Troubleshooting
If your undercounter unit is not operating properly,
use the following troubleshooting guide before calling
Sub-Zero factory certified service. This guide will save you
time and trouble and may help you avoid the expense of
a service call.
Undercounter unit is not operating.
•
Is the unit turned on? Refer to electronic controls on
page 7.
•
Is there electrical power to the unit? Check the house-
hold fuse or circuit breaker to see if it has been blown
or tripped. A power outage may also have caused a
disruption in service.
•
Is the condenser area clean?
•
Has the door been left open for an extended period?
Be sure that food is not obstructing proper door
closing.
•
If the unit is still not operating, it may be in defrost
mode. Wait 30 minutes and try to restart again.
'SERVICE' is flashing in the LCD display.
•
This may indicate that the condenser needs cleaning.
Clean the condenser area as outlined on page 13.
•
This happens when the unit runs too long. A
temperature sensor may be faulty. If this occurs, turn
the unit off with the POWER key pad and then restart
by pressing the key pad again. If 'SERVICE' is still
flashing, call Sub-Zero customer care at 800-222-7820.
