About

Ice first.
Then the rest.

Sub-Zero Repair Tacoma is an independent repair business for built-in Sub-Zero refrigeration in Tacoma and across the South Sound. Most calls start with ice: an empty bin, cubes that come out wrong, or water where it should not be.

What we take on

The ice maker inside a built-in refrigerator or freezer, the undercounter ice machine, and everything that feeds them: the inlet valve, the filter, the supply line and, on an undercounter machine, the drain. Beyond ice, the same visit covers compartments that run warm, doors that will not seal, and Sub-Zero wine storage.

What we leave to others

Commercial refrigeration is not our work: restaurant reach-ins, walk-in boxes and RV fridges go to specialists in those. Nor are other makes. Plumbing beyond the valve that feeds the unit belongs to a plumber, and new wiring to an electrician. Where a fault turns out to be theirs, you are told so and why.

How the money works

The $89 visit pays for the trip and the whole diagnosis, and once you approve the repair that $89 is deducted from its price.

Nobody names a repair figure over the phone. After the diagnosis you get one figure for parts and labour, taken from the six published price bands, and no part is ordered or fitted until you have agreed it.

Visits run 8 am to 8 pm, Monday through Sunday. The phone is answered 24/7, so an ice maker that floods at midnight can be booked at midnight.

The visit

Describe, measure, agree

  1. Empty wine cooler interior with contoured bottle shelves behind an open glass door 01

    You describe it

    Model and serial number off the rating plate, what the unit is doing, and what you have already checked. On an ice fault the five checks usually come up on this call.

  2. Meter probe at the control strip of a stocked dual-zone wine cooler with its glass door held open 02

    We measure it

    Water reaching the valve, the valve opening, the mold filling and freezing, the harvest completing — tested in that order, so the fault is found rather than guessed.

  3. New door gasket being pressed into an undercounter unit's door, the old gasket and tools on a blanket 03

    You approve it

    One figure for parts and labour from inside the published band. No part is ordered or fitted until you have agreed it, and the visit fee comes off that figure.
