Read the fault first
The long-form end of a shop that works on the frozen half of a built-in Sub-Zero. Short, named faults live in the freezer problem library and what each repair runs is on the cost page; these are the pieces that need more room than either of those gives.
If one of them lets you fix it yourself with a brush and twenty minutes, that is a good outcome. The calls worth making are the ones that need a meter.

Repair It In Place or Carry It Down the Steps: Built-In Refrigeration on Silver Lake and Los Feliz Hillside Streets
On a Substandard Hillside Limited Street the question is not what failed but whether the built-in can be repaired where it stands: getting it down a narrow Silver Lake or Los Feliz roadway, or a public stairway, often costs more than the fault. Sub-Zero Repair Experts Los Angeles, (310) 496-3358.

Hollow, cloudy or fused: what your ice cubes are telling you

Fresh food side warm, freezer still frozen: reading a Sub-Zero built-in
On a dual-evaporator Sub-Zero, a warm fresh food compartment with a solid freezer is an airflow or defrost fault on one circuit, not a dead compressor. What to check, in order, before anyone quotes you a sealed system. Sub-Zero Repair Experts Los Angeles, (310) 496-3358.
Read it and still not sure?
