What this family is
Here is what the ARU family is. Several model stems sit under this family label. The problems below are listed in the order they tend to come up on these cabinets, each with the page that covers it properly. On a family like this the two that come up most are noise or vibration and ice maker not producing, or producing badly.
Problem classes, and the page for each
- Noise or vibration — Gurgling and cracking that are normal, against squealing or grinding that is not. Covered on: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-aru-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- Ice maker not producing, or producing badly — A buzz from the ice compartment with nothing produced, or a mould that stays dry. Covered on: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-aru-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Beads on the inner walls, damp at the door frame, or a stain on the floor behind the machine. Covered on: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-aru-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Not cooling, or not holding temperature — The cabinet is warm while the compressor is plainly running, or one compartment holds and the other does not. Covered on: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-aru-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Arctic King ARU Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
Ranked by how often they come up here
- 1. Noise or vibration — Levelling and cabinet contact lead this class on these cabinets; bearings are well behind them.
- 2. Ice maker not producing, or producing badly — On a plumbed cabinet the supply side outranks everything inside the machine for this class.
- 3. Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Where the water appears decides the cause faster than any component test.
- 4. Not cooling, or not holding temperature — The usual order here is door and loading first, then air distribution, then the mechanical causes.

Where owner work stops on this family
On the ARU family the owner-fixable share is larger than most people expect, and it is bounded by the panel: seals, loading, levelling, drain clearing, condenser cleaning and the water supply are all owner work. What needs the evaporator cover off, a meter, or refrigerant is not.
