Why us
Why Homeowners Choose Us
A built-in refrigerator is joinery as much as it is refrigeration. Both halves have to go right.
We See This Every Day
Dual evaporators, mullion heaters, dampers, drawer rails and ice systems on French door models are familiar before the panel is off. We diagnose the system, not just the symptom.
OEM Parts on the Truck
Evaporator fans, defrost heaters, thermostats, inlet valves, door gaskets and common control boards ride with the technician.
Written Quote Before We Start
A firm price on site. It does not change once work starts.
Up to 1 Year Warranty
Parts and labor, in writing. Same fault inside that window and we return at no charge.
Built-In and Panel-Ready
Doors and drawers carrying custom millwork come off and go back without marking your cabinetry.
Same Day, 7 Days a Week
A warming refrigerator is not a next-week problem. Same-day slots are held open including weekends.

Sub-Zero CL4850UFD/O: Ice Maker Not Making Ice
Model: CL4850UFD/O
Symptom
The refrigerator's ice maker had stopped making ice.
What we found
Service required access to the refrigerator's upper control compartment. The main control board was the component selected for replacement, along with maintenance. The main board coordinates appliance functions and can interrupt ice production even when the ice-maker hardware is otherwise intact. Access through the upper service area allows the board connections to be inspected and the replacement fitted without confusing this fault with a separate water-supply repair.
Repair
The main control board was replaced, and the refrigerator received maintenance during the same service. Electrical plugs were transferred carefully and checked for secure contact. The control area was reassembled, then appliance response and ice-maker operation were checked as the refrigerator returned to service.
Parts and service
Main control board; diagnostic service; refrigerator maintenance.
Result
The refrigerator controls responded normally, and the ice maker was working again. The customer could use the appliance without the earlier interruption to ice production.

Gasket Replacement and Water Leak Service on a Sub-Zero BI-42UFD
Model: BI-42UFD/S/PH
Symptom
Water was leaking around the refrigerator, and the door seals also needed attention.
What we found
The water supply tubing and connector were accessible behind the refrigerator. The service covered the freezer seal and both refrigerator door seals, as well as the water leak. Door-gasket condition and water leakage needed to be handled as separate issues. A worn seal affects cabinet moisture and cooling, while the tubing and connector behind the appliance require their own inspection for water escaping around a connection.
Repair
The freezer gasket and both refrigerator gaskets were replaced as part of the service. The condenser was cleaned, and the water leak received separate repair attention. The work addressed both moisture around the appliance and the condition of the door seals. The replacement gaskets were seated around the door edges and adjusted for even contact as the doors closed. Access to the water tubing allowed the leak area to be attended to independently, while condenser cleaning removed dirt from the upper heat-release section.
Parts and service
Freezer door gasket; two refrigerator door gaskets; condenser cleaning; water-leak service.
Result
The refrigerator doors closed with an even seal, and no new water appeared during the final check. The customer was left with a dry area around the appliance and properly closing doors.

Sub-Zero Built-In Refrigerator Removal and Placement Adjustment
Model: Model not readable
Symptom
The refrigerator needed to be moved so damaged flooring underneath it could be repaired.
What we found
The built-in unit had to be detached before the flooring crew could move it. Its upper machinery arrangement and connection to wall wiring made this more involved than simply pulling out a freestanding refrigerator. The surrounding kitchen was already undergoing floor work.
Repair
The built-in refrigerator was prepared for removal by freeing the installation connections and attending to the surrounding fit and alignment. Its upper machinery arrangement and wall connection required careful handling while it was detached. Placement adjustments were part of the service so the flooring area could be accessed without treating the appliance as a freestanding unit.
Parts and service
Built-in refrigerator detachment; removal and placement adjustment.
Result
The refrigerator was ready for the flooring work beneath it. Its placement and connection points were checked so the next stage of the room repair could proceed safely.
Common faults
What Goes Wrong with a French Door Refrigerator
Twin upper doors, a lower freezer drawer, dual cooling and an ice system create several failure patterns that look similar from the kitchen.
Fresh Food Warm, Freezer Still Cold
A failed evaporator fan, blocked air channel or stuck damper can stop cold air from reaching the upper cabinet while the freezer continues to hold temperature.
Mullion Flap Will Not Close
The folding center flap must enter its guide every time the left door closes. Hinge movement or a worn guide leaves a warm-air gap between the doors.
Condensation Between the Doors
Moisture around the center seal usually points to door alignment, the mullion heater or a gasket that no longer contacts evenly.
Ice Maker Stopped Producing
The fill tube, inlet valve, temperature sensor and ice-maker module must all agree before a harvest cycle starts. Testing them separately prevents guesswork.
Freezer Drawer Will Not Seal Square
Heavy food loads and panel-ready fronts stress the rails. Once the drawer sits low, frost forms along the top edge and the compressor begins running longer.
Water Under the Freezer Drawer
A frozen defrost drain backs melt water onto the freezer floor, where it turns to ice or runs out when the drawer opens.
One Side Is Warmer Than the Other
Dual evaporators and multiple sensors can produce an uneven temperature pattern. Readings under load identify whether airflow, sensing or refrigeration is responsible.
Display Dark or Unresponsive
The refrigerator may keep cooling with a failed interface, damaged harness or communication fault. The main control is not automatically the cause.

Questions
French Door Refrigerator FAQ
Straight answers before you book.
The refrigerator is warm but the freezer is cold. Is the compressor bad?
Usually not. That split points first to airflow, a fan, a damper or frost blocking the upper compartment. A temperature and airflow check separates those faults quickly.
Why is there moisture between the two upper doors?
The center mullion must fold flat and both gaskets must meet it evenly. Door alignment, a damaged gasket or a mullion-heater fault can each create the same condensation.
Can you realign a heavy panel-ready freezer drawer?
Yes. The panel, rails and drawer are checked together so the gasket seals evenly without marking the cabinetry.
Why did the ice maker stop while the refrigerator still cools?
The ice system has its own fill valve, tube, sensor and module. Any one can stop production even when both food compartments are at the correct temperature.
Will you need to remove the custom panels?
For some hinge, rail and sealed-system work, yes. Panels and mounting hardware are removed, protected and reinstalled as part of the visit.
Do you use original Sub-Zero parts?
We identify OEM parts from the full model and serial number because boards, valves and fans can change between production runs.
How much does French door refrigerator repair cost?
The technician diagnoses the unit on site and gives you a firm written price before work begins. The quoted price does not change once the repair starts.
