The light switch at the top of the door frame is bad. it controls all the lighting including the display for the board. you will have to remove the grille up top, remove the cover over the 2 switches, and replace the switch that is all white. the one with a black back is for the fan and rarely goes bad. Just unplug the unit or at least turn it off before changing this switch, as it is live any time the unit is turned on.

Most likely a bad light switch, if all the lights are out in the fridge side. easy to change by removing the upper grille like you do to clean the condenser, then removing the cover over the switches.

Unplug the fridge or kill the circuit breaker, remove the 2 wires from the all white one, remove the switch from the frame of the fridge by squeezing it out with a pair of pliers and dropping it out of the frame. new one snaps back into place, Hook up the 2 wires you removed earlier, doesn't matter which wire goes on which terminal. hope this helps!

It is likely the condenser fan is not functioning, or the condenser is dirty. You may need to open the compressor access panel to check. If you can hear the compressor running, and the condenser feels warm, the fan should be running. If it isn't, it probably needs to be replaced. Another symptom is the area around the doors feels warm.

It is perfectly normal for the refr door on a side by side Subzero to stick out a little further than the freezer door. That light could mean several things. If you have vacuumed the condenser then you should call a repairman to look at it.

Open the refr door and look up into the bulk ice chute. You should be able to see the nozzle the water comes out of. the is probably some scale build up in the end of the nozzle.

That light comes on when the unit is running more than normal to maintain temperature. Have you vacuumed the condenser coil at the top right of the unit? It could be that simple. There is also a fan up top to move air thru the condenser that may be stalling out and not circulating air. The most expensive cause would be a sealed system issue such as a refrigerant leak. With a replacement cost somewhere around $10,000 you may just be better of locating your local authorized service center.
