I have the Sub Zero 550 Bottom Freezer Refrigerator. Just recently, the Freezer section started getting warmer and the ice maker stopped working...all at roughly the same time. It had been set to "5" regularly. I turned the freezer to 0, vaccuumed out the coils/air intake up top, made sure the fan at the top was running (which it is), set the freezer temp back to 5 and am waiting to see what happens. The freezer only gets cold enough to freeze ice when I set it to 10 now. And the ice maker itself still is not working. The refrigerator part has been working fine all along. Any idea what might have happened? Is there some trouble shooting I can do with the ice maker? Would a busted ice maker affect the entire temperature of the freezer? Please help :) Thanks, D

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 not working on Sub-Zero 550 Refrigerator/Freezer
You probably need to defrost freezer - frozen moisture possibly stockedevap. fan motor in the freezer. Turn it OFF for 24 hours and start itover. Make sure no moisture condensation on the freezer compartmentsurfaces as walls and shelfs. If so wipe it out. Pull out and remove upper basket from the freezer, push fan switch which is located almost under ice maker.You have to hear evaporator fan motor start working. Still not work? Call to professionaltechie! Good luck! :)

Sub-Zero 550 - freezer unit is chilling, but not freezing
Ice maker was intermittent at best - ice was often just a shell. After two failures to correct we had the ice maker (a Whirlpool - on a Sub Zero - Go figure) replaced. Then the paddle that detects the ice level broke. Next step a new GE.
