SBS245

Most common issues on this model

1. Wine zones drifting from their set temperatures
2. Humidity loss or condensation in the wine compartment
3. BioFresh section no longer holding steady cold
4. NoFrost freezer coil icing over
5. IceMaker inlet restricted by scale

Five temperature zones in one 48-inch stainless pair make the SBS245 unusual: a refrigerator, a BioFresh section, two wine zones for 34 bottles, and a NoFrost freezer. It was listed in 2009, so a household that bought one has a collection resting inside a cabinet that is now past its warranty.

Because wine ages poorly when conditions wander, we begin with the wine zones. We place a probe in each, compare it to the display, and look at the door seal, the fan and the humidity. Then we move to the BioFresh section and the refrigerator, and finish with the freezer coil and the IceMaker.

If the wine zones need work, we suggest moving the bottles to a cool spot first. Written pricing precedes every repair, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
