Fisher & Paykel Air Circulation / Evaporator Fan or Ducting Problem

Freezer interior very warm at top but cold at bottom, or uneven temperatures between shelves.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed evaporator fan motor, blocked air vents, ice buildup in air ducts, fan blade damage

Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing interior panels.

Steps:

Check vents: Ensure food items are not blocking air vents at the rear or sides of the Fisher & Paykel freezer.
Listen for fan: With the door switch held closed, listen for the evaporator fan. If silent, access the fan behind the rear interior panel.
Inspect for ice: Look for ice blocking air passages. Defrost thoroughly if present.
Test fan: Spin the fan by hand and test for continuity. Replace the evaporator fan motor if seized or open.
