start components or the control board rather than the sealed system, and the diagnosis is quick. Outdoor units also carry salt-air corrosion on the coils, so we check that at the same visit rather than coming back for it. Do you still work on the older 500, 600 and 700 Series? — Yes, and they are a large share of what we see here — plenty of them were installed when these homes were built. Boards for legacy series can take a few days to source, so we confirm the part is the problem before ordering one. Where do I find the model number? — On the data plate, usually inside the fresh food compartment near the top or along the wall behind the upper drawer. On undercounter and outdoor units it is often behind the grille. A photo of the plate is enough — you do not need to write it down. ## About Sub-Zero built-in refrigeration ### Six types, one trade Sub-Zero builds refrigeration and nothing else: columns and over-and-under cabinets, wine storage, freezers, ice makers, undercounter drawers and beverage centers, and outdoor units. There is no oven, no dishwasher and no laundry in the catalog, so there is none on this site. What the six have in common is that they are built into cabinetry — and that is what shapes the visit as much as the failure itself. ### What tends to go wrong, by unit - **Refrigerators.** Uneven cooling, one warm side on a dual-refrigeration cabinet, sealed system and compressor work - **Wine storage.** A zone drifting off its set temperature, humidity control, vibration, door seals and glass heaters - **Freezers.** Heavy frost, defrost heaters and thermistors, doors that no longer seal - **Ice makers.** No ice or slow production, cloudy ice instead of clear, leaks and drain blockages - **Undercounter and drawers.** Units running warm, control and display problems, condenser access in tight cabinetry - **Outdoor refrigeration.** Heat-stressed sealed systems, salt-air corrosion, trouble restarting after a storm ### Legacy series are still worth repairing A large share of the equipment in South Florida homes is from the 500, 600 and 700 Series — installed when these kitchens were built and still working. Boards and some components for them are scarcer than for current models, so we confirm the part is the problem before ordering it, and we say plainly when a repair is not worth what the unit is worth. ### Model numbers The data plate is usually inside the fresh food compartment near the top, or along the wall behind the upper drawer; on undercounter and outdoor units it is often behind the grille. A photograph of it is enough — it tells us the series, the configuration and which parts fit, before anyone drives anywhere. ## Tell us which unit it is, and what it is doing. We will bring the parts that problem usually needs, and you will have a firm price before we start. --- **[Read full article: Appliances archive](https://subzeromiami.support/appliances-archive/)**
