The CX family in short
CX spans three entries on an even ladder, so a fault on one is worth expecting on all three. Owners of these models meet a noise that was not there before first, with water where it should not be behind it. Both are covered in full below.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each is covered
- Abnormal Noise or Vibration — Recognise it by a knock or a thump when the unit starts. Go to Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-cx-refrigerator-abnormal-noise-2 — Title: Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Water Leak — On these models: damp at one corner only. The checks are on Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-cx-refrigerator-water-leak-2 — Title: Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Not Cooling or Not Freezing — Shows as the display looks normal and nothing runs. Covered on Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-cx-refrigerator-cooling-failure-2 — Title: Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- Ice Maker Fault — What owners report: cubes taste stale or smell of the cabinet. Diagnosed on Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-cx-refrigerator-ice-production-2 — Title: Alpicool CX Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
Problem classes in frequency order on this family
- Abnormal Noise or Vibration — It is where this family starts. The CX entries usually answer this with debris drawn onto the condenser or its fan.
- Water Leak — Second on this family. Usual first answer on CX: a blocked defrost drain.
- Not Cooling or Not Freezing — Third. On CX this normally turns out to be a defrost cycle that has stopped running.
- Ice Maker Fault — Fourth on this family. The CX entries usually answer this with a water filter past its service point.
- Body: No snapshot carries a sampled frequency here, so this is a technician's ordering and not a measured one; nothing is stated as a proportion. This page's model table is why this is not simply the brand order.

What is owner work on these models
On CX the first two or three checks on each page below are owner work and the rest is not. Anything on the sealed side is a service call, whatever it looked like from the front.
