This family in three sentences
An AVFF is one Avanti refrigerator model group, and the table here is the whole of what is known about it: twelve codes. Every code opens with the same stem and differs only after it. The classes below are led by leaks and ice production, each covered on its own page.
What goes wrong, and which page deals with it
- Water and leaks — covered by Avanti AVFF Refrigerator: Water Leak — Water where it should not be — inside under the drawers, on the floor at the front, or as ice on the freezer floor.
- Ice production — covered by Avanti AVFF Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault — The ice maker has stopped, slowed, or is turning out hollow cubes — on the models of this group that have one.
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti AVFF 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 AVFF Refrigerator: Noise and Vibration — A new noise, or an old one that has got worse.
Which faults dominate this family
- Water and leaks — First on AVFF, and the class that does the most damage while it waits.
- Ice production — Here, and only for the cabinets in this group that have a mould at all.
- Cooling and temperature — In the middle: common, but its cheapest checks overlap with the class above.
- Noise and vibration — Last of the four on this family, and the cheapest of them to put right.

When this stops being owner work
The useful rule here is that conditions are yours and parts are not. Every cause on this page that is a condition — where the cabinet stands, how it is loaded, whether the door shuts — can be settled without a tool.
