If condenser is clean, and everything seems to be working fine, most likely You will have a leak of freon(very slow usually) and 90% of the chance You will need to get quote to replace evaporator coils. Watch this video, might help to troubleshoot. Hope that helps.

I have a SubZero 690. Freezer is not working at all, Refrigerator is fine! Two different compressors or refrigertion units?

Hi, and no, you have only one compressor for this unit.It sounds as though your defrost timer is not working on the evaporator, stuck in the defrost cycle, and this is why its not freezing. It could be several different reasons the freezer stopped working. Check the fan in the freezer to see if its running.The defrost timer should be located behind the unit at the lower section. If this unit has a panel that is removable, you can take it off to find the timer and take a flat head screw driver to see if you can give it a 1/4 turn, as it may be stuck in defrost.While you are there, you will see the compressor, condenser fan motor, and condenser coil also. Clean this coil while your there and make sure the fan is up and running. If its not running, but the compressor is, the motor has failed. Take these steps and let me know the outcome.

Subzero model 532 fridge not cooling well, freezer ok

Did u check condenser on the top behind the grill? If it's clean, check unit for evaporator freon leaking. Light....Possibly bad bulbs behind that plastic light cover or light switch - one of them located on upper portion of door frame.

We have been getting service code 50 for our SubZero -- it;s a 690 model fridge/freezer. I cleaned everything however over last three weeks the error repeats. I reset the board by pulling power from the...

Error code 50 means excessive refrierator section compressor run. Possible causes include: dirty condenser, stopped condenser motor, faulty termistor or an evaporator refrigerant leak. If it is a refrigerant leak it usually shows up as frost or water driplets half way down on the back wall. Clear codes by holding the alarm button in for 15 seconds.

Subzero 532 refridge cooling but freezer won't freeze

Unit has separate compressors and thermostat's. Clean the condenser, if it doesn't improve call for service, as there is a decent chance you will need sealed system work or defrost issue. If you need instructions on cleaning the condenser check subzero.com.also try advanceing the defrost timer as they mostly die in the defrost cycle. Behind the grille there will be a panel with a small hole in it with a screw above and below. Use a flat blde screw driver to turn the gray piece in th small hole clockwise a few clicks. If the freezer comes back on you will need to replace the defrost timer.

Compressor area above refrigerator is getting very hot

Hi,


Check Thermostat.
Proper Cleaning/Defrosting of fridge and freezer.
Proper Placing and Distance from wall.
If your hand bear the body temperature of that specific area then its normal.
Contact technician to verify Freon pressure.


Best of Luck,

Subzero 690 flashing EC and service

If you replace the fan and clean the coils, and the refrigerator STILL does not cool, then contact SubZero or a service provider for an evaporator coil replacement.  Units manufacturer before mid-2003 had copper+aluminum coils that would corrode and allow all of the coolant to escape.  The (should be warranty) replacement is all aluminum.
Note the freezer does not have this issue due to the lack of liquid water.
