Fisher Paykel ice maker not working

CAUTION: This machine must be electrically grounded. It can be grounded through the grounding lead in the 3-prong po properly grounded appliance outlet or through a separate No. 13 or large wire from the cabinet to an established ground. method must comply with any local electrical code requirements. Certain internal parts are internationally NOT GROUND and may present a risk of electrical shock only during servicing. To reduce the risk of shock, disconnect the power supply cord before servicing.

CAUTION: ALL TERMINALS AND INTERNAL PARTS SHOULD BE TREATED AS LIVE. IMPORTANT – RE-CONNECT ALL GROUNDING DEVICES.
If grounding wires, screws, straps, clips, nuts or washers used to complete a path to ground are removed for service, they must be returned to their original position and properly fastened.

Press the MENU button until the Temperature Icon is highlighted.
The refrigerator Icon shall be highlighted as well. By pressing the UP or DOWN will change the temperature of the PC.
By pressing the MENU button again the FC section of the refrigerator will be highlighted. By pressing the UP or DOWN button will change the temperature FC.
The factory default setting are 34.7f PC and 0f for the FC. Input/Output Status To enter input   output status:

  • Press and hold the MENU button then press UP button for 4 seconds. This enters Diagnostic mode.
  • Press the UP button three times. The current input output status will be displayed.

If a device is on or a door is open, the respective LCD will be on. Return to normal operation by pressing the MENU button.

Note: Only the first 6 LCD’s are used. The last 5 are not used.

Only the first 6 LCD's are used

Electronic / Electrical Faults Ice & Water products have the LED display on the door. A wrench symbol and LCD fault code will appear automatically if there is a fault in the temperature measuring system, defrost system, fans or low ambient heater.

Fault Codes A wrench symbol and LCD fault code will appear automatically if there is a fault in the temperature measuring system, defrost system, fans or low ambient heater. When the PC door is opened an alarm will sound, the number of beeps also indicates the fault code. Pressing any of the control buttons can deactivate these alarms.

A wrench symbol and LCD fault code will appear automatically

Fault Code 1 Reason: On last power up, the power module failed self test. Primary Action: Replace power module.

Fault Code 2 Reason: The previous 2 defrosts were aborted after 30 minutes. Primary Action: Check defrost-element.

Fault Code 3 Reason: The resistance of all the temperature sensors is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms). Primary Action: Check 6 -way Rast connector at power module.

Fault Code 4 Reason: The resistance of all the temperature sensors is outside the normal range (< 660 Ohms). Primary Action: Check 6 -way Rast connector at power module.

Fault Code 5 Reason: The resistance of the FC sensors is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms). Primary Action: Check sensor connector at power module.

Fault Code 6 Reason: The resistance of  the FC sensors is outside the normal range (<660 Ohms). Primary Action: Check sensor connector at power module.

Fault Code 7 Reason: The resistance of the Defrost sensor is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms). Primary Action: Check sensor connector at power module.

Fault Code 8 Reason: The resistance of the Defrost sensor is outside the normal range (<660 Ohms). Primary Action: Check sensor connector.

Fault Code 9 Reason: The resistance of the PC sensors is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms). Primary Action: Check sensor connector.

Fault Code 10 Reason: The resistance of the PC sensors is outside the normal range (<660 Ohms). Primary Action: Check sensor connector.

Fault Code 11 Reason: The current for the LAH, PC &FC Fan is lower than expected. Primary Action: Check the 6 way fan/LAH, connector at module.

Fault Code 12 Reason: The current for the LAH, PC &FC Fan is higher than expected. Primary Action: Check the 6 way fan/LAH, connector at module.

Fault Code 13 Reason: LAH is drawing less current than expected. Primary Action: LAH open circuit.

Fault Code 14 Reason: LAH is drawing higher current than expected. Primary Action: Check wiring connection.

Fault Code 15 Reason: PC fan is drawing less current than expected. Primary Action: PC fan open circuit.

Fault Code 16 Reason: PC fan is drawing higher than expected current. Primary Action: Check fan wiring or connections.

Fault Code 17 Reason: FC fan is drawing less current than expected. Primary Action: FC fan open circuit.

Fault Code 18 Reason: FC fan is drawing higher current than expected. Primary Action: Check FC fan & wiring circuit.

 

Icemaker Fault Codes
If a fault should develop with the Ice Maker, a LED will illuminate on the ice maker PCB, which is attached to the power module. The LED is visible from the back of the product; hence the product must be wheeled away from the wall to view the fault codes. The number of LED flashes represents the fault code with the icemaker itself.

Code: 1
Fault: Motor time out

Code: 2
Fault: Motor current high

Code: 3
Fault: Temp sensor too hot

Code: 4
Fault: Temp sensor too cold – O/C

Code: 5
Fault: Water solenoid – current too high

Icemaker Display Fault
If a fault has occurred relating to the display board, the fault code will show on the display just like any other fault. The fault history is a tool to view intermittent faults. Note: There will be no alarm if these faults occur.

Code: F30
Fault: No display signal, short/broken-wire

Code: F31
Fault: No display signal, short/broken wire Clock/data line

Compressor Information

Fisher & Paykel Active Smart Refrigerators are fitted with a Variable Speed Compressor (Commonly known as variable capacity compressor or VCC).

VCC’s run on DC voltage supplied from an inverter and are operate at different speeds to vary the amount of cooling capacity in the refrigerator.

Inverters convert AC mains power voltage supply to DC voltage supply which is varied to control the compressor speed.

Compressor winding are a 3 phase configured motor and external testers should not be used. Resistance between each pin should be 6.4ohm. DISCONNECT PRODUCT FROM POWER SOURCE BEFORE TESTING THE PRODUCT.
