My subzero 650 bottom freezer working top part not working (warm)

My subzero 650 top part (the fridge) is not working but the drawer freezer is. What can we do?

    your 650 unit does not take Freon. It uses r134a refrigerant. Your sealed system warranty is five years parts and labor. 12 years parts only. There are many problems that can cause it not to cool in the refrigerator section. I called the authorized service or in your area.

Most likely refrigerator section is low on freon if all fans are working and compressor is running. Somewhere leak in sealed system in 90% of cases its evaporator coils(they always sweating, always wet). Sealed system has warranty 6 years parts and labor and 11 years on parts only. Try to call subzero direct first, by serial # they can tell You what is under warranty, its very expensive repair.

Make sure the condenser is clean. Instructions are in your manual or subzero.com. If cleaning it doesn't work call for service

Subzero 650 bottom freezer is pooling water under the veggie drawer

Check you your drain line behind the 2 bottom drawers. Most likely it's clogged. You can try snaking it out with a single foot wire. See if the water goes away from the trough.

My 12 year old subzero fridge (650) is not getting cold. this morning i discovered ice behind the fresh food drawer, removed it, it was running fine, temp 35. now tonight the temp is 51. freezer is fine....

Is it flashing vacuum condenser? Ice behind the crisper drawer shouldn't effect the temp. What is it set at? You can go to www.subzerospecialists.com and click on Tech Help for additional info.

Subzero 650 fridge temp says 34 but is really about 50

Is your thermometer in a glass of water? That's the way to get an accurate temperature reading. You may want to call an authorized servicer.

I have an older model subzero (refrigerator on top and a single drawer freezer on the bottom) which, when the bottom drawer is opened, leaks water. What to do?

Honestly I can't think of any cause for this that wouldn't require a qualified servicer. Most likey one of the drains is blocked and they make heaters to correct the issue

The temperature controls for the refrigerator are not responding. The freezer controls respond just fine. My fridge is set to 34 and I need to get it back to 37 but it won't change the numbers.

please switch off your refrigerator for at least 8 hrs. than again switch it on. if your problem is not cured than it is sure that your refrigerator have the blower problem because for this reason only, the problem arrises ....... please visit your service authority...........have a nice day:-)

Freezer Drawer Stuck

Our 550 bottom freezer drawer froze shut earlier this week and the motor made an unusual sound, like it was working too hard. Two of us eventually were able to open the drawer to find that it had frozen shut due to a leak which filled the ice tray solid and then adhered to the actual door, freezing it shut. We emptied the fridge and freezer, turned the control dials down to 0, but neither the motor nor the light would go off. We finally killed the circuit breaker to get the appliance to shut down. It's cleaned and defrosted and we noticed that the gasket has torn in three places, two on the fridge door and one on the freezer door. The freezer door could be from our tugging, but the refrigerator door is normal wear and tear. We filled the tears with some kind of putty and when it is dry we will start everything up again. This is not the first problem of this nature we have experienced with our subzero 550, but it is the most dramatic. Each previous time we have called a repair man out and he has been unable to fix it.
