CAUSE-COLON 
Fan in unit not working properly 
Temperature sensor or thermostat malfunction 
Compressor, evaporator, or condenser issue 
Problem with door seal or gasket 

CORE-ISSUE-COLON 
What to do when temperatures rise in a refrigerator 
Warm or high temperatures reported in refrigerator section 
Why is the refrigerator not cooling or will not hold set temperature? 
Unit does not cool well in warm months or humid, warmer temperatures 
Food spoils before expiration date or food going bad quickly 
Refrigerator stopped working 

STEPS TO VERIFY ISSUE: 
Only a Factory Certified Service technician can determine the exact cause of a cooling issue. 
New Installation: 
Verify the unit is on and running for at least 24 hours. If not, wait 24 hours for unit to cool properly. 
Verify the door closes and was not left ajar for a long time. Turn the door ajar alarm on if it is not on to make sure the door is closing all the way. See How to Turn on a Door Ajar Alarm for instructions. 
Correct or remove anything blocking the door from closing. 
New groceries or warm food will raise temperatures for a time. Temperatures should return to normal after several hours. 
It is not necessary to clean the condenser on a unit that is less than 6 months old. 

For any warm temperatures in a Sub-Zero refrigerator: 
Check the setpoint temperatures for the compartment. See Refrigerator and Freezer Temperature Settings. 
On an electronic control panel, 38°F is the factory setting. 
For a dial control, set the dial between 4 and 6. 1 is warmest, and 10 is coldest. 
200, 300, and 500 Series Sub-Zero products have dial controls. 
Verify the door closes and was not left ajar for a long time. Turn the door ajar alarm on if it is not on to make sure the door is closing all the way. See How to Turn on a Door Ajar Alarm for instructions. 
Correct or remove anything blocking the door from closing. 
New groceries or warm food will raise temperatures for a time. Temperatures should return to normal after several hours. 
Clean the Condenser if not done in the last 6 months. 
Note: If the temperature is above 48 degrees (set at 38), it is unlikely to recover from a condenser cleaning. 
Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair. The service call can be canceled if the temperatures do return to normal. 
Verify the unit is not in Showroom mode. This is only likely if unit was a product on display in a dealer showroom.  
If temperatures do not appear, or the control panel does not respond, verify the unit is not in Sabbath mode.  
If the lights are off and there is no cooling in the refrigerator but the freezer is working normally, make sure the refrigerator was not disabled.  
Verify if only one or all sections are not cooling. This information is helpful if service is necessary. 
Wait 24 hours for the unit to return to normal temperatures after correcting any or all of the above. 
If the refrigerator is still warm after these steps are complete, service is necessary to expertly diagnose and repair the product. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.

We love our Sub Zero. Very few issues over the decades but we are redoing our kitchen and are unsure about keeping this one or purchasing a new one. It’s a huge gamble! We clean the motor periodically and apply petroleum jelly when needed to increase the vacuum seals on the doors. Too bad we do not have a crystal ball!

Expensive, but worth it. Had to spend about $1500 to repair and switch to new refrigerant, but should be good for another 30 years. When you buy a Sub-Zero, you should never have to buy another refrigerator in your lifetime.

Quality built throughout, steady cold or frozen temperature in respective compartments. It looks impressive, more like a part of the house than just an appliance. It is a bit expensive to buy however.

I chose a built-in all refrigerator for it's energy efficiency, and have a separate undercounter freezer. The Sub Zero is very roomy and well lit. Have had some issues with dark staining of the white etching on the glass shelves, (which removes mostly with cleaning). Bought in 2001, still going strong in 2019 with only one repair. Very easy to access/clean coils. Fits a huge pizza box on bottom shelf! Stainless steel face looks great. Can set exact temperature desired. No ice/water on door, too many things to break, and I prefer to make my own ice. Ice makers are notorious for problems, so I kept it simple.

Have had the refrigerator for 20 years, very few repairs, functions very well, still looks like new. Side by side refrigerator, freezer on the bottom with ice maker, costly but would recommend this fridge.
