      If the water in the first glass from your Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator is warm, it could be because the water dispenser hasn't been used for an extended period. Discard the first glass of water. It could also be due to the tank capacity being recently used; allow the water time to cool.

    Why are drips overflowing the drip-shelf on my Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart E522B Refrigerator?
    • S
      Steven FrancisSep 12, 2025
      If drips are overflowing the drip-shelf on your Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator, it could be due to air trapped in the tank. Flush 3 liters of water through the dispenser, stopping intermittently. If you've recently installed a new filter, flush 10 liters of water through the filter and then 3 liters through the dispenser.
