What the RM group is
The RM group is the thirty-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 ice production and noise and vibration, and each has its own article.
What goes wrong, and which page deals with it
- Ice production — covered by Avanti RM Refrigerator: Ice Maker Fault — The ice maker has stopped or slowed. Not every code under this stem carries one, so the first check is whether your cabinet has a mould and an arm.
- Noise and vibration — covered by Avanti RM Refrigerator: Noise and Vibration — The machine has become loud, or vibration is reaching the floor.
- Water and leaks — covered by Avanti RM 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.
- Cooling and temperature — covered by Avanti RM 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.
Problem classes in frequency order on RM
- Ice production — First here: production stops long before anything else looks wrong.
- Noise and vibration — Here because it is reported quickly, not because it is the most frequent.
- Water and leaks — Here because it is slower to appear than the class above it.
- Cooling and temperature — Last of the classes named, and the least reported on a group this size.

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.
