Sub-Zero refrigerators have a reputation of being reliable and trouble-free refrigeration units. MD Appliance provides professional Sub-Zero maintenance services in San Diego, CA. Here are some tips to keep your Sub-Zero in excellent condition.

Condenser Cleaning

Regular condenser cleaning is the most important Sub-Zero maintenance service. It protects compressors from overheating and prolongs their life. You can do it yourself, but it is essential to do it correctly. If you don’t, you might damage the condenser fins and block the airflow.

Follow these steps to clean your Sub-Zero condenser. With the soft brush first and then with a vacuum cleaner, remove the dust build-up. Move the brush and the vacuum cleaner up-down and into direction of the condenser fins to avoid bending them.

If you would rather a professional handle the job, call MD Appliance LLC, and we will do it for you. We recommend scheduling a condenser cleaning about once a year in the springtime.

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, clean the unit once a month or whenever it sits for an extended period.

Air and Water Filter Replacement

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

Cleaning the Inside of your Sub-Zero

It’s a good idea to thoroughly clean the inside of the refrigerator periodically. Spills and debris can cause odor and cause bad flavors in some of your fresh and cooked foods.

Check the Door Gaskets

Sub-Zero door gaskets have an important role in keeping the cold air inside your refrigerator. If the gaskets are damaged or dirty, the appliance leaks air, works harder, and consumes more energy.

• Check the gaskets for cracks and tears regularly.
• Wipe the gaskets with a damp cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt.

If you find any damage or the gasket is not tight, please contact MD Appliance LLC for service.
