This family in three sentences
unlabelled-stem is an Avanti refrigerator model group covering the four codes in the table here. These codes share no common stem, which is why the group has no letter label. What goes wrong falls into a few classes, led by ice production and leaks, and this page routes each one.
What goes wrong, and which page deals with it
- Ice production — covered by Avanti Refrigerator (Unlabelled Model Group): 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 Refrigerator (Unlabelled Model Group): Water Leak — Water under the drawers, on the floor at the front, or a sheet of ice on the freezer floor.
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti Refrigerator (Unlabelled Model Group): 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.
- Noise and vibration — covered by Avanti Refrigerator (Unlabelled Model Group): Noise and Vibration — A new noise, or an old one that has got worse.
What comes up most on this model group
- Ice production — First among the classes that apply, on the models of this group fitted with an ice maker.
- Water and leaks — Here because it is slower to appear than the class above it.
- Cooling and temperature — In the middle: common, but its cheapest checks overlap with the class above.
- Noise and vibration — It closes the list: reported least, and least often a failed part.

Where the owner fix stops
Owner work on this family stops at the panel. Level, clearance, door seals, the defrost drain and how the cabinet is packed are all reachable and between them explain most complaints; anything needing a meter is not.
