The bags are what comes after it. Diagnostic $80 Credited Toward the repair Estimate Written, before work Parts Genuine OEM ## The flat diagnostic $80, flat, for any refrigeration cabinet inside the published service area. It buys a full diagnosis rather than a look: both compartments measured against both setpoints, the condenser located for that specific series and assessed, any stored service code recorded as found, and the failing sealed system identified before a component is condemned. It is credited toward the repair if you go ahead. If you do not, you keep the written estimate and you owe nothing further. ## Why we do not publish repair prices Because a dual-refrigeration cabinet does not have one failure mode. A warm fresh-food compartment can be an evaporator fan, a defrost circuit, a thermistor, a restriction or a slow refrigerant loss on one of two circuits. Those are not close to each other in cost, and a price list that pretends otherwise exists to get the door open. A published parts price is worse. Board fit on these cabinets is serial-dependent. Quoting a board number from a website and shipping the wrong one is a common and expensive mistake. ## What is included in a repair Labor, the part, the return visit if the part had to be ordered, and our own coverage: 90 days on labor and 365 days on parts. Genuine OEM parts. No aftermarket substitutions on sealed-system or control components. Nothing is ordered and no work begins until the written estimate is approved. If a second fault surfaces during the repair, it is quoted separately before it is touched. ## The one discount that is real If your cabinet is between six and twelve years old, ask about the manufacturer's limited sealed-system coverage before you approve anything. In years 6 through 12 the sealed-system part is still covered, parts only. A homeowner may have that work done by an independent shop: the covered part is obtained from the manufacturer directly and the homeowner pays the labor. On a compressor or evaporator failure that changes the number substantially. [The detail is here](https://firstcoastsubzero.com/warranty/).

Reference ## Pricing questions - What does the $80 diagnostic cover?: The visit, both compartment temperatures read against both setpoints, condenser assessment for that series, identification of which of the two sealed systems is affected, and a written estimate. If you approve the repair, the $80 is credited against it. - Do you charge for an estimate?: No. The estimate is produced from the diagnostic and handed over before anything is ordered. You are free to take it elsewhere. - Can you quote a repair over the phone?: Not honestly. A warm fresh-food compartment has at least five distinct causes on a dual-refrigeration cabinet and they differ by an order of magnitude in cost. We can tell you the likely range once we know the series and the measured temperatures. - Is there a second diagnostic fee if the part takes two visits?: No. One diagnostic per fault. If a part has to be ordered, the return visit to fit it is part of the quoted repair. Independent service company ## Book a diagnostic $80 flat diagnostic, credited toward the repair.
