SOURCE: Fisher & Paykel Model #E522BRX Fridge portion not working but Freezer OK
I bought this nice looking fridge 4 years ago and after 18 months the fridge part was warm and all the food had to be thrown away. The freezer part was still working.
I called the store that I bought it from and they told me to call a recommended service company. When I called they said that there was a common problem with the fan breaking down. (The fan is what makes the fridge cool as it blows the cold air from the freezer up to the fridge).
They did not have the part in stock and said it would take 6 weeks to order it from New Zealand!!!
I called the store back and had made a commotion so they replaced the fridge with a new one.
Now after two and a half years the same thing has happened again. I called the store and asked if this was a design flaw and did they have a recall on them, but the person I spoke to claimed that they have sold very many of these models and no one else has the same problem.
I am 65 years old and have had quite few refridgerators and none of them has ever broken down at all. I believe that the same problem of the fan breaking again is a design flaw and should be fixed by the manufacturer.
It seems like many other people have the same costly repair problem with these models. I would never buy Fisher & Paykal again!!!

We had the same problem. The duct between the freezer unit and fridge is probably iced over - a design problem apparently. Allowing to completely defrost will solve.

Very possible the door was accidently left open for a period of time. When that happens, moisture latches on to different areas which inturn creates ice build up. In short, do a good defrost and then restart freezer again.
Testimonial: "Thank you. Freezer defrosted and working again!"

I dont work on that brand, however you describe a typical defrost problem, could be the heater t-stat or defrost control.
