Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator F1 Error Code
The freezer temperature sensor is reading out of range, potentially causing improper cooling or defrost issues.
Common causes
- Faulty freezer thermistor
- Wiring or connection problem
- Control board failure
How to fix it
- Unplug the refrigerator and check the sensor connector on the control board for secure fit.
- Measure sensor resistance with a multimeter (should be ~10k ohms at 77°F; refer to manual for exact values).
- If resistance is out of spec, replace the freezer sensor (typically behind the rear panel inside freezer).
⚠ When to call a pro: If replacing the sensor does not resolve the code, or if you are uncomfortable working with electronics, call a technician.
