Interesting upscale bit of kit.
What was reason this unit wasn't offered for sale in California or Massachusetts? Or maybe I shouldn't ask..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Sub-zer... |

I think that's the same rule here, it's "supposed" to be working. But since the fridge needs to be out at the curb for pick up, they don't check, and once they take it I doubt they'd go to work of testing it and then the expense of returning it. I suppose they could refuse your $50, but then you could fib * and "say it worked perfectly fine until you guys banged it around". I saw a video of how they recycle refrigerators. They're placed on a conveyor belt and robotic arms tear them apart.
* fib = white lie. There's an old saying, "white lies are the ushers for black ones". I'm afraid I've told more of the darker variety over my many years.

I think CA and MA may have implemented energy use standards that this particular SZ didn't meet.
I agree 100% with Kenny. I used to house-sit for people who had a bottom freezer SZ and they were on a first name basis with Tom, the local independent repair guy. They would always make sure to leave his number with me when I house-sat. |

My neighbors Ann and Russell had a Sub-Zero that was installed when they built the house in the mid 80's. They had a lot of trouble with it, and said they wish they had just got a regular refrigerator, such as a Whirlpool or GE. |

Some years ago I had a friend in Chicago who kept a Kosher kitchen. He had this refrigerator. He was having a party one night and someone was trying to help out and put a cheese and sausage pizza in the refrigerator.
His Rabbi told him the refrigerator had to be put outside for I think 60 days (its' been a long time the number could be wrong) so he took it out of the cabinet and put it outside covered up with a tarp for whatever the amount of time was. I remember visiting him one day. I walked into his fabulous kitchen and in the place of the SZ frig was a small dorm type frig he used until the time was up. |

My house was built by a Rabbi. I used to get The Hadassah News in my mailbox for 3 years. The kitchen was designed with 2 of everything, ovens, refrigerators, dishwashers, sinks etc. That's a lot of work taking a built-in anything outside for 60 days let alone a king-sized fridge. And here I thought eating fish every Friday was such a pain when I was young. |
