I have a Sub-Zero 601R Refrigerator/Freezer. Small amounts of water is leaking from the front door. The drops of water are falling from the bottom left hinge and appear to be coming from an area where the rubber gasket on the door meets the interior of the refrigerator. Is this a common problem?

SOURCE: Sub Zero 632 leaking water

Had the same problem on the same model (632). Turned out to be a plugged drain tube on the condensate collection trough located on back wall of the refrigerator. Simply pull out the crisper drawer (the drawer below the lowest shelf) and you'll bee the trough. The drip tube can easily be plugged by a vegetable leak or grape, etc which had fallen into this trough. Hope its as simple for you as for us.

SOURCE: sub zero refrig - ice forming inside

The solution posted previously is TOTALLY WRONG. A Sub Zero ref doesn't have a heating element in the fresh food section. Only in the Frozen food section. It has 2 totally separate systems for each section. 2 Compressors and 2 evaporators. They share a condenser. If you are having ice build up in the refrigerator then the problem you are having is a refrigerant leak in the fresh food evaporator. You need to have a certified tech come out and replace the evaporator in your refrigerator section of your Sub Zero. Not sure what you are asking about the thermostat.

SOURCE: I want to reverse the hinges.

Only if the fridge is set up for this. Look at the top right corner of the case and see if there is a plastic plug. If there is it is drilled and tapped for the mounting hardware that is being used on the left. Remove the hinges and put them on the right side. The door handle should have the same set up.

Hi. My Sub Zero 632 is dripping water from the bottom corner of the freezer door. Can you tell me what the problem is and how I might fix this? Thank you so much.

It does appear that your side by side refrigerator has an ice maker, so that rules out any extra water from a faulty valve.
I think the seal on your freezer door may be broken/torn.
Usually there is no water (per se) in the freezer, but as things thaw, or as the door is opened it can create condensation that leaks. The freezer will retain cool for a while but eventually things will thaw out and water will leak.
Please check the thermostat for the freezer, and make sure there are no containers leaking in the fridge portion.
Good luck.

Sub-zero 550. freezer icing

You probably have some food on the way. Unload the freezer and see if the door would close better. Looks like you have a warm air leak.

Freezer below temperature. Set to 0F and is at -20F.

If this is just a freezer then the likely problem is a failed thermostat. If it is a combo then check the refrigerator settings and possibly a door leak in the refrigerator. The refrigeration is shared between both sides and to my knowledge never 100% on either side.

Good Luck,

My ice maker is letting too much water go into the ice tray so it freezes in a solid piece. Cubes do fall down but there is so much water it freezes into a solid block

The icemaker produces small cubes if the water fed into it is not enough and lumped together if too much water is supplied. In order to obtain the desired size of ice cubes, the amount of water supplied to the ice maker needs to be adjusted. Adjust the valve supplying water to the icemaker or the unit in general in such a way that right amount of water fills the ice tray.

Water leaking from the front-bottom of the freezer drawer

A faulty door gasket will definitely cause excessive condensate and running time. There is also a door heating system which is from heated refrigerant circulating around the area where door gasket meets cabinet. You should be able to feel a certain amount of warmth in this area. If not there could be condensation again from cold leaking out of the gasket and being formed on the actual cabinet.

Sub-Z 550 reidge internal leak

The tube behind the crisper drawers is not insulated well enough and will repeatedly freeze, leaving the water to drain on your floor. The solution is to thaw the tube and put a piece of copper the length of your tube, into the area below. The wire extending into the area below is just warm enough to keep the tube from freezing.

Cannot open the bottom freezer door anymore; it seems stuck

sounds as though the defrost system has failed or the freezer defrost drain is blocked. take off the back panel of the freezer and see if excess ice build up. if so, defrost carefully with a hairdryer. at bottom is a drain. check if blocked with ice and if so melt off with hot water till water flows away freely. if i'm right, appliance will start to work. if fault re-occure then defrost system is at fault
