It depends, and here is on what. Below is what each job starts at for built-in refrigeration in South Florida, and the range the market quotes around it. Both are honest starting points rather than a price for your unit: the model, how it is built into the cabinetry and which part it actually needs move the figure in either direction. from $95 — diagnostic, credited to the repair 7 — jobs we publish figures for In writing — the price, before anything is opened On site — where the exact cost is settled ## Starting figures, and the range the market quotes The "from" figure is where a job of this kind starts on built-in refrigeration here. The range beside it is what repair companies across South Florida publish for the same work — useful for orientation, and quoted so you can see where our starting point sits against it. Every figure on this page is a starting point or a market range for South Florida, not a quote for your unit. What moves it: the model, how the unit is built into the cabinetry, which part it needs and how quickly that part can be sourced. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic and agreed with you in writing before any work begins — never over the phone. Diagnostic visit from $95, credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Diagnostic visit — South Florida service calls run about $59–$129. Ours is credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Door gasket replacement — Published Miami rates of $100–$190 per door are for freestanding units; a built-in door is heavier and takes longer to set. Condenser fan and coil service — Fan motors are commonly quoted $100–$260 installed on freestanding units. A clean costs a fraction of a motor. Control board replacement — Boards vary more by series than anything else on this list, and legacy parts are scarcer. We confirm the board before ordering one. Evaporator replacement — Quoted at $2,000–$3,000 when combined with sealed system work; on its own it sits well below that. Sealed system repair — Typically $1,200–$2,500 in South Florida. A dual-refrigeration cabinet has two systems, priced separately. Compressor replacement — Typically $1,400–$2,800 all in. A built-in compressor costs several times a mainstream one. ## A firm price before the diagnosis is a guess with a decimal point. Two units with the same symptom routinely need different work. A cabinet running warm on one side can be a condenser choked with dust, a fan motor out of range, a tired gasket, a defrost circuit or the sealed system — and those sit hundreds of dollars apart. The display code narrows it; it does not decide it. So the visit starts with a diagnosis. You get the scope and the price **in writing before anything is opened**, and you approve it first. If the answer turns out to be that the repair is not worth what the unit is worth, we will say that too — it is a shorter conversation than the alternative. ## What each figure covers Open a job to see what the work involves and what pushes its cost up or down. No cost pages published yet. Call [(305) 570-1472](tel:+13055701472) with the model and what the unit is doing, and we will tell you the range before we come out. ## Four things that decide where in the range your repair lands None of them can be judged over the phone, which is the whole reason the figures above are ranges. The unit itself - Series and age — legacy parts are scarcer - Dual refrigeration means two sealed systems - Column, undercounter and outdoor units differ How it is installed - Boxed into cabinetry on three sides adds hours - Panelled doors have to come off and go back true - High-rise access is planned, not improvised The part - OEM parts are ordered to the model - Some legacy parts take days to source - One failure sometimes takes a second part with it What we find - A code narrows the cause; it does not confirm it - The cheap fix is checked before the expensive one - You approve the scope before anything is opened ## Tell us the model number and the symptom, and we will tell you the range. We cannot price your repair sight unseen, and anyone who does is guessing. What we can do on the phone is narrow it: with the model number and a description of what the unit is doing, we will tell you which of the figures above your job is likely to sit near, and what would push it to the other end. That costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If it sounds like a job worth doing, the diagnostic visit settles the exact figure on site — and it comes off the bill when you go ahead. **Call [(305) 570-1472](tel:+13055701472)**, or describe the unit in the form above. ## Questions we get about cost How much does it cost to repair a Sub-Zero refrigerator? — It depends on the job. Gasket and condenser work start in the low hundreds; sealed system and compressor work start in the low thousands and are typically quoted $1,200–$2,800 across South Florida. Those are starting points and market ranges, not a price for your unit — the exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic and agreed with you before any work begins. Why will you not give me a firm price over the phone? — Because the same symptom has several possible causes that sit hundreds of dollars apart, and only one of them is yours. A firm number before the diagnosis would either be padded to cover the worst case or too low to honor. We would rather tell you the range, then confirm the figure once we have seen the unit. Is the diagnostic fee credited toward the repair? — Yes. The diagnostic visit starts at $95 and is credited toward the work when you go ahead with it, so on a job we carry out it is not an extra line on the bill. Are these prices higher than for a regular refrigerator? — For the same named job, usually yes, and the reason is the equipment rather than the postcode. Built-in parts cost more than mainstream ones — a built-in compressor is several times the price — and a unit fitted into cabinetry takes longer to reach. Most figures published online are for freestanding units, which is worth knowing when you compare. When is a repair not worth it? — When the work approaches what the unit is worth, or when a second major failure is likely to follow the first. On well-kept built-in refrigeration that is rare — these units are built to be repaired — but when we think you are better off not spending the money, we will tell you so on the visit. ## How repair pricing works, and why we publish ranges ### A starting point is not a quote Every figure on this page is where a job of that kind starts on built-in refrigeration in South Florida, together with the range companies here publish for the same work. Neither is a price for your unit, and we do not present them as one. The exact cost is settled after an on-site diagnostic and agreed with you in writing before anything is opened. ### What actually moves the number - **The unit.** Series and age, single or dual refrigeration, column, undercounter or outdoor - **The installation.** Boxed into cabinetry on three sides, panelled doors, a high-rise with a service elevator window - **The part.** OEM parts ordered to the model, and legacy parts that can take days to source - **What we find.** The cheap cause is checked before the expensive one, and sometimes one failure has taken a second component with it ### Why published figures often look lower Most repair prices online are for mainstream freestanding refrigerators. A built-in compressor costs several times a mainstream one, and a unit fitted into cabinetry takes longer to reach — so a figure quoted for a freestanding unit is not a like-for-like comparison. We would rather explain that than publish a number we could not honor on arrival. ### The diagnostic fee The visit starts at $95 and is credited toward the repair when you go ahead, so on a job we carry out it is not an extra line on the bill. If the honest answer is that the repair is not worth what the unit is worth, you get that answer on the visit — it is a shorter conversation than the alternative. ### What our warranty covers We are an independent repair company, not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by any manufacturer. Our warranty covers the labor we performed; parts carry the part maker’s own warranty. We do not carry out repairs claimed under a manufacturer’s warranty — those go through their own network. ## Get the range now, the figure after the diagnosis.
