The WC family in short
Three model numbers in the table below carry the WC prefix, and this page covers the family as a whole. Rather than diagnose anything itself it sorts the recurring faults into classes, says which is most frequent on this family, and links to the page that works each one through in order.
What breaks here, and where each fault is diagnosed
- Abnormal noise or vibration — Covered by the WC page for this class, in the routing list below.
- Not cooling or not freezing — Diagnosed on the WC page for this fault, which this profile links to below.
- Ice maker fault — Diagnosed on the WC page for this fault, which this profile links to below.
- Water leak — Read the WC page for this one; it is linked below with the rest.
The fault classes in order of how often they come up
- A cabinet that is not level or is resting on cabinetry — First, because these are light machines with adjustable feet and they are almost always installed in a hurry into a tight space.
- A stalled defrost cycle icing the evaporator — Ranked here because adaptive defrost stalls quietly long before it fails outright: the ice sheet grows over weeks and the owner notices warmth, never frost.
- A closed, kinked or frozen water supply — It leads because the machine cannot make ice out of nothing, and the whole supply chain is checkable without tools.
- A blocked defrost drain — First and by a wide margin: the drain hole is small, it sits in a cold damp place, and it silts up with food debris and then freezes.

When this stops being an owner job
The owner-fixable share on this family is large, and each page below marks its own line. As a rule the accessible half is cleaning, loading, levelling, filters and hoses; the other half sits behind a panel with mains and water together, and that is where a technician takes over.
