Sub-Zero repair in Firdale, where columns and a wine unit stand side by side
The south end of Edmonds around Firdale Village. Where a kitchen runs separate columns and a wine unit, each is its own machine with its own faults.
Separate machines, separate faults
When a kitchen has a refrigerator column, a freezer column and a wine unit standing side by side, they look like one installation. They are three appliances. Each has its own compressor, its own sealed system (the compressor, coils and refrigerant closed up inside it) and its own controls, so one going warm says nothing about the other two, and fixing it never means opening them.
That makes the first phone call simple: which unit, and what is it doing? A freezer column that has gone soft, a wine unit drifting a few degrees off its setting and a refrigerator column that runs without stopping are three different conversations.
If it is one cabinet with two doors
A Sub-Zero that keeps the fridge and the freezer in a single cabinet is built the other way round: two cooling systems inside one box, each with its own compressor. There, the section that is still cold is the clue. It rules its own system out and points straight at the side that is struggling.

Asked in Firdale
Can the wine unit be looked at on the same visit as the fridge?
Yes, if you mention both when you book, so the visit is planned with time for each. Every unit is diagnosed on its own, and any repair is priced from its published range before work starts. Tell Sub-Zero Repair Edmonds which units are acting up, and what each is doing, on (206) 210-3547.
Is a separate freezer column worth repairing when its compressor fails?
Usually, for the same reason a combination unit is: the sealed-system range sits well below the cost of a new built-in, and you keep the column's cabinet and its panels. The case against is a cabinet failing around the compressor, or a second sealed-system job soon after the first. The repair-or-replace pages set the two figures out.
Four jobs, one brand
- Refrigerator Repair Often starts as: fresh food side sits around 50°F overnight while the freezer stays rock solid.
- Freezer Repair Often starts as: everything has a soft coat of frost on it and the ice cream has gone slushy.
- Ice Maker Repair Often starts as: cubes come out hollow and about half the size they used to be.
- Wine Cooler Repair Often starts as: upper zone reads 52°F when it is set to 45°F while the lower zone holds fine.

Door alarm kept sounding with the door properly shut. The hinge had dropped after our remodel, so the custom panel held it a hair proud of the frame. Reset and adjusted. Silent now.
Drawer had stopped sitting flush and the seal felt papery, so everything inside grew a coat of frost. New gasket, hinges reindexed, panel lined back up with the cabinetry. Frost gone.
Ice under the bottom basket had got thick enough to stop the drawer shutting, and I assumed that was normal. The drain was frozen back to the evaporator and the defrost limit had failed.
Still warm? Ring before the food goes.
Say which side is warm and what the compressor sounds like — that is enough to start. Phone it through, or choose a slot on the booking page. $89 to find out, and the $89 comes off the repair.
