What this page covers
The OR group is the four Avanti refrigerator model numbers in the table below. Every code opens with the same stem and differs only after it. The complaints that dominate here are leaks and cooling complaints, and each has its own article.
Each problem class and its article
- Water and leaks — covered by Avanti OR Refrigerator: Water Leak — Damp inside the cabinet or a puddle in front of it.
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti OR Refrigerator: Not Cooling — The cabinet runs but the food is not cold, or the freezer section has gone soft while the fridge section is fine.
- Ice production — covered by Avanti OR 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.
- Noise and vibration — covered by Avanti OR Refrigerator: Noise and Vibration — A new noise, or an old one that has got worse.
What comes up most on this model group
- Water and leaks — It leads because the fault builds for weeks before anything is visible.
- Cooling and temperature — Here because the class above it is quicker to exclude, not because it is rarer.
- Ice production — Mid-list, and conditional — only the models fitted with an ice maker can produce it.
- Noise and vibration — It closes the list: reported least, and least often a failed part.

When to call a technician
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.
