What the AVAR group is
The four codes listed here are the AVAR group. Every code opens with the same stem and differs only after it. This page names what goes wrong on a cabinet of this kind and where each fault is dealt with, starting with cooling complaints and noise and vibration.
Faults on this family and where to read about them
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti AVAR Refrigerator: Not Cooling — The cabinet has warmed up without going quiet. On these models that separates a heat-rejection fault from a power fault straight away, and the cooling article takes it from there.
- Noise and vibration — covered by Avanti AVAR Refrigerator: Noise and Vibration — A buzz, a rattle or a tick that was not there before.
- Ice production — covered by Avanti AVAR Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault — No ice at all, or far less than there was. The first question is whether the cabinet is fitted with an ice maker, because that varies across a model group.
- Water and leaks — covered by Avanti AVAR Refrigerator: Water Leak — Damp inside the cabinet or a puddle in front of it.
Problem classes in frequency order on AVAR
- Cooling and temperature — First here: heat rejection has the least margin on a compact cabinet.
- Noise and vibration — Mid-list: loud enough to be reported early, cheap enough to be fixed late.
- Ice production — Here, and only for the cabinets in this group that have a mould at all.
- Water and leaks — It closes the list because most of its causes are secondary to another fault.

The line between a fix and a service call
The split on AVAR models is between conditions and parts. Conditions — clearance, level, packing, seals, a drain that has silted up — are owner work and cover most complaints.
