What causes unfamiliar noises in a Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator?
If your Fisher & Paykel refrigerator is making unfamiliar noises, it could be due to the cabinet not being stable or level. Also, the freezer might be defrosting.
Why are the storage compartments in my Fisher & Paykel RF201A Refrigerator too warm?
If the storage compartments in your Fisher & Paykel refrigerator are too warm, the temperature setting might not be correct. Also, frequent door openings or adding a large amount of food recently can affect the temperature. Try to minimize how often you open the door to allow the temperature to stabilize.
Why do the ice cubes from my Fisher & Paykel RF201A have an odor or taste?
If your Fisher & Paykel refrigerator's ice cubes have an unusual odor or taste, unsealed packages in the freezer may be transmitting it. Discard old ice cubes and ensure all food packaging is properly sealed. It may also be that the interior of the freezer needs cleaning. Empty and wash the ice storage bin, and clean the refrigerator. Poor taste from the incoming water can also affect ice quality. The filter may need changing, and you might need to install a new filter and force 2 – 3 ice tray flips.

Why do my Fisher & Paykel RF201A Refrigerator ice cubes have odor/taste?
If your Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator ice cubes have an odor or taste, ensure food packaging is sealed, as unsealed packages may be transmitting odor/taste. Clean the refrigerator.

Also, check if the ‘Dispenser Lock’ is activated by pressing and holding the button for 4 seconds. Finally, water may be frozen in the tank; increase the temperature to a warmer setting in both the fresh food compartment and the freezer.
