The Antarctic Star BC refrigerator line spans the models listed in the table below; nothing outside that list is claimed here. A new noise or vibration dominates the complaints on this line, ahead of not cooling or not freezing.
What goes wrong on these, and where each one is covered
- A new noise or vibration — A rhythmic noise tied to one part of the cycle, which is what separates a fault from an ordinary running sound.
- Not cooling or not freezing — Cooling has fallen off with no change in noise — the machine sounds exactly as it always did.
- Ice maker producing nothing — The maker cycles audibly and no water follows it, which places the fault before the tray rather than in it.
Problem classes in order
- A new noise or vibration — The entry point for this line.
- Not cooling or not freezing — Next after it.
- Ice maker producing nothing — Third on this line.
- 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 not cooling or not freezing moves down, because of how this line is built. A frequency without a denominator is not a claim, so no rate is stated anywhere on this page.
Models in the BC 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.
General guidance| Problem class | Rank on this line | Component share |
|---|---|---|
| A new noise or vibration | first | not recorded |
| Not cooling or not freezing | second | not recorded |
| Ice maker producing nothing | third | not recorded |
The line between a fix and a call
Whichever of these models you have, the same rule applies: the checks that need nothing removed are yours to make, and anything behind a panel or on a sealed part is a technician job. Read the build off the rating plate before ordering parts: access is shared across this line, part numbers are not.
