Freezer Repair
Defrost faults, frost build-up and temperature drift on Sub-Zero freezer columns and drawers.
$89 service call covers the trip and the full diagnosis, and comes off the total if you approve the repair.
How it usually gets described
- Sheet ice across the rear evaporator panel
- Drawer sticking or refusing to slide out
- Cabinet sitting in the teens instead of near zero
- Ice cream going soft while the display still reads normal
What gets checked
- Rear evaporator panel opened to see whether frost is even sheeting or localised
- Defrost heater, limit thermostat and drain line tested rather than replaced on suspicion
- Drawer and door seals checked for a set, a dropped hinge or a gap you can feel air moving through
- Cabinet pulled back down to temperature while we are on site, with the readings shown to you
What it costs
The six bands a quote comes out of
Parts, and the labour to fit them, grouped the way faults actually turn up on a built-in. Yours lands inside one of these before anyone reaches for a screwdriver.
Flat $89 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.
You get one firm number from inside the band, agreed with you before anything is opened up — and the service call comes off it the moment you say go ahead.
- Door gasket or seal replacement
- $270–$680
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor
- $320–$700
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor
- $280–$610
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line
- $260–$750
- Electronic control board
- $390–$1,000
- Compressor or sealed-system repair
- $1,490–$3,180
Ranges rather than starting prices: what moves inside a band is the part itself and how far the cabinet has to come out to reach it. For scale, a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work, runs $11,900–$23,680 — the comparison worth making before you decide either way.

Frost kept rebuilding on the rear panel even though the air here is bone dry in March. A split drawer seal was pulling in warm room air. Fixed in one visit, though booking took two calls.

The undercounter freezer in the garage stopped keeping anything firm once the afternoons warmed up. He found the fan shroud cracked and airflow leaking past the coil. New shroud, and it copes with the heat now.

Freezer section went warm overnight with a month of elk in it. Someone picked up the phone late and a technician was here the next morning. Failed defrost thermostat, replaced on the spot, and he moved everything into coolers while it pulled back down.

Two ways in, and nothing to fill in
Give us the model number and what the cabinet is holding. That is usually enough to know which circuit is at fault before anyone is dispatched — and which parts belong on the van.
