The short answer
Alpicool QX is one family of refrigerators, and the models it spans are listed below. The QX line covers three models, listed in the table below, and they share a platform. Complaints cluster into a few classes, each with a page of its own.
The problem classes, and the page for each
- Ice that is not being made — An empty bin, or cubes that never complete. See: Alpicool QX Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-qx-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Alpicool QX Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- A new noise or a vibration — A knock at each start, or a rattle within a run. See: Alpicool QX Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-qx-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Alpicool QX 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 QX Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-qx-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Alpicool QX Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — The compressor runs and the cabinet never comes down. See: Alpicool QX Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-qx-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Alpicool QX Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
How the classes rank here
- Ice that is not being made — Leading class here: the first capability lost, and the lowest temperature required.
- 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.
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — Fourth: the class that brings most units of this line in.

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
Setting, load, clearance and defrosting 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.
