F20 does not stand for 20 degrees Fahrenheit you pleb. It is a fault code. Your fridge probably beeps 20 time when you open the door and then stops. To fix is simple and takes 5 mins. Remove the top left hand hinge cover and you will find a broken wire. Just switch off the fridge and then connect the wires together with a auto12v type connecter or solder it and use shrink tube. Switch the fridge back on and hay presto, you can fill your fridge to the max 3 times over with the money you just saved. It will happen again as the wiring loom they fit is well and not flexible. Use silicone insulated wire from J-car or similar and replace from the plug and reconnect inside the door where the wires don\'t bend. Hope this helps you.

    OMG, thats amazing advise after two months of beeping and having had the service engineer out who said we need a new door in October, we are still awaiting for it and apparently not going t be here until February 2018 I decided to see if anyone could help me out. This advice has worked!! Thank you so much. It was a very beeping Christmas with 12 in the house!

SOURCE: Error code F32 for fisher

Got the same error here, called Fisher Paykel and the said it's an error related to the water line. They recommended running 3 L of water and see if code disappeared. If not, call service, they gave me a local company. Error code has disappeared, for now.

The F24 error show that the sensor in the ice maker is out of normal ranges. The usual fix is to replace the sensor in the ice maker.  Also worth checking it to see is the water to the ice maker has frozen up in the value (switch the fridge off for a day). If the error still exists after that you will need to replace the ice maker sensor. You have a 2 year warranty on these parts so the fix should be free.

I called F&P customer care when my fridge did this, and apparently 11 beeps means the compressor has failed. I hope you got someone to fix your fridge! I decided to post a solution as I couldn't find one online anywhere!

When opening the fridge doors the alarm sounds on the screen is a number F20
You failed to say the make or model of your refrigerator.. Is it a Fisher Paykel? F20 and beeping typically means that you have a broken wire somewhere between the mainboard and the controls in the door. It could be as simple as a loose harness under the hinge cover (at the top of the door) that just needs to be more firmly plugged in.

Opening fridge door and it beeps
perhaps the reed switch (the magnetic switch to tell the PCB the door is open/closed).

With F&P fridges, the amount of beeps will indicate the error code which relates to which component is faulty.

I have a fisher and paykel fridge freezer - the problem being once fridge is opened it keeps beeping and on the front panel it shows a spanner flashing
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!

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

The door alarm of my fisher and Paykel E372B fridge goes off when the door hasnt been opened for a number of hours. How can I stop this.
You would notice that when it beeps, there are a series of beeps, which relate to an error code - also, the temperature panel would be most likely flashing the same amount of times the beeping occurs. The code relates to a component failure that the active smart system is having problems with.

For example, 17 beeps would be error code 17 - which relates to the freezer fan is drawing less current than is expected. Either the wiring is open circuit or the fan is faulty.

How to I change handing of fisher & paykel 2 door fridge
Hello friend
Not your machine but this is how it is done for standard Fridges , They are all similar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEcPVbOjdUE



Extract From the fisher & paykel website user guide ....it seems to be all about the handles.
http://www.fisherpaykel.com/vault/pdfs//pdf_usecares/5339_NZ_AU_ActiveSmart__HR.pdf
Door conversion
If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side we recommend that you call your local
Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer or Dealer to make this conversion.
ActiveSmart refrigerator models with silver handles need to be ordered at the point of purchase either with left or right opening doors and can not be interchanged.
All other models need to have an appropriate conversion kit for that model refrigerator.
The kit is available from your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer or Dealer. Full instructions are
included in the conversion kit.
This does not apply to French door mode

CONTROL PANEL SHOWS F20 AND BEEPS WHEN OPENED PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS THANKS
F20 can be fixed very easy. Get something high to stand on. and see the top of the fridge. you will see the top panel and 2 pieces of plastic covers on the front corners. take of the left on and you will see broken cables. attache the cables back together and please at least use electric tapes to make it safe or soldering iron even rubber melting tubes.

Refridgerator E249T the beeping alarm wont stop. The door appears okay. How can I disconnect the alarm, please? Thanks Brian
I have the same fridge. It was driving me crazy. I emptied it. Cleaned it. Defrosted it. And was ready to dump it. Then worked it out. As it beeps when the door is open. How does it know. Because when the door is open the light is on. I taped up the light nob with masking tape, on top left of fridge. No light now
But no beep Yay!!!!
