[Shop-talk] Sub Zero (Was- Freon Leak detectors)

[Matt Wehland]

I'm not sure exactly what it was, but I do know my folks Sub Zero had 
cooling problems and it was related to fans, I think both fans for the 
cooling units (there are 2 IIRC) and for circulation in the fridge/freezer.

I remember them having to set up a box fan to blow on the condensors on 
top of the fridge.
One other time they just had to empty the fridge until parts came in.

No freon/compressor work has been done on this unit that I know of.

Are all you fans working?

On a side not does any one know why ice cubes won't freeze properly in 
this overpriced piece of @#%$ (sorry, I actually like the thing, but it 
can't make ice to save it's @#$%#@ life).

The water comes out ok, but it doesn't freeze completely before being 
dumped.  The water then leaks out of the cubes and freezes into one big 
block.

There is no timing adjustment that I can find, either in the freezer or 
in any of the online manuals/parts diagrams.
