What the FFBM group is
What FFBM covers is the nine 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; ice production and noise and vibration account for most of it.
Each problem class and its article
- Ice production — covered by Avanti FFBM 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.
- Noise and vibration — covered by Avanti FFBM Refrigerator: Noise and Vibration — A new noise, or an old one that has got worse.
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti FFBM 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.
- Water and leaks — covered by Avanti FFBM Refrigerator: Water Leak — Water under the drawers, on the floor at the front, or a sheet of ice on the freezer floor.
Which faults dominate this family
- Ice production — First among the classes that apply, on the models of this group fitted with an ice maker.
- Noise and vibration — Mid-list: loud enough to be reported early, cheap enough to be fixed late.
- Cooling and temperature — Here because the class above it is quicker to exclude, not because it is rarer.
- Water and leaks — Last of the four, and the one an owner fix holds on most reliably.

When this stops being owner work
On this family the owner-fixable half is larger than it looks: levelling, clearance, door seals, a blocked defrost drain and how the cabinet is packed together account for a great deal of what gets called in, and none of them needs a tool more specialised than a screwdriver. The line is the panel.
