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

[Doug Braun]

Yes, several time a year I remove the grille and vacuum and blow out the
condenser, and make sure all the fans are OK.  This fridge has five motors,
and most of them run all the time.  I don't see how they can claim that S-Zs
are more energy-efficient than other fridges!

(Actually there are seven motors:  2 compressors, one condenser fan, two
interior fans, the defroster timer, and the icemaker.)

Fortunately my ice maker works fine, even when the freezer temp is higher than
it should be.

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.
