Alpicool NL is one family of refrigerators, and the models it spans are listed below. The NL line covers six models, listed in the table below, and they share a platform. Complaints cluster into a few classes, each with a page of its own.
What goes wrong on this line, and where to go next
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — A puddle at the door line, or standing water in the channel. See: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nl-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Ice that is not being made — An empty bin, or cubes that never complete. See: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nl-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- A new noise or a vibration — A knock at each start, or a rattle within a run. See: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nl-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — The compressor runs and the cabinet never comes down. See: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nl-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Alpicool NL Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
The classes, most frequent first
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Leading class here: its two commonest causes are both owner work.
- Ice that is not being made — Second: the first capability lost, and the lowest temperature required.
- A new noise or a vibration — Third: noise follows moves and reloads rather than wear.
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — Fourth: a boxed-in condenser produces it long before a compressor does.

Before any panel comes off
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.
Where owner work ends on this line
Clearing the drain and checking the gasket are owner work. The same rule holds for every class above: what is reachable without a panel is owner work, and what is behind one is not.
