I have a 27 year old subzero at home, it's been fixed twice, once under warranty (it was just under 10 years old at the time) and again a month ago. The thermostat was bad, $500 including the service call and it's back up and running. New replacement is $14,000 and 11 month wait.I wish I knew that and your resource a year ago. The service tech said my evap coil had a hole in it and they were no longer available. He could try to make an aftermarket or other freezer's coil work but he would not stand behind it. He wanted to fit a new Wolf-SubZero drawer unit for just shy of $5500 plus the cost of the facing - no ice maker. Ack.
Drove me the path I took. In the end I think a better solution replacing both for less than $6500.
But then the SubZero's were new in 2006 - long in the tooth, what would fail next.
Boat had a fridge that would shut off occasionally, it was tbe coil temp sensor that was bad, $250 in total including service call.
You need to find your major SubZero repair center in your area, Quite possible there is only one of them in all of FL. Our center covers nearly all of New England. They don't sell new appliances, strictly repairs so they have no reason to point you to new.
