    Subzero Refrigerator Regular Maintenance

    Subzero Refrigerator Regular Maintenance

    Subzero refrigerators have a long average lifespan. With regular maintenance, the Subzero refrigerator should last 20-30 years. Unfortunately, there may be occasions when your Subzero stops cooling correctly. It's not only an inconvenience but also food and energy waste. We'll examine a few steps to check your refrigerator when it stops cooling and how to correct the problem.

    • Adjust The Temperature Settings

    Ensure the thermostat is set in the middle position - analog thermostat or the temperature settings are 37℉ (refrigerator side) and 0℉ (freezer side) - digital thermostat. If the temperature settings are off, it will cause all kinds of cooling problems. It is easy to bump the thermostat or accidentally change settings when cleaning the inside of the refrigerator compartment or when moving items in and out. 

    • Check the Door Gaskets

    The door gaskets are essential components of your Subzero refrigerator. Regularly check the door gaskets for damages. Over time, gaskets become worn, loose, or torn. It will allow the cold air to leak and cause the rise of the temperature inside the unit. Regularly, wipe the gaskets with a soft, damp cloth to prevent damages. 

    • Clean the Condenser Regularly

    It is important to clean your Subzero condenser coils at least once a year. Visit our blog to find out more about how to clean your Subzero condenser

    Monogram Refrigerator Water Dispenser Not Working

    Monogram Refrigerator Water Dispenser Not Working

    Problem: When your Monogram refrigerator water dispenser stops dispensing water, it is usually due to a frozen water dispenser line. The water dispenser hose is located close to the ice dispenser door chute. After years of usage, the ice dispenser door chute stops sealing correctly so that the freezing cold air will start leaking. Because of the close location, the water inside the water dispenser tube will freeze up. The ice build-up will block the water flow, and the dispenser will stop working. Solution: First, you need to remove the ice from the water dispenser tube. You can use a tool such as "IceSurrender". Then it would be best to replace the ice dispenser door chute along with the ice dispenser solenoid that stops operating correctly due to excessive rusting. That will ensure proper door chute sealing and prevent future problems. Note: Make sure to replace the water filter regularly every six months. Replacing the water filter regularly will keep your water fresh and keep the strong water flow to the water dispenser and the ice maker. Also, use your dispenser as often as you can to allow water to flow through the dispenser tubing and to minimize the possibility of freezing up again. GE Monogram Repair San Diego

    Monogram Ice Maker Fill Tube Frozen

    Monogram Ice Maker Fill Tube Frozen

    Monogram refrigerator will stop producing ice if the ice maker fill tube freezes up. Ice built up inside the ice maker fill tube restricts the water flow into the ice maker, and the ice maker stops producing ice.  Solution: In most cases fill tube freezes up due to a faulty water inlet valve. Replacing the water inlet valve will solve the problem. Make sure to turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before replacing the valve. Some Monogram refrigerators have a fill tube heater installed that keeps the fill tube warm and prevents ice build-up. Check the fill tube heater for continuity and, if necessary, replace it.  Replace the water filter regularly: Make sure to replace the water filter every six months. The old water filters will restrict the water flow, decrease the water pressure, and cause ice production problems. GE Monogram Repair San Diego

    GE Monogram Refrigerator Not Cooling

    GE Monogram Refrigerator Not Cooling

    A refrigerator is a vital part of any modern kitchen. When your GE Monogram refrigerator not cooling correctly, it becomes a significant inconvenience for the whole household. Especially during the summer, when the outside temperature is high, your GE Monogram refrigerator will work hard and use more energy to keep your food cold. We will explore a few steps to help your refrigerator work effectively and efficiently and to prevent future service calls.
    • Make sure the condenser coils are clean and free of dust. The dust layer on the condenser coils will reduce air circulation used to cool down the compressor. That will result in the compressor overheating and not adequately cooled. When the compressor is overheated, it turns off, and the internal temperature rises. 
    • Keep your Monogram refrigerator well packed. It is a misconception that the fridge will work harder if you put more food in it. A well-packed refrigerator is using less energy compared to an almost empty one. Make sure not to block the air vents with your food. Restricted air circulation will cause all kinds of temperature problems in the freezer and the refrigerator compartment.
    • Make sure temperature settings are 0℉ for the freezer and 37℉ for the refrigerator section.
    • Regularly check the door gaskets for splits, tears, or any other damages. Clean the door gaskets and the surfaces from the food spills that can cause those damages every time you open the door.
    • Change the water filter regularly, usually every six to twelve months.
    There are several reasons why your GE Monogram refrigerator not cooling properly. Some basic facts could help you solve the issues by yourself. If not, you will need to call an expert MD Appliance technician for an effective solution. GE Monogram Refrigerator Repair San Diego

    - Ice Maker Maintenance

    If you don’t use ice from the ice maker regularly, it’s a good idea to empty the ice tray once every week to prevent the ice from clumping and tasting stale. If you use ice frequently, just clean the unit once a month or whenever it sits for a long period of time.

    - Air and Water Filter Replacement

    Change the air and water filter at least once a year. Don’t worry about trying to remember this because the digital readout on the unit will notify you when it is time to change them!

    • The inside of the refrigerator is overloaded with food. The items in your fridge could be blocking the air vent. Because of that cold air will not circulate properly.  That will cause temperature problems as well.
