Possible Causes

Failed condenser fan motor, fan blade obstructed by dust or debris, wiring harness damage, faulty fan driver on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect mains power before working at the rear of the appliance.

Steps to address F7:

  • Access condenser fan: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the condenser coil and fan assembly.
  • Inspect for dust and debris: Clean heavy dust buildup from the condenser coil and fan blades using a soft brush and vacuum. Ensure nothing is blocking the fan.
  • Check fan movement: Spin the fan blade by hand. It should rotate freely. If stiff or noisy, the motor bearings may be failing.
  • Verify wiring: Inspect the fan motor wiring and connector. Look for loose plugs, damaged insulation, or corrosion. Reseat connectors.
  • Test motor: With power off, measure resistance across the fan motor leads. An open circuit indicates a failed motor. Replace the condenser fan motor with a compatible Fisher & Paykel part.
  • Control board check: If the motor tests good but never receives voltage when the compressor is running, the main control board may have a failed fan driver and should be replaced by a technician.
