Wine Cooler Repair
Dual-zone control, door and sealed-system service for Sub-Zero wine storage.
$89 service call covers the trip and the full diagnosis, and comes off the total if you approve the repair.
How it usually gets described
- One zone drifting several degrees off its setting
- Condensation forming on the inside of the glass door
- Fan whine or vibration audible outside the kitchen
- Lower zone never reaching cellar temperature
What gets checked
- Both zones logged against their set points with a calibrated probe, not the door display
- Zone fan, damper and thermistors tested where the two zones are sharing air
- Glass door seal and hinge alignment checked when condensation is forming inside
- Compressor mounts and evaporator fan bearing checked for the whine you can hear from the hall
What it costs
The six bands a quote comes out of
Parts, and the labour to fit them, grouped the way faults actually turn up on a built-in. Yours lands inside one of these before anyone reaches for a screwdriver.
Flat $89 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it.
You get one firm number from inside the band, agreed with you before anything is opened up — and the service call comes off it the moment you say go ahead.
- Door gasket or seal replacement
- $270–$680
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor
- $320–$700
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor
- $280–$610
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line
- $260–$750
- Electronic control board
- $390–$1,000
- Compressor or sealed-system repair
- $1,490–$3,180
Ranges rather than starting prices: what moves inside a band is the part itself and how far the cabinet has to come out to reach it. For scale, a comparable built-in replacement, before installation and cabinetry work, runs $11,900–$23,680 — the comparison worth making before you decide either way.

Half our cellar lives in a wine unit off the dining room, so a five degree drift over one weekend had me anxious. A failed door switch was leaving the interior light on and warming the cabinet. Simple part, careful explanation.

Vibration through the wine storage had started unsettling the older bottles on the top shelf. The compressor mounts had hardened and one foot was off the tile. Re-mounted and levelled, and the rattle is gone.

Beads of water formed on the inside of the glass door and I started worrying about the labels. The door sat proud on one hinge so the seal had lifted. Adjusted, new seal, and clear ever since.

Two ways in, and nothing to fill in
Give us the model number and what the cabinet is holding. That is usually enough to know which circuit is at fault before anyone is dispatched — and which parts belong on the van.
