Sub-Zero · Denver, CO
Refrigerator Repair
Built-ins and panel-ready columns that run warm, never switch off, or put a code where a temperature belongs.
$89 to read the cabinet, then off the bill when you approve the work · out 8:00 am – 8:00 pm, seven days · what the repair itself lands at
How owners describe it
- Fresh food side reading in the fifties while the freezer holds zero
- Compressor running through the evening and never settling between cycles
- A code stored behind the temperature, or the SERVICE word lit on the panel
- The unit warming up again a fortnight after the condenser was cleaned
What happens on the visit
- 01 You describe the symptom on the phone. On most Sub-Zero faults that already narrows it to a circuit, and you hear what it probably is before anyone drives out.
- 02 On site the cabinet is metered rather than guessed at — sensor readings, defrost circuit, fan draw, pressures where the sealed system is implicated. Panel-ready units come out on sliders and go back the way they were found.
- 03 You get the fault, the part and the price before anything is opened up — the figure for your cabinet, not the band it sits in. The ranges below are what that figure has landed between on this kind of work.
- 04 After the repair the pull-down is watched down to the setpoint, and the readings taken on the day get talked through with you.
What the panel is reporting
A fresh-food side that will not come down, or a compressor that never stops, is a heat problem before it is a compressor problem. These are the readings behind it.
What it costs
What refrigerator repair costs in Denver
$89 buys a full diagnosis rather than a look, and it is deducted from the price of the repair the moment you give the go-ahead.
Each line is a range because the part decides the number, and the part is not known until the cabinet has been metered. What you get is the exact figure for your repair before anything is opened up — agreed on the day, with the $89 already coming off it once you say go. Nothing is started on an estimate.
- Door seal or gasket renewed
- $270–$680
- Fan motor — evaporator or condenser
- $310–$680
- Defrost circuit: heater, terminator, thermistor
- $280–$690
- Ice module, fill valve or supply line
- $280–$790
- Control board
- $430–$940
- Sealed system, compressor included
- $1,480–$3,420
Worth holding those against the alternative: a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work, $11,970–$20,280. That is why a sealed-system repair on a cabinet with years left in it is usually still the sensible end of the comparison — and why we will say plainly when it is not.

Bought a rehabbed 1890s cottage with a built-in nobody had touched in years. It ran nonstop and iced at the back. Worn door gasket plus a plugged drain line. Two hours, both sorted.

Refrigerator column quit after a hailstorm knocked our power out twice in one evening. Not the compressor, just a control board needing a reseat and its settings reloaded. He stayed to watch the pull-down.
Dashiell K.Hilltop
Our built-in went warm on the fresh food side during a ninety-degree week and I assumed the compressor was done. The condenser was blanketed in cottonwood fluff and dog hair. He cleaned it, checked pressures, and it has cycled normally since.

Read before quoted
Stored codes first, then air and coil temperatures, then amp draw at start-up, then pressures only if everything in front of them has been ruled out. The readings decide the quote, not the other way round.
-
Refrigeration only
Built-ins, panel-ready columns, undercounter units, ice makers and wine cabinets. No ranges, no dishwashers, no split attention.
-
We will say do not
A sealed-system repair runs $1,480–$3,420. On some cabinets that is money well spent and on some it is not, and you get told which before anything is opened up.
-
Reachable hours
Technicians are out 8:00 am – 8:00 pm, seven days. Someone picks up at any hour, so a failure overnight does not have to wait for an office to open before it is on the list.
