SOURCE: Problem with Fisher & Paykel

so both the freezer and the frigerator are both warm then? If this is the case then you can try to remove the rear panel down where the compressor is leave machine off for about ten minutes then plug the machine back in there isa small box like unit or relay on the side of the compressor if your hearing it click on and off or if you disconnect the wires going to it and shake it lightly to hear if something is rattleing on the inside also if you have a multimeter and a pair of needle nose you can do this to test the relay

Remove the cover on the compressor relay box. The cover is usually held in place by retaining clips or tension clips. There are usually three components inside this box: the compressor relay, the compressor motor terminals and the overload protector. The compressor relay is the largest component and will either be wirewound or solid state. If the part is solid state, then you will have to have a professional test the part, as it requires specific equipment for testing. If you have a wirewound relay, pull it straight off of the compressor.

  • 5

    Use a pair of needlenose pliers to pull the connector off of the relay's terminal. Be sure to pull it off by grasping the connector and NOT the wire. Check both the wire connector and the compressor relay for any signs of corrosion.

  • 6

    After you dust the relay off, take a good look at it. You should see two plug-type terminals marked "S" and "M" and the slip-on terminal marked "L." Set your multitester to read ohms (usually the X1 or RX1 setting). Set the relay on a flat surface so that the "S" and "M" terminals are on the bottom.

  • 7

    Insert one probe of your tester into the "S" terminal and one in the "M" terminal. Your tester should have a reading of "zero" ohms. Keeping the probes inserted in the terminals, turn the relay over. You should hear an audible "click" and the tester's reading should change from "zero" to "infinity."

  • 8

    Turn the relay back over. Now, touch one probe to the "S" terminal and the other probe to the "L" terminal. The tester should read "zero" ohms. Turn it over again with the probes still on the terminals and the tester should read "infinity."

  • 9

    Turn the relay back over. Now, touch one probe to the "M" terminal and the other to the "L" terminal. The tester should read "zero" ohms. Turn the relay over with the probes still in place and the tester's reading should not change -- it will remain at zero ohms.

  • 10

    If your compressor relay passes this series of tests, then your relay is not the problem with your refrigerator. If it fails any one of these tests, then take it to an appliance parts shop and purchase a replacement. Replace everything back in its original position and be sure to remove the 20-ohm resistor from the capacitor before plugging the refrigerator back in.

  • note if you are unable to perform these tests please call a technician if you have any further questions please message me back as well as please remember to rate how this opinion has helped in your appliance repair all in all if your machine is warm its either the relay or the compressor Thanks again

    My Hotpoint FUFL1810P that keeps beeping and the lights inside are flashing when the door is opened, I have reset by turning the power off and on again and also by turning the freezer switch off and on....

    Something to think about from the manual for your freezer. Also I would check the temperature of your freezer with a thermometer to make sure it is freezing ok .Troubleshooting
    If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see
    Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.
    The green POWER indicator light does not illuminate.
    • The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or not
    far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the house.
    The motor does not start.
    • The appliance comes with a motor protection control (
    see Start-
    up and use
    ).
    The indicator lights are on but the light is dim.
    • Pull out and reverse the plug before putting it back in the socket.
    a) The alarm sounds.
    a) The refrigerator door has remained open for more than two
    minutes (the buzzer will stop sounding when you shut the door) or
    the correct switching-off procedure was not followed (
    see
    Maintenance
    ).
    b) The alarm sounds and the two yellow indicator lights
    flash.
    b) The temperature in the freezer is too high. Check the quality of
    the food products and dispose if necessary.
    + buzzer =
    Heating is excessive
    c) The alarm sounds and the two yellow indicator lights
    as well as the green one flash.
    c) The temperature in the freezer has reached a dangerous level.
    The food must be disposed immediately.
    + buzzer =
    Heating danger
    b/c)
    In both these cases the freezer will maintain a temperature of
    about 0°C so that the food does not re-freeze.
    To turn off the acoustic signal open and close the refrigerator door.
    To restore normal operation bring the FREEZER OPERATION knob
    setting to
    (off) and turn the appliance on again.
    The green POWER indicator light flashes.
    • The appliance is not operating correctly. Contact the Technical
    Assistance Centre.
    The refrigerator and the freezer do not cool well.
    • The doors do not close properly or the seals are damaged.
    • The doors are opened too frequently.
    • The OPERATION knobs are not on the correct setting (
    see
    Description
    ).
    • The refrigerator or the freezer have been over-filled.
    The food inside the refrigerator is beginning to freeze.
    • The REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob is not on the correct
    setting (
    see Description
    ).
    • The food is in contact with the back inside wall of the refrigerator.
    The motor runs continuously.
    • The SUPER FREEZE button has been pressed (rapid freezing):
    the yellow SUPER FREEZE light is on or flashing (
    see
    Description
    ).
    • The door is not closed properly or is continuously opened.
    • The outside ambient temperature is very high.

    Model E402b. Why is the alarm going off?

    Fridge keeps beeping or buzzing: The following is for Frigidaire models but others can be addressed similarly.

    Several Frigidaire refrigerator models have an electronic control panel on the freezer door the owner can use to adjust the internal temperature, dispense ice and water and receive notification about issues such as the need to replace a water filter. The refrigerators also emit a beep for various actions and as an occasional alarm. Determining what causes the beeps necessitates some troubleshooting.
    Temperature Controls ·A Frigidaire refrigerator's display panel blinks when the control panel is touched to set temperature controls. After pressing "Freezer Temp" or "Refrigerator Temp" on the keypad, press the arrow buttons within five seconds to increase or decrease the desired temperature. If you do not press the arrow buttons within five seconds after pressing "Freezer Temp" or "Refrigerator Temp" on the keypad, the refrigerator beeps to indicate the current setting will stay in place.

    Door Open ·When you leave the refrigerator or freezer door open, the refrigerator beeps. Also, the "Door Ajar" indicator illuminates on the appliance's display panel. Shutting the door and pressing "Alarm Reset" stops the beeping and turns off the "Door Ajar" indicator light.
    ·The Frigidaire refrigerator has a control lock feature that prevents use of its control panel or dispensers when the unit is locked. When the control lock is active, a beep sounds when a keypad or dispenser is pressed. Release the control lock by pressing the "Control Lock" icon for three seconds. A beep will sound, and the icon's light will go out.
    Power Reset ·A power reset is occasionally necessary if the Frigidaire refrigerator's control panel does not work normally or a reset function on the keypad does not work. A power reset involves disconnecting power to the refrigerator by unplugging its power cord from the electrical outlet, waiting 30 seconds and plugging the power cord back into the electrical outlet. When the control panel resets, a beep sounds. If the refrigerator beeps even after a power reset and the beeps' source is not known, contact Frigidaire.

    Fisher Paykel RF175WDRX1. Why does the fridge beep when I open it?

    check the thermostat setting for the compartment
    it may not be set low enough so the alarm goes off when the compartment temperature reaches or exceeds that setting
    some fridges have a system whereby if the door is open too long then it notifies the user to close the door

    My zanussi zwg 6141p washing machine is calling water at start of cycle but is not going into drawer to swill out detergent , is also stopping half way with the green light on the start button flashin

    Some appliances malfunction can be displayed in hexadecimal or in binary code.
    So your device is defective and shows you what's wrong. You have to count how many times flashes red light and how many times flashes green light. Red light shows the first error number and green light the second error number.
    For example: you forgot to close the door and you started washing machine. After some time (timeout) will generate an alarm. Four times will flash red light and once the green light which means error code " E41 " or "Open door"
    " E20 " means "No drain water"
    " E10 " means "No fill up water"
