Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart 442L Bottom Freezer (E442 Series) Questions & Answers

you need to buy "butter plugs"little plugs that fit through the cover and lock into the hole in the door.
Call F&P spares, they should know.

I didn't realise that the SS had any sort of coating. We have been cleaning our fridge outside surfaces with a proprietry SS cleaning wipe available from any supermarket. I have been told that WD40 also does a good job and helps preserve the SS and is especially good for cleaning BBQs.
If it particularly worries you, you can always have the door skins replaced. When our fridge was first delivered it had a dent in the top door which F&P replaced at no cost to us. The guys who did the job said it cost F&P $300.
Since then a bowl fell out of the top compartment when the door was opened and dented the top edge of the bottom door. We have learnt to live with it.
Best of luck.

Hi Ian,
I am unsure what would cause that but it definitely sounds like a fault with the fridge and a possible safety hazard - I'd would suggest contacting fisher and paykel to fix it. I no longer have a fisher and paykel as we were not happy with thier customer service when our F&P caught fire.
All the best
Kelsey

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that issue. I assume the freezer is not getting cold enough for some reason, if you cannot adjust it with the controls, the door seals are fine and there is no ice build up inside the freezer, I suggest it may require a technician to look at it. If it is a fridge with an ice maker in the door, I'm even less familiar with that mine does not have one of those.

Yes

this should be in your manual that come with the fridge, otherwise call fisher & paykel customer care

The Hand Book says it should stop dripping after several days after disconnecting water supply, eg to change filter.

Sorry, I never had this problem. Moved out of the house now, have a different fridge, still has a water dispenser and it doesn't leak either. GOod luck.

I am not sure since I did not have the problem. Have you tried F&P service ?.
I have replaced that fridge since my F&Paykel did not get cold any more.
Not sure if you can use epoxy to mend it ?

Shah85, I have noticed that our fridge makes all sorts of sounds now and then depending on what it's doing, but none of them are very loud or for a long time. I have never had an upside down fridge/freezer before so I just put those new noises down to they way the upside down ones work. Ours works beautifully so I would suggest that if it's not making the noise constantly and is operating correctly, that it's not an issue.

Mine is a E402 and makes a really loud buzzing too. Brand new & pissed off about it.
