Sub-Zero Ice Makers can be prone to sophisticated issues that cascade into system failures, leading to energy waste and disruption of your daily needs. In the confining spaces of Manhattan high-rises and pre-war properties in Brooklyn, a malfunctioning ice maker can cause significant inconvenience. When your ice maker stops producing ice, the implications extend beyond mere discomfort, affecting gatherings, hospitality, and even food preservation.

Our field technicians are strategically located across Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan below 96th Street, ensuring rapid response and effective troubleshooting based on comprehensive service logs and error code analysis for your specific Sub-Zero model.
Your ice maker deserves meticulous care. Our premium service package includes a $99 diagnostic fee (credited to repair) and a 180-day parts & labor warranty, ensuring that every repair meets our high standards. We also offer same-day availability and a guarantee of OEM parts to restore functionality swiftly and effectively.
Q: What does the 'NO' code on my Sub-Zero Ice Maker mean?
A: This indicates warm or normal temperatures displayed with a non-flashing 'SERVICE' display, suggesting issues with the ice production system requiring immediate troubleshooting.
Q: Why is my ice maker experiencing noise and vibration?
A: Noise and vibration can result from loose components or a failing compressor. A thorough mechanical check would be necessary to isolate the precise source.
Q: What does the 'EE' code indicate for my ice maker?
A: The 'EE' displayed suggests a general error requiring troubleshooting, often linked to power supply disruptions or faulty temperature sensors that need further evaluation.
Q: What could cause leaking from my Sub-Zero Ice Maker?
A: Leaking can emerge from issues related to clogged drain lines or faulty water inlet valves, both of which require careful inspection and possible replacement.
Repairing your Sub-Zero Ice Maker can be more economical depending on the age and failure mechanism of key components like the compressor and control board. While minor repairs typically range from $250 to $400, replacing critical parts in older units may incentivize replacement due to the cumulative costs, particularly when factoring in NYC labor rates.
Replacement is advisable when identified criteria are met:
Code EE: 'EE' displayed instead of freezer temperature along with 'SERVICE' flashing suggests a general error in the icemaker's operation.
