Should I repair or replace my Sub-Zero Refrigerator?

Sub-zero refrigerators should last for many years. However, you may find that your sub-zero fridge has started to break down or begin to suffer from minor faults, which can be annoying as a homeowner.

If you’re trying to decide whether to have your sub-zero refrigerator repaired or whether it’s best to buy a new one, there are things to consider. Ultimately, your decision will come down to the cause of the problem, your budget, and perhaps your family’s needs.

Here are some things to think about before making your decision.

The Age of Your Sub-Zero Refrigerator

Sub-zero refrigerators are designed to last up to twenty years. Various factors, such as the user level, temperature control, maintenance, service, and repair, can impact its life expectancy.

Consider the Problem

Sub-zero refrigerators often suffer from issues such as insufficient cooling, which can be the result of an evaporator or condenser motor failure and a problem with the start relay. A second problem can be leaking water, resulting from the cracked water filter housing, a leak from the water tank assembly, and the water inlet valve. If the vacuum condenser light is on, this is a sign your fridge may be working too hard to stay cold. The condenser coils may be dirty, or there can be a hole in the evaporator coil.

Consider the Cost
