Built-ins in condos and older Westwood homes
Westwood housing runs from high-rise condos to older single-family homes whose kitchens have been remodeled around a built-in refrigerator. Either way, a Sub-Zero is usually boxed in tightly by cabinetry, so it relies on clear airflow through its grille to shed heat. Condo kitchens are often compact, with the refrigerator close to an oven or a sunny window. The climate is mild most of the year, but fall heat waves and dry Santa Ana winds push condensers harder, and fine dust settles on coils quickly. Older units that have gone years without a coil cleaning are usually the first to struggle.
What usually goes wrong, and why
A refrigerator running warm is our most common call, and the cause is often a clogged condenser or a failing condenser fan rather than the compressor itself. When that fan stops, the compressor overheats and can eventually fail, so early warm readings are worth acting on. Ice makers that quit usually trace to a frozen fill line, a weak water inlet valve or a clogged filter. Water under the unit typically comes from a blocked defrost drain or a loose supply connection. Worn gaskets let warm air in, causing frost and longer run times. Our $95 diagnosis tells you which problem you have.
Simple habits that keep a Sub-Zero healthy
Every few months, remove the grille, at the top or bottom depending on your model, and gently vacuum the condenser coil. Do it more often if you have pets or after windy, dusty stretches. Keep the grille clear of décor and trim that could block airflow. Replace the water filter on schedule, since a clogged one slows ice production. To check a gasket, close the door on a sheet of paper; if it slides out with no resistance, the seal needs attention. Wipe gaskets with mild soapy water, and if you travel, leave the unit running and glance at the floor beneath it when you return.

Our freezer stopped working recently. When I called West Appliance Service they came to my home to assess the problem within 1 hour of calling. They were able to come back the next day to complete the repairs once they knew what parts they needed. The service was quick, smooth, and well done. We had a great experience working with Ivan and highly recommend anyone to use their services. We will definitely be a repeat customer if our appliances need repair.
