Refrigerator and freezer temperatures are too warm; compressor and fans run but cannot reach set temperatures.

Safety: Only licensed refrigeration technicians may open the sealed system. Do not attempt to add refrigerant yourself.

• Basic checks: Confirm doors close properly, gaskets seal, and condenser coils are clean. Ensure fans and compressor are running.
• Observe frost pattern: Remove the freezer rear panel and inspect the evaporator. A partial frost pattern (only a small section frosted) suggests a sealed system issue.
• Listen for gurgling: Unusual hissing or gurgling can indicate low refrigerant.
• Do not puncture lines: Never attempt to access refrigerant lines or valves without proper tools and certification.
• Professional repair: Contact a Fisher & Paykel-authorized technician to leak-check, evacuate, and recharge the system or replace the compressor/evaporator as needed.
