Notes from the van
Written after the call rather than before it. If one of these gets a cabinet running again without us, that is a good outcome.
- Where to Find the Model Number on a Sub-Zero Refrigerator On most built-in Sub-Zero refrigerators the model number is printed on the serial tag inside the refrigerator door, up near the top hinge; column, drawer and undercounter units keep it inside a drawer or on a cabinet wall. Here is where to look and how to read it.
- Gaggenau vs Sub-Zero Refrigerator: Build, Cooling and Upkeep Choose Sub-Zero for separate cooling in combination units and widely stocked US parts; choose Gaggenau for flush European columns with steel interiors. Both hold food well, so the real gap is in how each is built, ventilated and serviced over the years.
- Sub-Zero Ice Maker Making Cloudy, Hollow Cubes in Boston: Read the Shape Cloudy, hollow, undersized and fused cubes are four separate faults, not one: shape points at fill volume, a white core at dissolved air and minerals, a slab at harvest timing. Read the cube first, then work back through the supply, the filter and the release side of the cycle.
Booking

Model and serial from the plate inside the door, what changed and when. That is usually enough for a straight answer about whether it needs a visit — and the $95 service call covers the visit and the full diagnosis when it does.
