F16Warning
Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator F16 Error Code
A door switch (typically freezer door) is not making proper contact, preventing the fan or lights from functioning.
Common causes
- Faulty door switch
- Misaligned door
- Wiring issue
How to fix it
- Listen for the click of the switch when the door closes; if no click, the switch may be stuck or broken.
- Inspect the switch for physical damage and test continuity with a multimeter when pressed.
- Replace the switch if defective.
⚠ When to call a pro: If the switch tests good but the error persists, the wiring to the control board may need professional inspection.
