Sub-Zero 601R

Model # 601R

Sub-Zero refrigerator repair

The 601R is a built-in all-refrigerator from the 600 Series, no longer produced, with a lighted electronic control panel, adjustable spill-proof glass shelves, a roll-out utility basket, an egg container, and a high-humidity crisper drawer.

Restricted airflow at a dust-clogged condenser grille is one of the more common issues we see on a 601R, since it makes the compressor work harder to hold the same temperature. A cabinet that recovers slowly after the door has been held open is another sign worth watching, and the high-humidity crisper drawer no longer running square on its slides — so it won’t seal when pushed home — is a mechanical wear issue specific to this model’s drawer design.

FAQ

Sub-Zero 601R FAQ

Slow recovery like that often points to restricted condenser airflow — check the grille for dust buildup before assuming a bigger problem.

The drawer has likely come out of square on its slides after years of use, which is a mechanical wear issue rather than a cooling problem.
