This fridge areplace an old refrigerator only and small upright freezer. it is so fantastic. I have a small house and this fridge fits exactly into the space. The light is lovely and bright, which is great for my low vision. The compartments are big and easy to access, the shelves are sturdy and the whole fridge has a light bright look. The freezer section is a good size for my small family and I can fit heaps into it without. Sacrificing ice trays. The ice tray drawer is perfect for icy poles and other delicates that need to be kept safe and easy to access. I'm really happy with my purchase.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me, recently my F & P E402B fridge started beeping and the control panel inside is flashing, it is a different beep to the "door open" alarm, both fridge and freezer temperatures appear ok. I push the selector button to mute the alarm and then it may not do it again for some time. The fridge is about 2 years old and is the Active Smart type.
Does anyone know how I can fix the beep or stop it?

Would be greatful if anybody can help.

After reading lots of reviews about Fisher and Paykel we decided to buy the stainless steel bottom freezer model. Although it costs a little more, it does look rather stylish and matches with the other appliances in our kitchen. I must say that since we bought the fridge we have had no issues with it at all. It is quiet (though when it self defrosts it is a little noisy - but not too much). It maintains a good temperature in all compartments. I particularly like the crisper drawers as they keep the fruit and vegetables cool for longer. The freezer also maintains a good temperature. All in all, this is a fridge (and a brand) I would recommend.

Love my fridge, it keeps the temperature well, is quiet and easy to clean. Vege drawer can be changed to allow breathing of items which I have found means that they last longer. The freezer section is drawers, but I wish it was a bit bigger. It is sometimes hard to fit it all in!

Reasonably quiet. Stainless steel-great look. Dual crispers for fruits and vegs are great. Adjustable shelves-great flexibility.
Freezer at the bottom makes more sense. To be able to completely pull out freezer drawers is also great. Only thing-when you pull out the middle drawer, the bottom drawer comes out with it.
Warning beeps-useful.

Glad I selected a bottom mount fridge this time, the freezer section is made up of plastic bins that slide out for easy access so you can use all the space. With the freezer at the top things fall off the shelves and you can't pack it full.

The LED light at the FRONT of the fridge lets you see inside really well, the door alarm is great when the door doesn't close properly or you get distracted in the kitchen and leave it open.

Keeps everything nicely chilled.

At first mine was noisy until I walked up to it and pushed it slightly and the vibration stopped - so I realised I had to adjust the front feet to stabilise the fridge and stop it rocking.

THE FRIDGE IS NOT NOISY, PEOPLE JUST CANNOT ADJUST THE FEET.

Nothing wrong with the fridge as a whole and good spacing in the door and never had an issue with the overall performance but holy jeez... This thing is like living with a constant mechanical issue - so. Loud. I would not have gone this route had I known how loud this thing was.

I was limited in the choice of fridges due to the size of the fridge cavity in the kitchen. Quiet running. Shelves and compartments well placed. Loving the dual crisper and my freezer is now well organised with the 3 drawers. Easy to clean. Doors 'beep' if left open too long. Doors do need a bit of a nudge to close. Very happy.

Had it for a year now and its so noisy, it wasn't like this when I first brought it. Such a shame otherwise it would have been a great fridge. From the other posts it looks like there is not a lot I can do about it. Would not have purchased it if i had known how loud it was going to be.

I find the fridge quiet and it works well. I think this site throws up a lot of the negative reviews but few people who are pleased with their fridge post a review.

I have had very mixed experiences with fridges over the years, with some going on for ever and some lasting only a few years and then being uneconomic to repair (hint, avoid Samsung - terrible products and worse customer service). What first drew me to Fisher and Paykel was a friend, who damaged a door compartment in a 15 year old fridge, and was able to get a replacement part cheaply and quickly from them... because they have standardised parts which fit multiple models - great idea! I know others have mentioned the noise, but it's not something we have noticed even though it's close to the living area. This model works well and is well designed, highly recommend it to anyone.

We bought this fridge because of the dimensions and we needed more space in the fridge.
The reminders for chilling bottles and etc really good! The fridge is easy to clean - shelves come off and are adjustable.
Received a cashback of a $150 from JBHifi

Cons
- a bit noisy
- Freezer isn't spacious
- Door doesnt close all the way (I think my husband didnt put it on a slant)

I bought this fridge about 5 years ago. In that time it has never missed a beat.
Compared to my old fridge it is noisy and when I first used it thought there may have been a problem with it due to the noise. However we soon learnt to not worry about the noisyness and have enjoyed trouble free refrigeration and excellent frost free performance. PS it also is fairly economical to run and we observed reduction in our energy usage in comparison to our previous fridge.

I wouldn't recommend this if you have an open plan living house unless you like to keep playing with the remote for your tv to adjust the volume . The fridge can be heard from every room of my 3 bedroom house and on a quiet evening even from my back porch .

been very satisfied with this fridge, lots of room, Great NZ Product. works well all year round, very suitable for a large family

I am a great supporter of Fisher and Paykel products. Never had a service call in 25 years, i,e, fridge, washing machine and dishwasher. My new fridge (needed to downsize) is sleek and classy. Quiet. Like the light at the front of the fridge - helpful. Freezer baskets also helpful.
