Whether you’re closing up a second home or just heading out for a few weeks, a little preparation keeps your Sub-Zero refrigeration running smoothly while you’re away.
Don’t Turn It Off Completely
Unless you’re emptying the unit entirely, leave it running — cycling a refrigeration system off and back on is harder on the compressor than continuous operation.
Check the Door Seal Before You Leave
A seal that’s borderline can fail while you’re away with no one to notice the resulting temperature drift — worth a quick check before an extended absence.
Clear the Condenser
A quick coil cleaning before a long trip reduces the odds of an excessive-runtime problem developing while nobody’s home to catch it early.
If Something Does Go Wrong
Many Sub-Zero Group app-connected units can alert you remotely to a problem while you’re away — if yours does, don’t ignore a notification just because you’re not home. Visit our refrigerator repair page as soon as you’re able to arrange access.
