Saw this Sub Zero on Craigslist. Ad stated it wasn't cooling, but I figured it was worth a shot. Got it home and found the condenser fan was trying to run but was just creeping and not spinning up to speed. Replaced the motor ($31), turned it on, and found no refrigerant in the system. Pulled a vacuum, and it held, so I put a refrigerant charge in it, and it's working beautifully. Started moving bottles out of my other coolers to resolve some overcrowding, and now I can buy more. Super lucky and super happy!

Seems like your ingenuity has been rewarded – pretty cool 👍👍
You are beyond stocked!
Way beyond my level of patience for refrigerator debugging, but definitely worth it if you can hack it! Nicely done.
