Sub-Zero Repair in Gig Harbor

City water or a private well

Gig Harbor sits on the far side of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and its kitchens do not all drink the same water. Depending on the street, the tap may be fed by the city or by a well, shared or private.

On an ice fault that difference decides where the diagnosis starts. City water arrives at a steady pressure; a well delivers whatever the pump and tank are doing at that moment, and the ice maker’s fill valve feels every swing.

What we see here

  1. On a well, the pressure at the ice maker rises and falls each time the pump cycles, and Sub-Zero's advice for well homes is a booster or regulator where it runs low or uneven.
  2. Pressure that sags shows up first as small or hollow cubes, well before the bin stops filling altogether.
  3. Many well houses carry an in-line or whole-house filter as well as the cartridge in the Sub-Zero, and Sub-Zero's own troubleshooting says to check both.

On your side of the Shut-Off Line

  1. Take the supplier's name off your water bill, because a Gig Harbor street may be on city water, a shared system or a private well.
  2. On a well, read the gauge beside the pressure tank while a kitchen tap runs, and write down the lowest figure you see.
  3. Check any in-line or whole-house filter on the main as well as the one inside the unit; Sub-Zero's troubleshooting asks for both.

Then the five that apply anywhere, in order: switch, filter, supply valve, fill tube, arm and bin.

  • Bluff-side house, wine column sitting four degrees warm all summer. He found the condenser fan running slow and the coil furred with salt. Cleaned it, new motor, holding spec now.

  • Hillside condo, freezer running warm and loud at the same time. He pulled the rear panel, found the evaporator packed in ice, and traced it to a drain heater that had quit.

  • Compressor ran non-stop and the cabinet sides were hot to the touch. The condenser pack was choked with dust from a remodel. Cleaned it, tested it, and the unit has cycled normally ever since.
