Sub-Zero® Appliance Repair NY and NJ
Most brands of refrigerators are built on compromise. A single compressor and evaporator chills air for the freezer; then that same air is used to cool the refrigerator. Neither side has truly optimum conditions for the foods stored there, and because refrigerators and freezers share air, they can also share food odors. Sub-Zero is different. Each side has its own compressor and evaporator. Dual refrigeration. Zero compromise.
A good understanding of the inner workings and dual refrigeration system of a Sub-Zero refrigerator can teach us about the science of preserving food for longer periods. It also highlights the precision and craftsmanship that makes Sub-Zero a dependable and well-designed kitchen appliance. However, certain issues such as lack of cooling, excessive cooling, and leaks can indicate functional problems.
To prevent these issues from becoming worse, it is important to call for professional Sub Zero appliance repair services. Regular maintenance and paying attention to the signs of malfunction can also increase the lifespan of your unit and improve its overall performance. In case you want to maintain your device without spending a lot of money on a new one, remember that repairs are often more cost-effective than replacement.
