This model line in one paragraph
the HS family covers the model numbers in the table on this page, and nothing else. It is one of the longer model lists in this brand’s range. On a family like this the two that come up most are water inside the cabinet or on the floor and ice maker not producing, or producing badly.
The problems that come up on these models
- 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 HS Refrigerator: Water Leak. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-water-leak — Title: Arctic King HS Refrigerator: Water Leak
- Ice maker not producing, or producing badly — Production that is merely slow, or a maker that works for a few cycles and then stops. Covered on: Arctic King HS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-ice-production — Title: Arctic King HS Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault
- Noise or vibration — A rhythmic tick from inside the freezer section, a buzz from the back, or a hum that has grown over months. Covered on: Arctic King HS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-abnormal-noise — Title: Arctic King HS Refrigerator: Abnormal Noise or Vibration
- 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 HS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing. — Slug: arctic-king-arctic-king-refrigerator-hs-refrigerator-cooling-failure — Title: Arctic King HS Refrigerator: Not Cooling or Not Freezing
Problem classes in frequency order on this family
- 1. Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Condensation and drainage account for nearly all of this class on cabinets of this build.
- 2. Ice maker not producing, or producing badly — Water supply and compartment temperature explain most of this class; the module itself is the part most often replaced unnecessarily.
- 3. Noise or vibration — Normal operating sounds make up a real share of this class, so identifying a non-fault is a legitimate outcome.
- 4. Not cooling, or not holding temperature — The usual order here is door and loading first, then air distribution, then the mechanical causes.

Where faults land on this family — Ordering only: no sampled denominator backs it, so no share figure is given.
General guidance| Problem class | Relative frequency |
|---|---|
| Water inside the cabinet or on the floor | most common |
| Ice maker not producing, or producing badly | common |
| Noise or vibration | less common |
| Not cooling, or not holding temperature | least common |
Which of these an owner can fix
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.
