Most common issues on this model

  1. SoftSystem dampers that have lost resistance on either door
  2. LED light strips that have dimmed or failed
  3. Freezer frost where the NoFrost defrost parts have stopped working
  4. IceMaker inlet restricted by scale
  5. Hardened gaskets along the hinge side of both doors

Two 24-inch integrated cabinets make up the SBS20HI, finished in the PremiumPlus trim of the 2009 line with LED lighting and the SoftSystem door damping. Panels cover both fronts, so the pair reads as one wall of cabinetry until a door is opened.

The damped closing action is the first thing an old unit loses. A worn damper lets a door slam or stop short, which breaks the seal and lets in humid air; we replace the damper and then test the gasket contact. LED strips come next, then the freezer defrost system and the IceMaker valve.

Because the IceMaker and FrostSafe alarm both run through the freezer, we test them together at the end of the visit. We give the price in writing first and stand behind the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

SBS20HISBS20HI questions
Do the LED lights on this pair need special replacement?

The LED strips are sealed units that slide into the column rather than ordinary bulbs. When one dims or fails, we replace the strip and check the door switch that controls it.

Which extras does the SBS20HI carry over the SBS20H0?

The SBS20HI adds LED lighting and the SoftSystem damped door, which the SBS20H0 lacks. The refrigerator and freezer capacities match, so cooling service is the same.

My doors close with a bang. Is that a problem?

Yes, it means the SoftSystem damper has worn. A hard close stresses the hinges and can leave the gasket crooked. We replace the damper and verify the door seals evenly.
