The short answer
The NLD line covers the models in the table below. The NLD line covers three models, listed in the table below, and they share a platform. Start here if you know your line but not your fault; each class links down to its own page.
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 NLD Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nld-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- A new noise or a vibration — A knock at each start, or a rattle within a run. See: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nld-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — A puddle at the door line, or standing water in the channel. See: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nld-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Ice that is not being made — An empty bin, or cubes that never complete. See: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nld-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Alpicool NLD Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
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.
- A new noise or a vibration — Second: noise follows moves and reloads rather than wear.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Third: its two commonest causes are both owner work.
- Ice that is not being made — Fourth: the first capability lost, and the lowest temperature required.

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.
