Sub-Zero & Viking Repair of Los Angeles

Different Appliances Issues We Fix

This may happen due to dirty condenser coils, a faulty thermostat, or poor airflow caused by blocked vents. Start by cleaning the coils and ensuring the fridge isn’t overloaded. If the issue persists, the temperature control or fan motor may need repair.

Water leakage can come from clogged or cracked drain hoses, damaged seals, or blocked defrost drains. Check all hoses and connections for wear and clean out the drain pan under your appliance.

Frost buildup usually means the door isn’t sealing properly, or the defrost system isn’t working. Inspect the door gasket for cracks, and make sure nothing is preventing it from closing completely.

Your ice maker may have a blocked water line, a faulty valve, or a frozen water inlet. Make sure the water supply is on, and check for ice jams inside the unit.

Grinding, buzzing, or knocking sounds could indicate a motor issue, loose parts, or worn bearings. It’s best to shut off the unit and inspect moving components for damage.

Error codes indicate specific faults, like sensor failures or control board issues. Refer to your user manual to decode the message, or contact a technician for advanced diagnostics.

A flashing service light typically means the unit needs maintenance. This could relate to filters, sensors, or general performance. Reset the indicator if it’s a routine alert, or call for service if the appliance isn’t functioning.

A gas smell could indicate a serious leak. Immediately shut off the gas supply, open windows, and do not use any electrical switches. Contact your gas company or an emergency appliance technician.

Ignition issues often come from clogged burner holes, a faulty igniter, or electrical failure. Clean the burners and check for clicking or sparking when turning the knob.

This could be due to a faulty heating element, malfunctioning thermostat, or control board. Try resetting the oven and checking for visible signs of damage inside.

Inconsistent temperature could stem from failing thermostats, broken fans, or overstuffed interiors blocking airflow. Keep vents clear and check the appliance’s settings.

This is often caused by a blown magnetron or high-voltage capacitor failure. If the microwave runs but doesn’t heat, professional repair is likely required.

A non-functional blower may have a faulty switch, motor, or loose wiring. Make sure the fan switch clicks and power is reaching the motor.

Ice on the back wall may block cold air circulation, usually caused by a defrost system failure. Defrost the unit manually and check for airflow blockages.

Worn or dirty door seals can prevent proper closure. Clean the gaskets and check for cracks. If they’re damaged, replacing the seal will solve the issue.

A noisy compressor may be due to loose mounting, worn parts, or internal failure. While some hum is normal, loud clunks or rattles should be evaluated by a professional.

It may be due to a frozen water line, low water pressure, or a defective inlet valve. Ensure the filter isn’t clogged and that the water supply is connected.

This can be due to faulty sensors, a blown fuse, or a defective control board. If your oven stops during preheat, it may overheat or fail to detect the set temperature.

Continuous clicking is usually caused by moisture or food residue around the igniter. Dry and clean the burners to restore normal function.

This could be due to a faulty water inlet valve, float switch, or control board. Make sure the water supply valve is open and filters aren’t blocked.

This happens when the igniter is wet or misaligned. Clean the burner cap and check that it’s properly seated. Persistent clicking may require a new spark module.

This may result from blocked vents, failing thermostats, or malfunctioning fans. Ensure there’s enough space around the fridge and monitor temperature readings.

A clogged filter, blocked hose, or faulty drain pump can prevent drainage. Clean the filter and inspect the hose for kinks or clogs.

Ignition failure may be due to a dirty burner, worn igniter, or gas supply issues. Clean all components and ensure the gas valve is open.

Error codes are built-in diagnostics that point to internal faults. Look up the code in your manual, or contact a service technician for an exact repair.

Replace it when you notice heat escaping, visible cracks, or the seal isn’t flush. A poor seal can lead to uneven cooking and wasted energy.

This could be from a clogged defrost drain, cracked water line, or faulty door seal. Clean the drain hole and check for leaks under the fridge.

Dirty dishes could be due to low water pressure, worn spray arms, or old detergent. Clean filters and arms, and run the dishwasher with vinegar to remove buildup.

A broken heating element, thermal fuse, or thermostat could be the cause. Check for proper airflow and ensure the settings aren’t on “air fluff.”

Washing machine codes may relate to unbalanced loads, draining problems, or sensor malfunctions. Reset the machine and refer to the manual for meanings.

This might be due to a tripped breaker, faulty control board, or a blown fuse. Make sure there’s power at the outlet and check the control panel for signs of life.

This may occur due to compressor issues, thermostat failure, or a control board malfunction. Unplug the fridge for 5 minutes and restart; if it still doesn’t cool, call a technician.

A clogged filter, scale buildup, or faulty heating element can interrupt brewing. Run a cleaning cycle using vinegar or a descaler, and ensure water is flowing.

This could be caused by a full bag, clogged hose, or dirty filter. Empty the canister, clean the filter, and check for blockages in the suction path.
