Sub-Zero 249FFI freezer with ice maker repair
The 249FFI adds an automatic ice maker and bucket to the 249FF’s all-freezer design, and Sub-Zero writes it 249FF(I). It belongs to the discontinued 200 Series undercounter family and is commonly under a counter in a bar or garage kitchen.
The ice maker adds more ways for things to go wrong: a water line, a valve and a mold that has to freeze correctly. On the freezer side, the defrost cycle and the door seal are the usual suspects, and a poor seal feeds frost into the ice maker area too.
We check the gasket, the defrost parts and the ice maker’s water path. You get a written price before we start, and a 30-day workmanship warranty. We also look at the bucket and the ice chute for frozen clumps that can block the ice from dropping.
Water supply, the fill valve or the freezing temperature are the usual causes. We test each in turn, and we give you a written price before replacing any part of the ice maker.
The gasket or hinge may be worn, or frost may be holding the door off its seat. We inspect all three and clear any ice buildup, which often restores the seal without new parts.
Yes, that is how Sub-Zero writes it in its install guide, which covers several 200 Series undercounter models. We treat them the same and match parts using the data plate.
