What the Dispenser Adds to 690 Service
The dispenser is what sets this model apart from non-dispenser 600 series side-by-sides like the Sub Zero 642. It adds a water line through the door, a dispenser valve circuit, and controls that are not found on those models, so water problems on this 690 refrigerator have more possible causes. Check the supply, filter, and inlet valve before replacing the ice maker. Temperature problems usually show up on one side first; isolate that compartment and check its fan and door seal before any compressor work. The 690 manual and 690 diagram show valve and fan positions. For 690 repair steps, open the model troubleshooting page.
Most Replaced 690 Refrigerator Parts
Ice Maker and Dispenser
If ice stops but water dispenses, the water path is working and the ice maker or freezer temperature is the issue. If neither works, check the supply and valve first. Replace the ice maker only after water reaches it.
Water Inlet Valve
The 690 water inlet valve feeds both the dispenser and the ice maker. Test each solenoid for continuity; one failed coil stops one outlet while the other works. Shop valves here.
Evaporator Fan Motor
When the 690 evaporator fan motor fails, that compartment warms while the compressor runs. No fan sound during cooling confirms the failure. Replace the fan motor for the warm side.
Door Gasket
The 690 door gasket on the dispenser door works around the dispenser housing and wears at the lower corners first. Run the paper-drag test and replace the gasket where it fails.

Sub Zero 690 FAQ
Why is my 690 not making ice?
Check the water supply, filter, and freezer temperature, then test the inlet valve coils. Replace the ice maker only if water reaches it and it still will not cycle.
Why does water dispense but no ice is made?
The water path is working, so focus on the ice maker and freezer temperature rather than the inlet valve.
Why is one side not cooling evenly?
Check that side’s evaporator fan, defrost system, and door gasket. A problem on only one side is rarely a compressor failure.
How is the 690 different from the 642?
Both are 600 series side-by-sides, but the 690 adds through-the-door ice and water dispensing, which brings its own valves and controls, so many 690 parts differ.
