What the FC group is
What FC covers is the three model numbers in the table, and what this page does is route. Every code opens with the same stem and differs only after it. Find the class that matches what your cabinet is doing and follow it; noise and vibration and leaks account for most of it.
What goes wrong, and which page deals with it
- Noise and vibration — covered by Avanti FC Refrigerator: Noise and Vibration — The machine has become loud, or vibration is reaching the floor.
- Water and leaks — covered by Avanti FC Refrigerator: Water Leak — Damp inside the cabinet or a puddle in front of it.
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti FC Refrigerator: Not Cooling — A machine that is plainly running and plainly warm. On this group the useful first split is between cold that is not being made and cold that is being lost through the door.
- Ice production — covered by Avanti FC 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.
Which faults dominate this family
- Noise and vibration — It leads because most of it is installation rather than a failed part.
- Water and leaks — Mid-list, and the class where the fault and the symptom are furthest apart in time.
- Cooling and temperature — In the middle: common, but its cheapest checks overlap with the class above.
- Ice production — Last, and only on the models in the table fitted with an ice maker at all.

When this stops being owner work
Take the visible half yourself and hand over the rest. On these models the visible half is genuinely most of it, and a technician confirms what remains in one visit because the cabinet is small enough to work on quickly.
