Condenser Cleaning
Condenser cleaning:
42, BI-48, PRO48
You can use a soft coil condenser brush or soft thistle vacuum to clean the coils periodically.
Because the coils exchange heat, any dust, lint or dirt on the coils reduces the ability to exchange
heat. Most fridges have self-cleaning condensers, Sub-Zero does not. If there are pets in the
home then it's always safe to check and keep these clean. It's crucial to keep built-in or dual
compressor systems clean as in all Sub-Zero units.
How to Access Sub-Zero Condenser
Older units have three Philip screws under the grill that need to be removed. The fridge door
needs to be open to access these screws. On BI and PRO models the top grill will flip up like a car
hood with no tools necessary. The condenser is on the top right side and will just need to be
gently wiped out or softly vacuumed.

Questions and answers
Does the Model 561 have a water filter? Where is it located. I cannot find a service manual online for this model.
We have a Sub Zero Model 642 that has stopped making ice. What is the likely issue that has resulted in this problem? Initially, we were getting just a few ice cubes in the bin along with water that eventually froze in the bottom of the bin. Is this a pump problem? It's about 20 years old now, and the first problem we've experienced.
