What the BR family is
The BR family covers line of 33 models, named individually in the table below. The table resolves to seven distinct model stems, with the remaining differences carried in a trailing code.
What goes wrong, and where it is covered
- The cabinet runs but does not get cold — The compressor is clearly working and the food is still warm, often with the outside of the cabinet hot to the touch. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-refrigerator-br-refrigerator-cooling-failure
- Ice production has stopped or slowed — An empty bin, or cubes that come out small and hollow. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-refrigerator-br-refrigerator-ice-production
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Water where there should be none - inside the cabinet, or on the floor at the front or the back. — Slug: black-decker-black-decker-refrigerator-br-refrigerator-water-leak
Problem classes in frequency order
- The cabinet runs but does not get cold — First here: a compact cabinet has almost no margin at the condenser.
- Ice production has stopped or slowed — Ranked second. Every one of these cabinets makes condensate whenever it runs, and the path that water takes out is short, narrow and easy to block.
- Water inside the cabinet or on the floor — Third, and almost always the installation rather than a part.

When to call
On these models the owner-fixable line sits at the rear panel. Levelling the cabinet, clearing the condenser grille, testing the door seal, clearing the condensate drain and checking the supply to an ice maker are all yours and need no tool.
