The NLS family in short
NLS spans three entries on an even ladder, so a fault on one is worth expecting on all three. Owners of these models meet ice that stops arriving first, with a cabinet that stops holding temperature behind it. Both are covered in full below.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each is covered
- Ice Maker Fault — Shows as the arm sits higher than it used to. Covered on Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nls-refrigerator-ice-production-2 — Title: Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- Not Cooling or Not Freezing — What owners report: condensation inside the door. Diagnosed on Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nls-refrigerator-cooling-failure-2 — Title: Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- Abnormal Noise or Vibration — Recognise it by a noise that changes when the door is opened. Go to Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nls-refrigerator-abnormal-noise-2 — Title: Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Water Leak — On these models: clean cold water at the back of the unit. The checks are on Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-nls-refrigerator-water-leak-2 — Title: Alpicool NLS Refrigerator: Water Leak
Problem classes in frequency order on this family
- Ice Maker Fault — It is the first thing to rule out on these models. The NLS entries usually answer this with a kinked or blocked supply line.
- Not Cooling or Not Freezing — It follows the lead on these models. Usual first answer on NLS: a dust-packed condenser.
- Abnormal Noise or Vibration — It comes after the two above it. On NLS this normally turns out to be contact between the condenser fan blade and its shroud.
- Water Leak — Lower again on these models. The NLS entries usually answer this with condensation on the cabinet exterior.
- 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 NLS 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.
