EF42NBSS
Dacor EF42NBSS Built-In Refrigerator Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Airflow around the cabinet opening
- Temperature control
- Door seal
- Fans and condenser dust
The EF42NBSS is a 42-inch built-in refrigerator from the Epicure line. It is electric, and other Epicure built-ins in 42 and 48 inches share much of its design. We repair these older Epicure refrigerators, and we are clear about it when a repair is not worth the cost.
A built-in lives in a cabinet opening, and the opening affects how it performs. When a unit like this runs warm, we first look at the clearance and airflow, then clean the condenser area and check the fans. We also test the door seal and the temperature control, since a drifting thermostat or worn gasket can mimic a cooling failure.
The model number on your label tells us the exact version and finish, which helps us avoid ordering a part that is close but wrong. Older parts are checked for availability before the repair starts. The price is written down for you to approve, and a 30-day workmanship warranty stands behind the work.

Why does a built-in refrigerator need clearance?
It releases heat that must move away from the cabinet. If the opening is tight or the vents are blocked, the unit runs warm and works harder. We check the clearance during the visit.
Is the EF42NBSS the same as the EF48 model?
They belong to the same Epicure family, but the width differs, and so can some parts. We read the number on the label to confirm.
Could a worn gasket make the refrigerator run warm?
Yes. A gasket that no longer seals lets warm air in, and the unit works harder. We inspect and replace it where parts are available.
