How to Clean a Condenser Coil on a Sub Zero Refrigerator

Sub-Zero offers a variety of professional-quality refrigerators for home and commercial use. Regular cleaning is necessary to keep dirt, dust and pet hair buildup from clogging the condenser coil. A dirty condenser coil can make the refrigerator run warmer and for longer periods of time. This can lead to higher energy bills and shorter appliance life. The Sub-Zero website recommends vacuuming the condenser coil at least every three months, or more often if you have shedding pets.
