Check click's on for evaporter fan moter
I have a 19yr old Sub Zero, bottom freezer model 511. The freezer failed and the compressor, dryer, cold control and defrost timer were replaced. The freezer does not work properly. It will make ice but the cubes stick together and ice cream melts and refreezes. The lowest temperature I have recorded was 2 degrees on the max setting and it rises to 20 and higher for several hours at a time. The light and heater appear to function properly. The service man has been here numerous times and has contacted Sub Zero service. The gas was replaced, pressures rechecked and compressor current draw verified. Any suggestions?

The fan motor runs OK and the refrigerator works quite well. They have a common evaporator.
Regarding investing in a 19 year old machine, you bet. I haven't priced a replacement but I believe I paid $5000 for it 19 years ago. I saw a competitive model priced at $6800. There is also an Italian unit at over $9000. The unit is in perfect physical condition. The freezer is operationally sick. Of course if the problem can't be solved, then it would be a bad investment. It seems to me it should be solvable.
Are you shore the evaportor is comon ?
Look where temp controll for frezer prob is going you will see

confused:
You have two compressor's so pull the sliding draw out from frezer get on your knee's and look upAnd you will find this coil that's not removing unwanted heat

Thanks A1 Burt. My teminology was wrong. I was referring to the condenser when I said they were common. I have looked at the evaporator coil in the freezer. It does get frosty and it does ge clear.
I looked just now and it appears to be perfectly clear. No sign of frost. It has been out of defrost about 20 minutes and the temperature is 20 degrees.
