Freezer Repair
Frost build-up, failed defrost parts and temperature drift on Sub-Zero freezers and freezer drawers.
What people describe when they call
- A sheet of ice down the back panel, thick enough to jam the drawer
- Everything frosted over within days of going in
- Powder on top of the food that brushes off and comes back
- A drawer you have to lean on to close, then lean on to open
Every one of these can be pinned down on the first visit, and the $89 buys exactly that: finding out which of them it is. Not sure yours is on the list? Say it in your own words on the symptoms page instead.
What it costs
A range before anyone opens the cabinet.
The visit and the full diagnosis are a flat $89, and that $89 comes straight off the bill the moment you approve the repair.
- Door gasket or seal replacementThe door that no longer pulls itself the last inch shut.
- $260–$700
- Evaporator or condenser fan motorHumming that carries into the next room, or one compartment that will not hold.
- $320–$740
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensorFrost that keeps coming back, or water appearing under the salad drawers.
- $280–$680
- Ice maker, water valve or supply lineA bin that never fills, or a shelf of ice where none should form.
- $300–$860
- Electronic control boardA display that resets itself, or a circuit that never starts at all.
- $430–$1,010
- Compressor or sealed-system repairBoth compartments drifting together with the condenser already clear.
- $1,370–$3,080
Every line is a range, because two cabinets doing the same thing rarely turn out to need the same part. On the day you get one number for your own unit, said before a screwdriver comes out, and the service call above comes off it as soon as you say go ahead.
Worth holding against those bands — a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work sits at $12,140–$22,020. That gap is the reason a repair on a cabinet that is otherwise sound is nearly always the shorter road.
How the call runs
- You describe the symptom What the display says, what the cabinet feels like, and when it changed. Half the diagnosis is in the description, and it decides which parts ride along.
- A slot, not a window all day Technicians work 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, any day of the week, and the line itself takes a call at any hour — so a cabinet that gives up overnight is already on the board by morning.
- The $89 diagnosis Temperatures at both circuits, pressures where they matter, and electrical checks on the suspect part. The fee is credited against the repair.
- A price before anything comes apart You hear what failed, what it costs to put right, and what happens if you leave it. Nothing is dismantled on an unknown number.
- Verified, then put back The cabinet is brought back into range and watched through a cycle before the technician leaves, and panel-ready joinery goes back the way it came out.

Ice built into a sheet across the back of the freezer, which is odd in air this dry. Failed defrost heater. He replaced it, cleared the drain, and explained why the frost comes back if it clogs.
Delaney H.Cherry Creek
Scrape-off duplex, tiny kitchen, and the undercounter freezer drawer kept refreezing into a solid block. Drain heater had quit. He worked in a space barely wider than the drawer and did not mark the cabinets.
Bridger W.Highland
Our kitchen faces west and bakes all afternoon, and the freezer had been running near fifteen degrees for weeks. A tired compressor start relay was the culprit. Replaced, then he watched a full cycle before leaving.

Freezer trouble in Denver?
Say what the cabinet is doing and the technician packs for that fault rather than for a guess. Technicians work 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, any day of the week, and the line takes a call 24/7.
