When only the refrigerator warms
The refrigerator side of a classic combination Sub-Zero cools on its own circuit, so a freezer that stays hard rules out less than it seems to. What we usually find behind a warm fresh-food side is the evaporator fan, and after that the sensor that tells the control what the compartment is doing. The manufacturer’s check is simple: a thermometer sunk in water in a glass, set mid-compartment and left for hours; a reading far from the display points to the sensor rather than the cooling.
Testing at the machine bay
The frame shows the other half of the job: meter probes on a wiring connector beside the compressor and the condenser fan in an open lower bay. When both sides slip together, the condenser fan and its connections are checked there first, and the sealed system is considered only once air and wiring are cleared.
Townhouse and apartment access
In a townhouse the kitchen can be a flight or two up, and parking may be on the street or in a shared lot. Tell us which when you book, along with any entry code and who will be home.

Freezer went warm between Christmas and New Year with a season of food inside. Someone answered at ten at night. Failed defrost thermostat, and he moved the food into a cooler while it pulled back down.
Oskar H.Magnolia
The compressor never cycled off, loud enough to hear from the dining room. Condenser was packed with dust and the fan blade fouled. Cleaned, checked on gauges, and it rests between cycles again.
Bram T.Madison Park
A puddle on the freezer floor kept refreezing into a lump. He traced it to a fill tube dribbling past the mould, not a cracked line. Dry ever since.
