What this line is
Alpicool TAW is one family of refrigerators, and the models it spans are listed below. The TAW line covers three models, listed in the table below, and they share a platform.
What owners of this line report
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — The compressor runs and the cabinet never comes down. See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-taw-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Alpicool TAW 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 TAW Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-taw-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Ice that is not being made — An empty bin, or cubes that never complete. See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-taw-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — A puddle at the door line, or standing water in the channel. See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-taw-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Water Leak
Problem classes in order on this line
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — Leading class here: owners act on a warm cabinet fastest, whatever is behind it.
- A new noise or a vibration — Second: most of these resolve without a part at all.
- Ice that is not being made — Third: the first capability lost, and the lowest temperature required.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Fourth: usually a consequence of frost, a seal or a tilt.

Safety first
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.
The line between a fix and a call
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.
