Sub-Zero Refrigerator Not Cooling in Edmonds
Built-in and integrated Sub-Zero refrigerators that run warm, cycle without stopping or hold uneven temperatures between shelves.
Not cooling is the job this whole site is built around. Three questions sort most of it before anyone opens a panel:
What owners notice first
- Fresh food side sits around 50°F overnight while the freezer stays rock solid.
- The compressor never shuts off and the grille area feels warm to the hand.
- Water pools under the crisper drawers and refreezes into a sheet.
- The door alarm keeps sounding even though the door is properly closed.
What it costs
Price bands, printed before you call
Each band covers the part and the labour to fit it. Once the fault is found, the technician names one figure inside the matching band, and that is the figure you pay.
One flat $89 service call pays for the visit and the complete diagnosis, and it comes off the repair price when you approve the work.
- Compressor or sealed-system repair Shows as a compressor that clicks and will not start, or refrigerant slowly lost
- $1,300–$3,270
- Door gasket or seal replacement Shows as one section creeping warm, beads of water or frost along a door edge
- $270–$620
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor Shows as a fan that has gone quiet behind the grille, or cold coils behind a warm shelf
- $340–$700
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor Shows as a back panel iced over, or a warm fridge sitting above a freezer that still works
- $290–$690
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line Shows as ice and water trouble, which is a different job from a cooling fault
- $270–$790
- Electronic control board Shows as a lit display and working lights while nothing calls the compressor on
- $420–$880
Where a job lands inside its range depends on which part fails and on whether the unit can be serviced where it stands or has to be eased out of its opening. For scale: a like-for-like new built-in, with the fitting and any cabinet work still to pay on top runs $12,110–$21,200, so the repair is always priced before anyone mentions a new one.

Water kept freezing into a sheet under the crisper drawers. Drain blocked with sludge, its small heater dead. He cleared the line, fitted the heater, then ran a defrost cycle so I could watch it drain.
Our 700 series ran non-stop from spring onward. The condenser was packed solid — salt air off the water, apparently. Cleaned and tested, and it has cycled normally since.
Door alarm kept sounding with the door properly shut. The hinge had dropped after our remodel, so the custom panel held it a hair proud of the frame. Reset and adjusted. Silent now.
Still warm? Ring before the food goes.
Say which side is warm and what the compressor sounds like — that is enough to start. Phone it through, or choose a slot on the booking page. $89 to find out, and the $89 comes off the repair.
