The short answer
If your rating plate begins BCRDK, this is the profile for your Black+Decker refrigerator. The models it covers are grouped by that prefix and by how they are built rather than by what they are rated at; abnormal noise and cooling failure are the classes it routes first.
The problems that show up on these models
- Ice production — an ice maker that has stopped or slowed — No ice, very little ice, or cubes coming out small and hollow. Covered under When the Ice Maker Stops.
- Cooling failure — a cabinet that will not get cold — Warm shelves with the unit plainly running. Covered under Not Cooling While It Keeps Running.
- Water leak — water where it should not be — Pooling inside or a puddle outside. Covered under Water Under the Drawer or on the Floor.
- Abnormal noise — a noise that is new or getting worse — A new buzz, rattle, squeal or click. Covered under Tracking Down the Noise.
The problem classes, in the order this profile routes them
- Abnormal noise — a noise that is new or getting worse — It opens the list: the quickest thing to confirm and the one most often responsible on these models.
- Cooling failure — a cabinet that will not get cold — Next, since whatever you opened or moved for the class above already puts this within reach.
- Ice production — an ice maker that has stopped or slowed — In the middle: not the first thing to suspect, but not something to leave until last either.
- Water leak — water where it should not be — Towards the end: it asks more of whoever is checking than anything above it.
Which models this profile covers — The rating plate inside the door frame carries the model number this key groups; read it before ordering any part.

What is owner work on these models, and what is not
The owner side of a BCRDK unit is seals, vents, the condenser coil, a full defrost, the filter and the ice-maker arm, and all of it is done with the appliance switched off at the plug or the breaker. Anything past that — the freezer rear panel and anything holding refrigerant — is where you call rather than continue.
