What this family is
This profile covers the Black+Decker refrigerators the HE key names on the rating plate. What is documented here is 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
- 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 — The cabinet runs but never reaches its setting, and the food warms while it does.
- An unusual noise — Most of it is the cabinet reacting to the floor and to what is stacked on it, so level it and clear the top before listening seriously.
- Ice trouble — A dry mould and a wet one lead to entirely different halves of the problem, and telling them apart takes ten seconds with the bin out.
The problem classes in order
- A cabinet that will not get cold — First because it is the one fault here that spoils food while you decide. The order is an argument, not a counted share.
- An unusual noise — High because it is reported often and repaired rarely.
- Ice trouble — Here because ice is the first thing a marginal cabinet gives up.
- Water where it should not be — Here because almost all of it is water the cabinet made itself.
