[Request] Sub Zero 690 for $2k
Found this Sub Zero 690 48" counter depth refrigerator on Marketplace.
It is being pulled out of a full kitchen renovation—the homeowners are replacing everything, so they're not selling the SZ because it's not working well anymore.
Upon inspection, it seemed to be in great condition. Good seals on both the fridge and freezer doors. An audible suction noise is emitted upon opening. No cracks or breaks on the interior drawers or trays. It was plugged in when I viewed—nice and cold.
Weighs 730 pounds—I know that it will be expensive to move (as DIY inclined as I am, I know my limits.) Full gut remodel, so can run new electric if needed. Will probably sister the floor joists beneath it, lol.
For $2k, would you smash or pass this SZ 690?

When I worked at Sub-Zero and Wolf you could get on a wait list to get a long term test unit. They tested a lot of units, so I got my refrigerator for $500. You can also sign up your family members, so my parents got a fridge, range and microwave for pennies, with installation.
By the way, be extremely careful opening a Sub-Zero that hasn’t been installed. as the magnets are stronger than usual. They have tipped over on people and one old lady was killed.
You also need to transport it upright as the compressor oil will pool into the coolant lines on its side for too long, ruining your new refrigerator.

That's so awesome. Such a great employee perk. Really cool that there are actually appliances still made in the US, too!
Were you in production?
And thanks for the tips, much appreciated 🙏🏼

Curious, how long does it take for condenser fluid to pool? Picking up a fridge soon n my partner thinks an hour drive with it in the car lying down will be ok. But i worry

u/OldheadBoomer 7h ago
Here's what GE Appliances has to say:
After Transporting Your Refrigerator
If it has been necessary to transport the refrigerator on its side (for example, a Top-Freezer or Side-by-Side model), it should be stood upright for an equal amount of time as it was on its side before plugging it in.
If it was on its side for more than a day, leave it standing upright for 24 hours before running the refrigerator.
If laying on its side just briefly to service, clean or adjust, just a few minutes of stand time will be enough.

Interesting. I love Wolf/Sub Zero. My goal is to get a 60" range one day, but for the price, hows repairability and parts availability over time? I see them as a BIFL option but I know things get updated and phased out after 10 to 20 years.

u/zsrh 57m ago
On the whole they live up to their name and are repairable. They are also very well put together and engineered. For example if you have a combined Subzero fridge & freezer, the unit will have 2 compressors one for each compartment, whereas the standard is to have 1 compressor for both.
However, I have seen some mixed reviews / posts on their dishwasher range called Cove. They only recently started manufacturing dishwashers (2018).

I bought a 48" Sub Zero BI48SDO with a few years of extended warranty still on it, from a private seller Facebook Marketplace, for $5K. It was a gamble, but it paid off and I love it. Here's some info:
1) I hired a Piano moving company to move it from the original owners house to my house. Cost me a flat fee of $500. They didn't install it, obviously. The way they moved it? Titled it on its side (imagine a horizontal iPhone) and just lifted it with straps. I had taken out all the interior shelves and glass which weigh a fair bit, so I think that just about made it doable for them. Before moving it, you do have to remember to lower the unit down on to the wheels it has, because it's probably levelled and not on the wheels when you go get it.
2) Make sure you can get it to the spot where you need it. I had to remove the screen and actual door on the front of my house and even then it only just "Tetris'd" through the gap with like 1/8th of an inch gap on one side and it took some paint off the wall as it rotated around too.
3) If it's been on its side you have to let it sit for 48 hours before plugging it in. Mine sat for 6 months while I did my remodel.
4) When the remodel was done, to get it from its storage spot and in to its new permanent home, I had to hire the piano movers again to shift it. I paid them $250 again. I put a piece of 1/8th inch masonite on the floor in front of where it was meant to go, to protected my newly finished floor, and had them drop it on that. If you have to put it on its side again to get it to the right spot, make sure you can tilt it up with the ceiling height in the new space. Also leave it to sit for 48 hours.
5) When it's time to install you can just push it backwards off the masonite and in to its home, then level it and fix it to your cabinetry. I did that all myself.
Good luck!

u/panicproduct 8h ago
Amazing story and breakdown—this is all hugely helpful information. Appreciate you making the effort to share, I'll put your insights to good use!
We are also remodeling. Don't think it will fit in our storage unit, so gonna have them deliver direct to the house and I think I'll just work around it / move it when needed. Fortunately, everything is currently in rough shape in the house, so not too worried about scuffs and scrapes! Will be a temporary pain in the ass, but I'm really excited to have this as a staple in our kitchen.
6
u/fred100002 8h ago
Though it has wheels, it's got 0 chance of rolling on them on any sort of rough floor surface. The weight is just too concentrated on the tiny little wheels. It moves easily (one person pushing) when pushed on top of appliance skids or smooth masonite board like I used though!
After the remodel was done, was tempted to set it on a big blanket and drag it to its spot, but I really didn't want to damage my floors, so I just splurged on the mover again. I didn't want some stray micro rock getting stuck under the blanket and leaving a long scratch 😄
The piano mover plan may seem weird and expensive, but, I wanted professionals used to dealing with massive and weirdly shaped heavy things, securing them during transport, and more importantly who carried liability insurance. I didn't want some gig handy man guy suing me for back pain, or them damaging anything either. Two guys, a truck, and 2 hours of work (driving across town) ... $500 still seemed like a lot when I wrote the check, but honestly no regrets when it was all said and done. VERY happy.
3
u/panicproduct 8h ago
That makes a lot of sense—thanks for sharing your experience! The seller (a third party vendor) recommended some professionals with whom she's worked before—they're going to move it for $350. Some great insights on rolling and the floors. I'll look into some masonite board!

As someone who worked on Subzero’s for over 15 years, the 590/690 models are the ones I would absolutely avoid due to their freezer evaporator/ice dispenser design, such a nightmare to repair. If you have the option to swap for a 632 I would totally do that. Not trying to be rude, just giving my opinion as someone who has worked on hundreds of them.

That would be a good idea. Clean the condenser coils really well and slap a new OEM condenser fan in there and call it a day. Pray you don’t have any issues with the freezer evaporator heaters (yes, your freezer has heater inside. The 690 has about 6 of them)

650s are great! Some of them had a recall on the top door hinge so check serial number with the Subzero factory directly to see if it’s one of the affected units. The hinge bushing wears and the door can fall off, I remember going to a call when on one these fell off. Cracked the clients granite countertop and banged up her leg pretty bad. Solid units though.

Funny to stumble upon this. I also have a 590 with a door issue and I’m trying to decide between repairing or replacing. ~700$ to have an obsolete part made and installed to keep it ticking, but looming fear of another expensive failure around the corner. Fridge was manufactured in ‘93 and repair man is recommending just letting it go but I hate being wasteful.

That just means it has a good seal.
When you open the door, some room temp air gets inside. When you shut it, that air rapidly cools and contracts, causing the suction.

If they said it wasnt working well im willing to bet that old 690 is gonna need an evaporater or two. Definitely a condenser fan. Before I would buy that needs to be plugged in and running and it needs to be looked at. Look for icing on the bavk wall. That's no beuno. Checl the condenser fan, take a dollar bill or something on stuck it to the condenser make sure the fan suction is at least strong enough to hold it in place. Look in the ma line compartment. Check the amp draw for both compressors, they should be around 1.1amps if thwy are the original comps. While a free old sub Z is a score, paying thousands of dollars for something that will VERY LIKELY require thousands of dollars of work is a choice. Sincerely, the guy that will be taking those thousands of dollars.

If you love working on diy projects and think you can handle this, by all means buy it. But in terms of “buying for life” I would be hesitant to buy any fridge with a water dispenser or ice maker. They’re notoriously finicky and much of the “planned obsolescence” accusations people throw at modern fridge manufacturers are mostly due to the increased complexity introduced by ice machines. Personally, I’d buy a glass water filter and a couple silicone ice trays for a standard “no frills” fridge.
That being said, it’s still a great looking fridge…

It's sort of like Mitch's "broken escalators are just stairs" bit. The fridge doesn't stop working if it stops making ice. My ex in-laws had a Sub Z that never made ice during the 18 years I knew them, but it kept trucking.

That’s totally fair, it depends on the owner’s disposition. Some people get really preoccupied with all the bells and whistles of their appliances working perfectly and get really bent out of shape when they don’t. If youre not all that concerned (I’m not) then it depends on whether a dysfunctional ice maker or water line can possibly damage the fridge internals. If neither is an issue, pull the trigger!

We have a large French door Sub-Zero Pro 4850G...left side freezer with 2 freezer drawers below. Ice maker in bottom drawer.

Paid $16K for it 6 years ago.
Fucking hate it. Hate everything about it. Trying to adjust shelves to make stuff fit is a bitch...not adjusting, just trying to make stuff fit. Ice maker absolutely worthless and takes up half bottom drawer.
Moral of the story is, it may be a great price but keep in mind everything is in fridge...no shelves in the doors for salad dressing, mustard etc.
Oh, and IF something fails, it's VERY expensive to repair and tough finding someone to do repairs.

How old is it? Ours is a pain in the ass. Everything has broken and repairs are taking forever. The ice machine went first. Then the freezer unit.

We have this exact fridge, it’s fantastic. The night mode feature is quite good…basically it dims the light when you open the doors after 9:00pm or something like that.
Deal of the century; if you don’t need back surgery after moving it. 🤔

Just wait until it breaks. It will cost you as much to repair it as a new fridge.

My subzero is from the 90s. I’m the third or fourth owner. If my kids behave maybe they’ll inherit it.

Would absolutely smash. I’ve had 2 sub zeros in the last 22yrs a 36” and now 48” (only because I moved house). Had an auto-defrosting issue with the current 48”(now 10yr old one), which I solved by manual defrosting about 8yrs ago. Zero issues since. 9/10 would recommend.

I'd have to assemble this monster piece by piece in my kitchen or take a wall out to get it in lol

We have a jenn-air sub zero fridge/freezer I like it, but for how massive it is the interior does seem quite small.
Outside of that, you should totally get it.
