What this family is
The BUC key groups Black+Decker refrigerators documented together and nothing more certain than that. The faults covered for these models are a cabinet that will not get cold, an unusual noise, ice trouble and water where it should not be.
What goes wrong on this family
- Ice trouble — Ice arrives late, arrives hollow, or stops arriving at all.
- Water where it should not be — Water where it should not be: under the crisper, below the door, or on the floor behind.
- A cabinet that will not get cold — Start at the two boundaries rather than in the middle: the door that is meant to keep warmth out, and the coil that is meant to let heat go.
- An unusual noise — Press a hand on the cabinet and see whether the sound stops.
The order these are set out in
- A cabinet that will not get cold — Leads because the cost of leaving it is measured in food. The order is an argument, not a counted share.
- An unusual noise — High because most of it is levelling and clearance rather than failure.
- Ice trouble — Here because ice is the first thing a marginal cabinet gives up.
- Water where it should not be — Here because the damage lands on the floor, not the appliance.

Where the owner job ends on these models
The fault pages below each say where the owner half ends. Whatever you do, unplug first: a capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off.
