Why is my Sub-Zero fridge warm but the freezer cold?
The fresh food side has its own controls, so the control board, the door gasket or a hinge is the usual cause.

Error codes, reset and the control board
An error code on the panel, or a reset button that clears it for a day, sends the search to the control board. It is tested in place before it is replaced. This is part of our Sub-Zero repair in Manhattan.
Fridge warm, freezer cold
Sub-Zero dual refrigeration gives the fresh food section its own cooling and its own controls, so a fridge warm beside a freezer cold points to that side: the control board, the door gasket or a door hinge. Colder side faults are on freezer repair.
Door gasket, hinge and panel-ready doors
A torn door gasket or a dropped hinge leaves the door not sealing. On a panel-ready door the custom panel is refitted too, so door and drawer alignment is true again.

Can I reset a Sub-Zero error code myself?
A breaker reset can clear a code once. If it returns, the control board needs a technician.
Do you repair older Sub-Zero models?
Yes, including 500 and 600 series units.
