Not cooling
Fridge or freezer warm, food at risk.
Often a sealed-system leak, failed compressor, condenser fan, or control board. Sub-Zero dual systems need careful isolation before any refrigerant work.

Our technicians
Experienced Sub-Zero techs
We send appliance techs who work on Sub-Zero fridges and freezers, including built-ins, columns, and cooling-system repairs.
When you book, you can ask for recent local references. We’ll tell you which tech is coming before the visit.
Common Sub-Zero issues
Symptom, plain-English cause, then book or call. We quote after on-site diagnosis, no guesswork price bands on this page.
Also see built-in refrigerator repair
Ice maker problems
No ice, small cubes, or constant cycling.
Fill tubes freeze, valves stick, or the ice maker module fails. We check water supply and harvest cycle before replacing parts.
Noisy unit
Buzzing, rattling, or a fan that never settles.
Condenser or evaporator fans, compressor mounts, or ice buildup can sound alarming in an open kitchen. We identify the source before recommending repair.
Leaking water
Puddles under the unit or in the bin.
Defrost drain clogs, door seal gaps, or ice maker supply lines are common. Built-ins need careful access so cabinetry stays intact.
Warm fridge / cold freezer
One compartment fails while the other seems fine.
Classic dual-compressor or damper/airflow issue on many Sub-Zero models. We test each circuit so you are not sold a full sealed-system job by default.
Error codes & controls
Display faults, beeping, or random shutdowns.
Control boards, thermistors, and door switches throw codes that need model-specific diagnosis, not a blind board swap.
Sub-Zero owner guides
Safe checks from Sub-Zero's published guidance, before you book.

FAQ
Is there a diagnostic fee?
In Orange County the standard service call is $75, weekdays 8 AM to 6 PM, next day or later. It covers the trip and the on-site diagnosis, and it is waived if you go ahead with the repair. All prices.
Do some areas cost more?
Edge-of-county ZIPs, including San Clemente and Lake Elsinore, are $95, also waived if you go ahead with the repair. Catalina Island (Avalon) is $150 plus the ferry cost, not waived. Chatsworth, Big Bear and Murrieta are $150 by appointment, not waived. The full ZIP list is in the price table.
What do same-day and after-hours visits cost?
A same-day priority visit adds $50 to the service call, when the route allows. Evenings after 6 PM, Saturday, Sunday and holidays add $75 to the service call.
How do repair quotes work?
The technician diagnoses the appliance on site and quotes the repair, parts and labor together, before any work starts. You decide whether to go ahead. If you do, the service call fee is waived in standard and edge-of-county areas.
Do you work on sealed systems?
Yes. Sealed-system repair (compressors, evaporators, refrigerant leaks) requires EPA Section 608 certification. We confirm the fault before recommending sealed-system work versus a simpler component fix.
Will you have parts on the truck?
Common sensors, fans, and ice-maker parts are often stocked. Many Sub-Zero boards and sealed-system parts are ordered after diagnosis so the correct part is installed the first time.
Is the repair under warranty?
Repairs carry a warranty of up to 90 days. The exact terms for your repair are written on your invoice.
Are you a Sub-Zero factory-authorized service center?
No. A.A. Repairs is an independent repair company, not a factory-authorized service center. Brand names are trademarks of their owners.
Are you registered and insured?
We are a registered appliance service dealer (BHGS) and insured, for appliance repair. Registration number available on request.
What cities do you cover for Sub-Zero repair?
Primary coverage is Huntington Beach through San Clemente, including Fountain Valley, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, San Juan Capistrano and Dana Point. See all areas.
