What the PR family is
Abnormal Noise or Vibration is what brings most PR refrigerators in, with water leak behind it. The spine for the PR family records 7 model codes built on a common stem — a short run rather than a long one, which is why a single ordering covers all of them. Each class routes to its own page rather than being diagnosed here.
Problems on these models, and where each is covered
- Abnormal Noise or Vibration — It is common. See its page. — Link: absocold-absocold-refrigerator-pr-refrigerator-abnormal-noise-2
- Water Leak — It has less margin. See its page. — Link: absocold-absocold-refrigerator-pr-refrigerator-water-leak-2
- Not Cooling or Not Freezing — It matters more than almost anything else. See its page. — Link: absocold-absocold-refrigerator-pr-refrigerator-cooling-failure-2
- Ice Maker Fault — Because tray ice sits at the same temperature as the compartment around it. See its page. — Link: absocold-absocold-refrigerator-pr-refrigerator-ice-production-2
The problem classes in order on this family
- Abnormal Noise or Vibration — First on this family.
- Water Leak — Second.
- Not Cooling or Not Freezing — Third.
- Ice Maker Fault — Fourth.
- Body: No denominator backs this ordering: the PR fact bundle carries no component shares. Absocold builds compact cabinets for rooms that are not kitchens — dormitories, patient rooms, hotel suites, staff areas — so the install is almost always a recess or a cupboard somebody else built, and the ranking below puts what the enclosure does to the cabinet above what the cabinet does to itself.

Before you open anything
Safety
Nothing comes off this cabinet until it is unplugged or its breaker is off — the capacitor holds a charge past the switch and the fan has no warning before it starts. The sealed side is licensed work, not owner work.
Which of these are owner-fixable on these models
On the PR models the owner half of each problem is the part done from outside the cabinet. The service half starts at the first panel screw, and at anything that needs a meter on live terminals.
