Fisher & Paykel 519L French Door RF522A (Non-Ice & Water)

Great fridge, Terrible freezer. After a few months of use the freezer runner's iced up and we can't open it with out wiping the runners with warm water, or tugging with significant strength (didn't want to do this fearing more issues would result). Several calls to fisher & paykel, without any fix, a couple of contractors came out to look, they mentioned the runners and seals needed replacing, but never did it. Called over 8 times without a resolution! Don't buy it.

It’s a great looking fridge with great storage and space. We installed it in Dec 2021 and now it looks awful. It scratches and dings very easily. The surface is soft so you’re can’t wear rings and can’t stay in a thorough way. The dings were made by a soft plastic duster. I contacted F&P and they eventually got back to me stating there is nothing they can do. We were warned by winnings about this fridge but we loved the look of it.

After waiting months for our fridge, it finally arrived with a dent/scratch on the side, which the delivery guys pointed out. They advised they'd let head office know. I also advised the company where I purchased the fridge. Didn't hear a thing. One week later, the edging of the right door (where the side and the bottom edge meet) broke off. Again, I emailed the store. I don't expect a new fridge (although, I'm wondering what might happen with this fridge as it doesn't seem as well made as the one we purchased in 2007) but I've received an emai...

Replaced an 18year old F&P fridge that has been amazing and is still running perfectly but we needed something bigger! Decided to stick with F&P and bought a new 519ltr French door F&P fridge. Finding new fridge not chilling very well even on coldest setting, and not keeping consistent cold temperature, fridge temperature fluctuates from cool to warm for no reason, food is spoiling, vegetables wilting, ice cream melting then freezing again and drinks not cold enough! Family have gotten sick from eating meat that was in freezer for a week and we...

This fridge replaced our previous Fischer & Paykel fridge, which lasted 20 years.
Now this is an unbelievable lifespan for a fridge, so I had to stick with the brand, and buy another Fischer & Paykel fridge.
This new fridge is of very high quality, and one of the most beautiful fridges on the market.
It’s also super quiet.
A very big thank you to the manufacturer for producing such an excellent product.

Had at home in the box from Mar '19 for 3 months due to reno in progress. When finally installed 3 months later were impressed with the stainless steel look, ease of use and practicality of the and French doors, and how well it fit in to our new kitchen design.

Sadly this wore off after about 2-3 weeks when the constant noise got to me (I suspected compressor running 24/7 - and our reno involved opening up to open plan kitchen/dining/living) and I called F&P support. They sent out a technician who confirmed there was an issue, and it would hav...

Fridge replaced an old conventional F&P. Whilst being the same size it does lose space because of the french doors- and those french doors never close by themselves. Apart from that we've had it a year now with zero issues. The fast freeze and bottle chill features get used all the time. Quality is good and nothing has broken - unlike a kelvinator beer fridge bought more recently

Love the design, look and features of this fridge.

The compartments and storage is generous.

Have had this since April 2014 and it has not failed once. The only issue is the left door flange does now close properly but it can be easily resolved by manually push it as you close the door. I see this is a common issue.

Otherwise, highly recommend this fridge.

Have had the Fisher Paykel 519L active smart french door fridge for nearly 2 years now after a major reno. Chosen this refrigerator for it's good looks & excellent size. So far so good. Very quiet. The ability to see all things inside of fridge at a quick glance. The side storage is great for quick access to milk and butter, jams & sauces. Excellent refrigerator. Highly recommended.

I don't know what other reviewers are experiencing, but this is the quietest fridge I've ever owned, including the previous Fisher & Paykel unit. Love the french doors allowing access for the largest platters and the huge roll out freezer at the bottom. Glass shelves have lots of adjustment options, the light is so good, no dark spots anywhere in the fridge. Gets cold very quickly and keeps pretty accurate temperatures. I bought a wireless fridge/freezer digital thermometer and it is within 1-2 degrees of ideal temperature for both the fridge a...

Updating review..Stainless steel smudges very easy. Managed to have one of the letters on the front of the fridge fall off after a light wipe down, so now I have a Fisher & Pay el, good look... No egg holder or an accessory to even buy to get one!? Massive over sight by F&P. Quite loud compared to my older (and cheaper) fridge. Double vege/fruit bins are good. Early days but regretting my purchase.

French doors are great. Can see and reach everything. The Veg crisper keep veggies fresh well beyond use-by date. Freezer is roomy and access easy.
A big improvement on my 27 year old Kelvinator which is still going as my beer fridge.
Thanks F&P

Door flapper fails to go into position to allow the door to close, have to hold it into potion to be able to close the door, has anyone got a fix, the flapper spring is not broken, got home one night from work and my wife handed the spring to me telling me she found it on the floor

Best fit for my kitchen where space is plenty but lacks the cabinet depth but yet we still want a fridge that can accommodate a family of 5.

The temperature so far has been even for both fridge and freezer and have not experienced any sort of freezing for items places on the top shelf of the fridge. The best part about this fridge is that it offers plenty of space for a smaller foot print in your kitchen. It would be nice if Fisher & Paykel would sells a wider fridge with similar depth and height.

I needed a new fridge to fit into the fridge space in my new home and the Fisher & Paykel I choose turned out to be perfect. The french doors really suited our home as it meant that the fridge could be open at the same time as someone was walking through the narrow kitchen it sits in. A single door fridge would block off the whole walkway until it's closed again. Also, the Fisher & Paykel doesn't make the noises of other fridges you sometimes here at other peoples houses.
