What this family is
The TWW refrigerator family covers six listings, TWW35 through TWW115, and the table below is the whole of what the spine records about them. What dominates on this platform is cooling and temperature faults, with leaks and water on the floor behind it.
What goes wrong on these models
- Cooling and temperature faults — the compressor starts, runs a short while, then stops and starts again — See: Alpicool TWW Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing.
- Leaks and water on the floor — water runs from the lid line when the lid is opened — See: Alpicool TWW Refrigerator: Water Leak.
- Noise and vibration — a buzz or hum that changes when the unit is nudged — See: Alpicool TWW Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration.
- Ice-making faults — frost coats the plate but the contents stay soft — See: Alpicool TWW Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault.
Problem classes in frequency order
- 1. Cooling and temperature faults — On this platform it is the DC supply and its protection setting, more often than anything else. The TWW ladder runs from TWW35 to TWW115, and the draw at the top of it is what exposes a marginal supply first.
- 2. Leaks and water on the floor — On these models the class is led by defrost water and the cabinet drain.
- 3. Noise and vibration — Led here by the surface underneath it.
- 4. Ice-making faults — The usual answer in this class is the set point and the operating mode.

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.
