If a Sub-Zero ice maker stops producing ice or begins leaking, the issue is often internal and cannot be properly repaired inside the home. Ice makers are complex sealed components that rely on precise water flow, refrigeration pressure, and temperature control. Over time, internal parts wear out, mineral buildup forms, and small leaks or mechanical failures can develop. We recently serviced a Sub-Zero ice maker for a customer in San Diego that was producing little to no ice. The unit was still powered on, but performance was inconsistent. After inspection, we determined that the repair required full disassembly and detailed diagnostics that are not possible on-site. For this reason, we removed the ice maker and transported it to our workshop. In our shop, the unit was completely disassembled, tested, and repaired using manufacturer-approved procedures. Worn components were replaced, internal passages were cleaned, and the system was carefully inspected to ensure reliable operation. After repairs were completed, the ice maker was tested for proper ice production, leak-free operation, and stable performance. Once testing was complete, the ice maker was delivered back to the customer and reinstalled. The unit returned to normal ice production. Problems like this develop gradually. Early signs include reduced ice output, unusual noises, or intermittent operation. Addressing these issues early helps prevent more serious damage. Big Joe Appliance Repair services Sub-Zero ice makers throughout San Diego County and is always available to help.

If a Sub-Zero refrigerator is running but not cooling well, the problem is often the evaporator. This part is located behind the rear panel and is responsible for making cold air. Over time, the metal can wear out and a refrigerant leak can start. We recently repaired a compact Sub-Zero 700BR2 refrigerator in a home located in Rancho Santa Fe. The refrigerator was running, but the temperature inside was too warm. Our diagnosis showed a leak in the evaporator coil. It is important to understand that problems like refrigerant leaks happen slowly, not all at once. At first, the refrigerator starts running longer than normal. The air coming from the compressor feels very warm. Later, the unit may hardly turn off at all. Over time, the temperature inside keeps getting warmer and warmer until the refrigerator can no longer cool properly. Finding this problem early is very important. If a refrigerator keeps running with a leak, the compressor can become overloaded and fail. When that happens, the repair becomes much more expensive and may require a full system rebuild. During this repair, we replaced the evaporator coil, the suction line with the capillary tube, and the filter drier. The system was fully flushed, vacuumed, and recharged with refrigerant. The compressor was also checked for proper operating pressure. All work was done according to Sub-Zero factory standards. After the repair, the refrigerator returned to normal and stable cooling. Sub-Zero refrigerators are built to last, but over time even high-quality parts can wear out. In compact models like the 700BR2, an evaporator problem can affect the entire refrigerator. Things to watch for: The refrigerator runs longer than it used to Cooling takes more time than before The compressor rarely turns off The refrigerator does not feel the same as it used to If you own a Sub-Zero refrigerator or any other brand, do not ignore small changes. Small problems can turn into big and expensive repairs. If you have any questions or notice changes in how your refrigerator is working, feel free to call Big Joe Appliance Repair to schedule a diagnostic visit. We will be happy to help. We service Sub-Zero refrigerators throughout San Diego and San Diego County, including Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Peñasquitos, La Jolla, Del Mar, and Cardiff, Rancho Bernardo, Solana Beach, San Elijo.

Today a customer contacted our team and complained about bad cooling of their built-in refrigerator Sub Zero. We were glad to take the order. Our experienced technician visited the client as soon as he could. It is usually difficult to quickly find the root cause of such an issue. Many reasons could lead to the problem as the internal system producing cold consists of several parts. A thorough search showed that there was a leakage of refrigerant in the fridge. Further diagnostics made it visible that refrigerant leaked through the service valve. The bad part was successfully and accurately replaced. After the replacement of the valve, the refrigerator was charged with new refrigerant. Now owners enjoy their built-in home appliances. We are always ready to help with home refrigeration systems.

Our team can successfully repair new and innovative home appliances equipped with modern energy-effective assemblies as well. Our staff can resolve common problems quickly. Today we encounter such an issue. A customer contacted us and complained about his French door refrigerator LG. He said that the temperature in the Fresh Food section is rather high. He was afraid of food spoilage. We sent the repair man immediately. Upon arrival, he checked the temperature of the Fresh Food. It was indeed high. The root cause of the issue became visible after a quick search. Malfunctioning linear compressor is a common problem in LG refrigerators. A trained specialist replaced the device accurately without delay. We have all the spare parts for these refrigerators and can repair them on the same day. Now the owners use their ice machine as before.
