Rebuilding a Sub-Zero model 550 refrigerator

https://certifiedrefrigeration.com

We received a call from a customer in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. They had just moved into this house just a few days prior. The Sub-Zero model 550 was not keeping the food cold.

The good:
The freezer still worked great.
The unit had new gaskets and door hardware.
The unit was a candidate for a long lasting repair because of its excellent cosmetic shape.
Read more about that at the link below.

The bad:
An original 30 year old fridge compressor.
An original fridge evaporator coil.
Low refrigerant levels.
An overheated machine.
Poorly maintained condenser.


Our options to repair this properly basically came down to replacing the refrigerator sealed system and giving the unit a good mechanical overhaul. The customer was aware of the cost and wait (it’s 2022) for a new appliance and was more than happy to have the unit refurbished as it was a quick, cost effective option for him.


What we replaced:
Refrigerator Compressor
Heat Exchanger
Evaporator
Filter drier
Condenser Fan with blade and hardwares
Thermostat
Drain Heater
Light bulbs
Plumbers Puddy

This worked great, the refrigerator got down to temperature quickly and quietly. We expect it to last well into the future. Rebuilding a good cosmetic shape Sub-Zero saves time and money and is an excellent option for our customers. We specialize in this and are fully equipped to do jobs like this on the spot.
