The short answer
Aicook HS is a refrigerator line identified by the model numbers in the table below, and that list is all this page treats as established. The problems worth working through first on a cabinet of this type are runs but will not get cold and a new noise or vibration, and each has its own page beneath this one.
The problems that turn up on this line, and where each one is covered
- Runs but will not get cold — The compressor runs, the cabinet stays warm, and the freezer wall frosts into a sheet rather than a dusting. See Aicook HS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: aicook-aicook-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Aicook HS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- Ice maker has stopped — A dry mould means no water is arriving; a wet one that never ejects means temperature or mechanism. See Aicook HS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: aicook-aicook-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Aicook HS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- A new noise or vibration — A noise that stops when the freezer door opens is the evaporator fan; floor-level noise is the machine compartment. See Aicook HS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: aicook-aicook-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Aicook HS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
Which of these to work through first
- Runs but will not get cold — Ranked here because it is the fault that costs food, and it worsens everything else while it runs.
- A new noise or vibration — Ranked here because the moving parts are few and reachable, so the cause is named before anything is replaced.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Ranked here because the cabinet makes water by design and the drain is the only path built to carry it.
- Ice maker has stopped — Ranked here because ice makers fail for reasons outside themselves: water arriving, and a compartment cold enough.

Fault profile for this family — No denominator: this family has no recorded component shares, so the ordering is qualitative and stated as a position, never as a rate.
General guidance| Problem class | Position in the ordering above | Measured share |
|---|---|---|
| Runs but will not get cold | leading concern | no measured share available |
| A new noise or vibration | second | no measured share available |
| Water inside the cabinet or on the floor | third | no measured share available |
| Ice maker has stopped | fourth | no measured share available |
Before any panel comes off
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch its breaker off before removing a panel — a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off, and a condenser fan can restart without warning. Sealed-system work is licensed work.
Which of these are owner jobs on this line
Owner-side on every model listed: door seal, condenser coil, defrost drain, ice-maker arm, cabinet level. Not owner-side: anything behind the evaporator cover, on live terminals, or inside the sealed system.
