Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly Diagnostic Mode To enter diagnostic modes, press and hold the MENU button - then press the UP button for 4 seconds. The PC temperature will be displayed on the LCD. The actual temperature of the PC is shown. Note Temperatures are shown in Degrees Centigrade. PC Sensor Temperature ____ - By pressing the Up button once more, this will indicate the FC sensor temperature. Note: The "min" indicates minus 12°C FC Sensor Temperature - By pressing the Up button once more, this will indicate the Defrost sensor temperature. Defrost Sensor Temperature - By pressing the Up button once more, this will indicate the input/Output Status. Input/Output Status - Press UP one and two more time, both LCDs display 87.5 but should be ignored Spare/ Blanks - Press UP one more time and fault history will be shown. Fault History To exit diagnostic mode press MENU button FAULT CODES: A wrench symbol and LCD fault code will appear automatically if there is a fault in the temperature measuring system, defrost system, fans or low ambient heater. When the PC door is opened an alarm will sound, the number of beeps also indicates the fault code. Pressing any of the control buttons can deactivate these alarms Fault Code 1 Reason: On last power up, the power module failed self test. Primary Action: Replace power module Fault Code 2 Reason: The previous 2 defrosts were aborted after 30 minutes Primary Action: Check defrost element Fault Code 3 Reason: The resistance of all the temperature sensors is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms) Primary Action: Check 6 -way Rast connector at power module Fault Code 4 Reason: The resistance of all the temperature sensors is outside the normal range (
Primary Action: Check 6 -way Rast connector at power module Fault Code 5 Reason: The resistance of the FC sensors is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms) Primary Action: Check sensor connector at power module Fault Code 6 Reason: The resistance of the FC sensors is outside the normal range (
Primary Action: Check sensor connector at power module Fault Code 7 Reason: The resistance of the Defrost sensor is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms) Primary Action: Check sensor connector at power module Fault Code 8 Reason: The resistance of the Defrost sensor is outside the normal range (
Primary Action: Check sensor connector Fault Code 9 Reason: The resistance of the PC sensors is outside the normal range (>45K Ohms) Primary Action: Check sensor connector Fault Code 10 Reason: The resistance of the PC sensors is outside the normal range (
Primary Action: Check sensor connector Fault Code 11 Reason: The current for the LAH, PC &FC Fan is lower than expected Primary Action: Check the 6 way fan/LAH, connector at module. Fault Code 12 Reason: The current for the LAH, PC &FC Fan is higher than expected Primary Action: Check the 6 way fan/LAH, connector at module. Fault Code 13 Reason: LAH is drawing less current than expected. Primary Action: LAH open circuit Fault Code 14 Reason: LAH is drawing higher current than expected. Primary Action: Check wiring connection Fault Code 15 Reason: PC fan is drawing less current than expected. Primary Action: PC fan open circuit Fault Code 16 Reason: PC fan is drawing higher than expected current Primary Action: Check fan wiring or connections Fault Code 17 Reason: FC fan is drawing less current than expected. Primary Action: FC fan open circuit Fault Code 18 Reason: FC fan is drawing higher current than expected. Primary Action: Check FC fan & wiring circuit Thanks for choosing FixYa, Kelly
You should enter the diagnostic mode to determin your fault:
There are also Ice maker faults that are NOT included above. This should get you started and if everything passes above diagnosis the problem is most likely in your ice maker circuit. The reason I did not include ice maker faults is because they do not cause alarms.
Read this document and see if anything in the document is anything like your experiencing.

After re-reading your post SEVERAL times, it sounds as if you have a door switch/sensor that has failed because you stated that the door LED is flashing after you finished the diagnostic test.

Hi Kel1guy, Unfortunately the instructions didn't match the Diagnostic Mode from your previous email. The Fisher and Paykel Active Smart fridge was purchased eight years ago. The model number has been cleaned off the sticker but corresponds to the downloaded instructions for E521T and E522B models.
There is no LCD or Menu button as described in the email. "The Control panel has a "food and freezer compartment indicator" the symbol resembling the cabinet doors. A "Temperature indicator" resembling a mercury thermometer. A "Compartment select button" and "Increase" and "Decrease" temperature buttons.
Pressing the Compartment button and increase temp button for 4 seconds gives a beep. Green LED lights randomly run up and down the thermometer and the LED lights on the food and freezer door symbol blink. Press the up button again and the compressor switches on. Up again and the cabinet fan works, press up again the freezer fan operates. Each time the lights change on the thermometer symbol until "Sabbath mode" is reached.
When the fridge alarms as previously described, the green LED in the fridge door symbol blinks. Pressing the increase temperature button and the green LED on the freezer door blinks. I think the green light on the cabinet symbol is the alarm code needed to undertake the repair.
Your assistance would be much appreciated.
