We’ve had a E522 for about five years and it’s done us proud, we love it. We recently got a new kitchen so replaced it with the same machine bit in silver.
Here we are 6 weeks later and the fan has started sounding like a drill hitting a brick wall, but to be fair it was continuing to regrigerate/freeze, so we thought it might hold out for us.
Last night, opened the fridge and got 15 beeps with the Red Light Of Death on the display at the back.
I then opened it a few minutes later and got 5 beeps?
Any ideas what causes it? It’s a warranty job obviously, but I’m a little worried we have a machien that will dog us for the rest of its life…
Thanks for any help/advice, and Merry Christmas!
Re: It must be Christmas our Fisher & Paykel has just pa
5 is a fridge sensor out of range, 15 is the fridge fan not working properly. You may well find that the area around the fan is iced up, hence the noise. As a temporary measure you could defrost it to get things going again.

Thanks for that info Penguin, would it be likely that the fan coud be iced up even though there’s no ice in the freezer?
You probably know this but it’s a frost free model, so can it be frozen in the freezer still, but icey around the fan?
When you say “sensor out of range” I take it that you mean “too warm”?

Fan burring away is usually a sure sign of icing.
The sensor is a thermistor device – its resistance varies with temperature, but only within a specific range. It may have failed or be out of circuit.
