Which fan? Fridge fan or freezer fan? Fridge fan 1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. 2. Remove all PC shelving. 3. Remove the duct grill in the PC. 4. Remove the PC duct cover and polystyrene insulation. 5. Using 2 fingers, withdraw the fan motor upwards. It is mounted horizontally in the divider partition. 6. With the motor out, this will expose a small multi plug and socket connection to the fan motor and wiring harness. Unplug. 7. To refit back together, fit the wiring harness multi plug first into the pocket of the divider partition. 8. Using your 2 fingers, slip the motor back into the divider partition to fit horizontally. NOTE: The back of the fan motor faces upwards. 9. Refit the duct covers and test. To test the fan(s), Testing a PC or FC fan motor with a multi meter is not possible, due to the electronics contained within the motor. The simple way to test a fan motor is to apply a DC voltage with a 9-volt battery.

The low ambient heater is drawing less current than expected. Either the heater or wiring is open circuit or the heater is faulty.

1. Check the wiring and connections at both heater and power module
2. Check the low ambient heater resistance. If not within limits replace.

As for the fan, 1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. 2. Remove all PC shelving. 3. Remove the duct grill in the PC. 4. Remove the PC duct cover and polystyrene insulation. 5.

Fault code 64? Are you sure it is not 14? Fault code 14 indicates the low ambient heater is drawing more current than expected. Either there is a short in the heater or wiring, or the heater is faulty.

first you need to provide more details of the fridge. There are two 12 Volt DC electrically commutated motors (ECMs). The motor speeds are controlled using a pulse width modulating (PWM) technique, which are controlled by the PCB. When the compressor is turned on, provided the doors are closed both the fans will also be switched on except immediately following a defrost cycle, where there is a delay of 5 minutes after the compressor has started before the freezer fan starts.

flashing lights and beeps indicate a component failure. Count the beeps and provide details here.

sounds like the fan is either faulty or ice built up around fan, and the blade is hitting the ice - as the defrost heater may need replacing. Check for excess ice build up around door area (which would indicate the door not sealing correctly) or excess ice at rear could be due to faulty defrost heater, or the PCB board requires replacement.

Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. Looking up at the dispenser, Push the 2 outer tabs upwards and gently pull the panel forward once the tabs release. A small screwdriver or key may need to be used to dislodge the tabs from the housing. Two locating pins on the base of the front panel hold the housing at the bottom. NOTE: The housing cannot be removed, as wiring looms prevent its removal. To refit new module, perform in the reverse order.

No, only F&P. This image will help identify the model number though. As time progresses, so does their procedures, systems and codes for identification.

Can anyone provide me with a manual for the FPG21KRDA ?
Just bought a second hand one. Thanks

The alarm tells you that something's wrong something's not cooling properly or something's wrong with the defrost system if you left your doors open for quite a while it will create ice around the fan blades and that could be your noise problem. d Disconnecting the power to your refrigerator opening the doors for about 12 hours and let it manually defrost will usually solve the problem.

If this is a large cabinet or larder fridge the cabinet is not rigid enough to maintain it's shape unless it rigidly stands level and square. It can take a deal of time and effort to adjust the front feet in order to level and square the cabinet on a relatively flat floor and sometimes it is impossible without first preparing the floor. It is important for them to stand level and square and at the same time stand firmly on all the feet. If they are allowed to operate out of plumb for any length of time the motor/compressor unit can soon become noisy. Often this is only noticed when the door is closed or open. The door is a major part of the rigidity of the modern fridge and if the fridge is not properly levelled the shape of the cabinet will change as the door is opened and closed causing any compressor noise to be transmitted differently. The gas charge of the modern fridge can also make weird noises as it is being pumped around the circuit. Ours sometimes sounds like the wind blowing across an open chimney and sometimes like the sea breaking on to a pebble beach and sometimes like something sprung a leak. All this is fairly normal after the fridge has lost it's youthfulness.

Haier took over f&P so try their spare department try clark rubber or allied rubber products take a grommet along as a spare

the compressor is mounted in 4 rubber grommets and held in place by a pin these rubber grommets break down and allow the compressor excess movement on starting and stopping it is just a suggestion to check the mounts for condition

sounds like the door opening switch must stick. find the switch, should be visible near the hinge area of the fridge and spray some wd-40 into the housing. that might work!

there could be oil blocking up the tube in the evaporator ry switching it off for a day to allow the oil to drain back to the compressor if that doesn't work get in a technician and get a quote to fix when the sign says --do not lay down on the side -- then you have just found out the reason why it is not done
