Woodinville, WA  ·  Sub-Zero refrigeration only

A cellar never fails all at once. It drifts two degrees, then three — and by August a case of Cabernet has aged five years.

Why we take a four-degree complaint seriously

Sub-Zero wine storage, refrigeration and ice repair — Woodinville, WA

Our position

Refrigeration, in a town that stores wine for a living

Woodinville has more tasting rooms than traffic lights, and the habit runs into the houses. Up on Hollywood Hill and out toward Cottage Lake, a Sub-Zero wine unit is not an accessory — it is where a collection lives. So we learned this equipment from the wine side first, and the rest of the kitchen followed.

That shapes how we work. We measure before we quote. We log both zones, not one. We do not replace a control board because it is the quickest part to reach, and we do not tell anyone their unit is beyond saving when a thermistor and a gasket would settle it for a fraction of the price.

It is a slower way to run a service call. It is also the only way to be right about a sealed system.

The Work

Four repairs, done properly, on one make of equipment

We do not service ranges, dishwashers or anyone else’s refrigeration. Everything below is Sub-Zero sealed-system, control and cabinet work.

Wine Cooler Repair

Zone-by-zone temperature correction, compressor and door-seal work on Sub-Zero wine storage — the repair Woodinville cellars ask for most.

  • The upper zone sits at 62°F when it is set to 55°F, and the lower zone is perfectly fine
  • Condensation keeps forming on the inside of the glass door and the labels are going damp
  • The compressor has got noticeably louder and you can feel it through the cabinet at night

In their words

Three calls, told by the people who placed them

4.9/ 51,445reviews

  • Water was pooling under the crisper every second day and I kept towelling it out. The drain behind the rear panel had iced over. He cleared it, changed a thermistor, and it has stayed dry.

  • The column drifted up several degrees over a fortnight without ever raising an alarm. He tracked it to a tired evaporator fan and a partly blocked air path. Done properly, though the visit ran late.

  • Slow drip underneath, and the bottom of the bin had frozen to the shelf. Cracked fill tube, which he found by watching a whole cycle through instead of guessing. Dry and level again.

What stands behind the work

Credentials, stated plainly

  • Sealed-system certified

    EPA Section 608 Universal. Gauges come out on every temperature complaint, because a low charge and a failed fan look identical from the front.

  • Sub-Zero families we carry parts for

    Built-in 600 and 700 series, integrated IT columns, undercounter 400 series and the 424 wine drawers. Evaporator fans, thermistors, dampers, gaskets and inlet valves ride on the van.

  • Licensed, bonded and insured in Washington

    Full liability cover for work inside finished cabinetry, which matters more than it sounds when a column has to come out of a millwork surround.

  • One-year workmanship warranty

    Parts carry their manufacturer term; our labour carries twelve months. If the same fault returns inside that window, the return visit is ours.

A recent call

Hollywood Hill · dual-zone wine unit drifting four degrees

On arrival

Lint-matted condenser coil and fan behind the removed lower grille of a stainless built-in, vacuum hose alongside
  • Upper zone 62°F against a 55°F setpoint
  • Lower zone holding correctly at 45°F
  • Condenser coil matted with lint and cellar dust
  • Damper motor stalled part-open, no travel on command

On completion

Undercounter wine cooler set into cabinetry, glass door open on empty timber bottle racks
  • Upper zone 55°F, verified over a two-hour soak
  • Lower zone unchanged at 45°F
  • Condenser cleaned, airflow path cleared
  • Damper motor replaced, both zones logged before sign-off

Three previous quotes had called this a compressor failure and recommended replacing the cabinet. It was a damper motor and an afternoon of airflow work — a small fraction of what a replacement would have cost.

The readings above are from this call. The two photographs illustrate equipment of this type — they are not before-and-after images of this unit.
