What this family is
This page profiles the AWCA family and routes: what the model list covers, and which problems are worth knowing about before one of them happens. It is a short list of closely related models. On a family like this the two that come up most are noise or vibration and ice maker not producing, or producing badly.
The problems that come up on these models
- Noise or vibration — A vibration felt through the floor, or a noise that changes when the cabinet is leaned on. Covered on: Arctic King AWCA Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-awca-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Arctic King AWCA 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 AWCA Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-awca-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Arctic King AWCA Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- Not cooling, or not holding temperature — Temperatures drift up over days rather than failing outright, and the machine runs almost continuously to keep up. Covered on: Arctic King AWCA Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-awca-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Arctic King AWCA Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Water that appears only in humid weather, or only while the ice maker fills. Covered on: Arctic King AWCA Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-awca-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Arctic King AWCA Refrigerator: Water Leak
Problem classes in frequency order on this family
- 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. Not cooling, or not holding temperature — Airflow and defrost faults dominate this class on these cabinets, and the sealed system is the least common explanation.
- 4. Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Where the water appears decides the cause faster than any component test.

Where owner work stops on this family
Judge by the tool. Nothing on this page needs more than a torch, a thermometer and a vacuum on the owner side; everything past that needs a meter and the machine opened.
