Display shows F8; refrigerator may be too warm and condenser area may feel very hot.

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before working at the rear or near the compressor and fan.

F8 indicates the condenser fan is not operating correctly.

• Access condenser fan: Move the refrigerator away from the wall and remove the lower rear cover to expose the condenser fan near the compressor.
• Clean area: Vacuum dust and lint from the condenser coils and fan blades. Heavy buildup can stall the fan and reduce cooling efficiency.
• Check fan movement: Spin the fan blades by hand. If stiff, noisy, or seized, the motor is likely bad.
• Inspect wiring: Ensure the fan connector is fully seated and wires are not cut or pinched.
• Power test (for skilled users): With caution and proper tools, you can check if the fan receives voltage when the compressor is running. If voltage is present but the fan does not run, replace the fan motor.
• Replace fan motor: Install a new condenser fan motor compatible with your Fisher & Paykel model. Secure wiring away from moving parts and hot surfaces.
• Control board check: If the fan never receives power, the control board may be faulty and should be diagnosed by a technician.
