Sub-Zero Refrigerator - Clogged Condenser Solution

Your Sub-Zero refrigerator needs a regular cleaning and proper maintenance if you don’t want to lose its efficiency. A dirty condenser coil causes the compressor to run too hot which can damage the compressor, cause the refrigerator to run too long, and cause a no-cool situation. It is very important to clean condenser coils every six months. Cleaning the condenser is important for the overall operations of the unit including cooling functions. A dirty condenser may lead to warm temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer. It may also cause the unit to run excessively. It may contribute to condensation or frost inside of the compartments. If the condenser is not cleaned properly it may even cause premature failure of mechanical components in the unit. Before cleaning any Sub-Zero model, shut the electricity off at the control panel. Then, use a soft-bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser. To avoid bending the condenser fins, vacuum up and down in the direction of the fins. Be sure to wear gloves to avoid injury from the sharp condenser fins. If there is a screen in front of the condenser, use canned compressed air to blow out any dust the vacuum can’t reach. Be careful not to use any cleaning or degreaser products. This can lead to undesirable results. Of course, you may simply invite a technician to clean the condenser coils of your Sub-Zero refrigerator. Give us a call to get a maintenance visit and check other parts of the appliance for a failure.
