Code 11 reports that the heater and both fans together draw less current than expected.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 11 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The current measured for the ambient heater, PC fan and FC fan is lower than expected.
A single reading from three loads
Added up inside the power module is the current taken by the low ambient heater, the PC fan and the FC fan. Code 11 means that total is lower than it should be. Since three loads feed one figure, the manual begins with what they have in common.
Order of work for the technician
One 6-way connector joins all three to the power module; the manual labels it the fan/LAH RAST connector.
Look at that connector where it meets the power module.
Reterminate it.
Replace the power module if the code is still there.
A connector that has worked loose or been pulled out passes no current, and that suits a low reading.
The start-up trap
Each time the fridge is powered up at the supply, or a door shuts during running, it goes through a test sequence lasting 20 seconds, starting with the low ambient heater. With the doors left shut until all tests end, an unplugged fan/heater connector gives code 11. Open a door the second the alarm sounds and the sequence stops early, and code 13 may be shown in its place. According to the manual, you should let the whole 20 seconds pass before reading the code.
Owner limits
The manual gives owners no repair for this. The alarm goes quiet with a button press, or with a short power cut of a few seconds. A trained technician should be the one to open the rear and examine a connector.
Codes in the same family
Code 12: identical loads, opposite problem, since the current is high.
When code 11 comes back after the 20-second test, ring (310) 872-1939 for Fisher & Paykel refrigerator service in Los Angeles. Say if the unit was moved or worked on lately.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
