The short answer
The MK line is one of the Alpicool refrigerator families, and this page routes it. The MK line covers three models, listed in the table below, and they share a platform.
The problem classes, and the page for each
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — The compressor runs and the cabinet never comes down. See: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-mk-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — A puddle at the door line, or standing water in the channel. See: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-mk-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Ice that is not being made — An empty bin, or cubes that never complete. See: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-mk-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- A new noise or a vibration — A knock at each start, or a rattle within a run. See: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-mk-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Alpicool MK Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
How the classes rank here
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — Leading class here: the class that brings most units of this line in.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Second: usually a consequence of frost, a seal or a tilt.
- Ice that is not being made — Third: an empty bin is often a setting rather than a fault.
- A new noise or a vibration — Fourth: a light cabinet is moved by its own compressor.

Before you open anything
Safety
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before removing any panel: a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Never open pipework or work on the sealed system.
When to call a technician
Clearance, the door seal, the setpoint and the socket are owner checks. The same rule holds for every class above: what is reachable without a panel is owner work, and what is behind one is not.
