I have a sub zero 650 refrigerator. Although the "vacuum condenser" signal was not flashing, I recently noticed that the condenser was very dusty, so I vacuumed it. Now the flashing condenser signal is on, and it won't turn off, even after I switch the unit power button off and on again.
The vacuum condenser indicator keeps flashing on and off. I did vacuum the unit, the the indicator lights keeps flashing on and off. How can I reset it and keep it off?
Thanks,
Rob
Here's the answer, from an official Sub Zero repair company in NYC: If the "vacumm condenser" light keeps flashing after you've opened and cleaned the condenser grill, try this: either pull out the plug for the Sub Zero refrigerator or turn off the circuit breaker (or fuse) in your house that leads to it, wait for some minutes and then turn back on. It is NOT enough to turn off the unit using its own internal on-off switch - it has to be totally disconnected from the AC. I did so, waited 15 minutes, turned back on, and it worked!! I had vacuumed the condenser grill twice but the "vacuum condenser" light kept flashing AND the refrig would go bonkers if set below 38. Now the flashing warning is off and it's down to 35. Great !!!
Hi, I repair subzeros for long time. As of my experience shows most likely its not that condenser is clogged. Usually if You cleaned condenser and light still appears, Your refrigerator has a small leak of freon, usually its at the evaporator coils. I made a video of how to replace evaporator. Most likely You will need to call Repair company. Check this video out. Thanks! How To Replace Evaporator On SubZero Refrigerator 500 series HD 1080

We recommend vacuuming your condenser every 3 - 6 months. Cleaning the condenser is important for the overall operations of the unit including cooling functions. A dirty condenser may lead to warm temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer. It may also cause the unit to run excessively. It may contribute to condensation or frost inside of the compartments. If the condenser is not cleaned properly it may even cause premature failure of mechanical components in the unit. Condenser Cleaning - All Models Before cleaning the unit, shut the electricity off at the control panel. When you clean the condenser, wear gloves to avoid injury from the sharp condenser fins. Use a soft bristle brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser. To avoid bending the condenser fins, be sure to vacuum in the direction of the fins, up and down. Clean the condenser every three to six months or sooner if you have pets. 600 Series Framed and Stainless Steel louvered grilles: First remove the grille screws located at the bottom of the grille.
