The short answer
Alpicool XS is one family of refrigerators, and the models it spans are listed below. The XS 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
- A new noise or a vibration — A knock at each start, or a rattle within a run. See: Alpicool XS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-xs-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Alpicool XS 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 XS Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-xs-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Alpicool XS Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Ice that is not being made — An empty bin, or cubes that never complete. See: Alpicool XS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-xs-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Alpicool XS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- Runs but will not get or stay cold — The compressor runs and the cabinet never comes down. See: Alpicool XS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: alpicool-alpicool-refrigerator-xs-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Alpicool XS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
How the classes rank here
- A new noise or a vibration — Leading class here: a light cabinet is moved by its own compressor.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Second: usually a consequence of frost, a seal or a tilt.
- Ice that is not being made — Third: an empty bin is often a setting rather than a fault.
- 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
Stance, contents, clearance and panels 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.
