Why choose us
Built-in Sub-Zero refrigeration uses sealed systems, airflow, and electronic controls that behave differently from a standard refrigerator. Getting the cooling, defrost, and temperature-control systems right takes careful diagnosis before any repair is recommended. Here's what you get when Ace Appliance Service handles it:
Owner-operated, no subcontractors
The technician who diagnoses your Sub-Zero is the same person who repairs it, hands-on from the first call to the final test.
Licensed & insured in Washington
WA Contractor #ACEAPAS774K6. Fully licensed and insured for appliance repair in King and Snohomish County.
EPA Section 608 Type I Certified
Certified for the safe handling of refrigerants on the sealed systems built-in Sub-Zero units rely on.
Same-day / next-day appointments
A Sub-Zero that's not cooling can't wait. Most calls get scheduled same-day or next-day.
Sub-Zero refrigeration
Built-in Sub-Zero refrigeration is engineered differently than a standard kitchen refrigerator. The compressor, evaporator, and airflow are matched to a sealed cabinet, and the electronics that manage defrost, temperature control, and ice production don't always fail the same way twice — even on the same model.
Ace Appliance Service has hands-on experience with these systems — cooling, defrost, ice makers, fans, and door seals. Before recommending a repair, we diagnose what's actually happening inside the unit, not just the symptom at the door, since a wrong guess on equipment like this means paying twice.
It's also why we service Sub-Zero regularly alongside brands like Viking, Thermador, Wolf, and Liebherr.

"Max was wonderful! He was efficient and knowledgeable. He fixed my leaking Sub-Zero refrigerator, my ice maker that was not dispensing, serviced my refrigerator and also fixed a gas burner that was not working. I will definitely use him again in the future!"
"Amazing job all around! Fixed my fridge and freezer! Great communication and very professional. Highly recommend!"
"Max was responsive, arrived on time, and did a great job replacing the ice maker in our LG fridge. He was professional, accommodating of my tenant's schedules, and made the entire process easy."

Questions
Yes. We work on both current and older built-in Sub-Zero refrigerators, freezers, and wine storage units. If you're not sure whether your model is still repairable, call and describe what's happening — we can usually tell you before we come out.
In most cases, yes. Sub-Zero units are built to last — commonly 20 to 35 years or more with proper maintenance — so most problems (a worn seal, a failed fan, an ice maker, a control board) are straightforward repairs next to replacing the whole unit. We'll give you an honest read after diagnosis, including on the rare occasion when replacement makes more sense. See our repair vs. replace guide for how we think about it generally.
It can come from a few different places: a sealed system issue, a failing evaporator or condenser fan, a blocked defrost drain, or a control board problem. Because these systems work differently from a standard refrigerator, accurate diagnosis matters before any repair is attempted.
Cost depends on the diagnosis, the model, the parts required, and the labor involved. We diagnose the unit first and give you a clear price before starting any repair, so schedule a visit and we'll walk you through it.
Yes. We repair Sub-Zero ice makers that have stopped producing ice, are jammed, running slow, or leaking around the bin.
