What this family is
The TAW refrigerator family covers three listings, TAW35 through TAW55, and the table below is the whole of what the spine records about them. What dominates on this platform is leaks and water on the floor, with cooling and temperature faults behind it.
What goes wrong on these models
- Leaks and water on the floor — the outside of the cabinet is beaded with moisture — See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Water Leak.
- Cooling and temperature faults — it cools on mains power but not from the vehicle socket — See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing.
- Ice-making faults — ice forms as a thin skin and then stops — See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault.
- Noise and vibration — a loud run that settles down after a while — See: Alpicool TAW Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration.
Problem classes in frequency order
- 1. Leaks and water on the floor — On these models the class is led by condensation from warm, humid air. Seals rank high on TAW because the opening grows with each step of the roster while the gasket section stays the same, which puts the longest seal under the most work.
- 2. Cooling and temperature faults — Led here by a lid that no longer clamps.
- 3. Ice-making faults — The usual answer in this class is the set point and the operating mode.
- 4. Noise and vibration — On this platform it is things moving inside the cabinet, more often than anything else.

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 cut into the sealed refrigerant circuit, and never chip ice off the plate with a blade, because the tubing behind it is thin-walled.
Owner work and technician work
Of the classes above, leaks and water on the floor and noise and vibration are what an owner can work on: seals, filters, clearances and settings, with nothing dismantled. The line is crossed as soon as a check needs a meter on live terminals, the sealed system opened, or the cabinet emptied and moved, and it is the same line on every listing in the table.
