The Appliances This Shop Works On
Four categories, and no others. Sub-Zero Repair Winchester works on refrigeration: refrigerators, freezers, ice makers and wine storage. Cooking equipment, dishwashers and laundry are somebody else's trade, and saying so is more useful to you than a list that pretends otherwise.
Flat $95 service call — the trip and the diagnosis — credited against the repair if you approve one. 8:00 am – 8:00 pm, seven days.
Why the narrow list
Refrigeration is its own discipline. A sealed system, a defrost cycle, an evaporator and the airflow around it behave according to rules that have nothing in common with a gas burner or a wash pump. Somebody who works on all of it carries a shallower set of parts and a shallower set of habits. Somebody who works on one of them arrives with the right fan motor for a fifteen-year-old column already on the van.
What each category actually covers
- Refrigerators — built-in columns, integrated panel-ready units, side-by-sides, French-door and freestanding units, and refrigerator drawers in an island
- Freezers — freezer columns, bottom-freezer compartments, drawer freezers and standalone units in a garage or lower level
- Ice makers — the module built into a freezer, and standalone clear-ice machines under a counter or in a bar cabinet
- Wine cabinets — single and dual zone, undercounter and full height, integrated and freestanding
What a visit costs, and when
A flat $95 service call covers the trip and the full diagnosis and is credited against the repair if you approve one. The bands below are where most repairs land once the fault is actually known, and the figure is given as one number for parts and labour before anything is opened.

Cost
Quoted in full before anything is opened
Flat $95 service call covering the visit and full diagnosis, credited against the repair once you approve it. The bands below are where most repairs land once the fault is known.
- Door gasket or seal replacement $290–$760
- Evaporator or condenser fan motor $320–$650
- Defrost heater, thermostat or sensor $280–$680
- Ice maker, water valve or supply line $300–$700
- Electronic control board $480–$920
- Compressor or sealed-system repair $1,000–$2,330
Worth repairing? A comparable new unit runs $8,270 to $19,510
A comparable built-in refrigerator, appliance only — before delivery, installation, custom panels or cabinetry work. Undercounter and wine units sit below this band; a column replacement is usually two purchases rather than one.
What moves a job inside its band
Which circuit failed
A door seal, a fan motor, a defrost heater and a sealed system sit at very different points on the same range. What failed decides most of the figure before anything else does.
Whether the part is still made
A current platform part arrives in days. A superseded board or a discontinued evaporator means a supersession lookup and a longer wait, and that shows up in the quote honestly.
What it takes to reach it
A hillside house with the unit backed onto an exterior wall, or a column boxed in by a stone counter, is more work to open than a unit that rolls forward. Access is quoted, not discovered.
One trip or two
If the part is on the van it finishes that day. If not, the return is inside the quoted figure rather than added to it afterwards.

Our lower level unit tripped its breaker during the heat. He found a bulging fan capacitor and a wiring nut backed off in the base. Both fixed, then he checked the circuit load before switching it on.

The arm was stuck in its raised position and nothing we tried brought it down. Gearbox in the module had stripped. New module, cabinet levelled, and he showed me the test button hidden behind the cover.

Both halves lost temperature together over one weekend. It was the dual-compressor relay rather than a sealed system failure, which is what I had braced myself for. Fixed in a single visit and holding fine.
