Warm refrigerator, steady freezer
A Normandy Park call usually begins with the same observation: the freezer is fine but the refrigerator has lost its edge. That tells us to look at the refrigerator’s own air before anything else. The fan that pulls air over its evaporator is the part we most often find at fault, slowing with age until the shelves warm even though the coil behind them is still cold.
What the frame shows
Kitchens near open doors to a garden or deck, and homes with dogs and cats, tend to feed a condenser a steady diet of lint and hair. The frame is a coil in that state, furred over, with the fan beside it and dust across the floor pan. A condenser like that cannot shed heat, and the cabinet runs longer and harder to hold its temperature. Sub-Zero puts the cleaning interval at six to twelve months, and a household with pets needs it more often. It does not recommend condenser chemicals or degreasers, and warns against bending the aluminum fins.
A clean coil helps a cabinet that is merely struggling; it does not revive a stopped fan or a failed seal. If the refrigerator is still warm a day after cleaning, the fault lies elsewhere.
Finding the house
Some homes here sit down private drives or on lanes with little parking. When you book, describe the approach, where the vehicle can stop and how far it is to the kitchen.
Ready when you call
Note both readings and when the condenser was last cleaned. Sub-Zero Appliance Repair Seattle answers on (206) 339-4211 and will ask for the model number first.

Production had dropped to a few cubes a day and I expected to be told it needed replacing. Scale packed around the mould and a thermistor reading badly. Cleared and fitted, full bin next day.
Malik O.Magnolia
The lower zone would not come down below the mid fifties whatever I set. He found a refrigerant restriction and was straight that it meant sealed-system work rather than a quick part. Steady for a month.
Hamish L.Laurelhurst
The undercounter unit was sweating at the door and smelled damp inside. Vacuum seal had gone soft along one edge. New gasket, hinge adjusted, and it shuts with a proper thunk again.
