The short answer
The models this page covers are the ones in the table below and no others. What brings owners of these here first is not cooling or not freezing, then a new noise or vibration.
What goes wrong on these, and where each one is covered
- Not cooling or not freezing — The unit runs without ever reaching temperature; ice cream softens before anything else gives the fault away.
- A new noise or vibration — The unit has become audible from the next room, usually with no change in how well it cools.
- Ice maker producing nothing — Production has stopped outright, or a single fused slab has replaced the loose cubes in the bin.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Water appears inside the cabinet with a dry floor, or on the floor with a dry interior — the two are different faults.
Problem classes in order
- Not cooling or not freezing — Rank 1 on these models.
- A new noise or vibration — Rank 2 on these models.
- Ice maker producing nothing — Rank 3 on these models.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Rank 4 on these models.
- Body: No snapshot here carries a rate for this line, so this list gives an order and withholds the share. Against the brand's general picture, a new noise or vibration moves up and ice maker producing nothing moves down, because of how this line is built.
Models in the A family — Every model this page covers, exactly as the model line is recorded. Nothing outside this table is a model number, and nothing on this page claims to cover a model that is not in it.

Rank without a share — No denominator: no snapshot carries a component share for this model line, so the table gives an ordering and withholds the share.

When to call a technician
The line between an owner fix and a call is the first panel. Everything reachable without removing one is the same on every model listed above; everything behind one is a technician job on all of them. Read the build off the rating plate before ordering parts: access is shared across this line, part numbers are not.
