Fisher & Paykel refrigerator code table

Scan by code, meaning, and severity, then open the exact detail page when you need step-by-step guidance.

F2
The refrigerator's defrost system has failed or previous automatic defrost cycles were aborted. Without successful defrosting, frost builds up on the evaporator coils, eventually blocking airflow and causing the fridge to lose cooling ability.
high severity
F15
The fan that circulates air through the refrigerator compartment has reported a fault. Without this fan, cold air cannot be distributed through the fridge and temperatures will rise.
high severity
F17
The freezer compartment fan has malfunctioned. This fan circulates cold air from the evaporator through the freezer. Without it, the freezer temperature will rise and frozen food will begin to thaw.
high severity
F20
The flapper heater — a small heater that prevents the air damper (flapper) between compartments from freezing shut — has been detected as defective. A frozen flapper prevents temperature regulation between compartments.
medium severity
F24
The ice maker's temperature sensor has failed or reported an out-of-range reading. The ice maker may stop producing ice or behave erratically.
medium severity
F30
The display module (control panel) has reported a fault. This may be an intermittent electronics issue or a hardware failure of the display board.
low severity
Fault 1
The main control module failed its self-test during startup. This indicates a control board fault that prevents the refrigerator from running its normal operating sequence.
high severity
Fault 2
The automatic defrost system has failed — previous defrost cycles were aborted after 40 minutes without completing. Frost has likely accumulated on the evaporator, and the refrigerator's cooling performance will decline as the frost thickens.
high severity
