Code 15 points at the PC fan in the fresh food section, which is drawing too little current.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 15 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 PC fan draws less current than expected, from open-circuit wiring or a faulty fan.
What the code points to
Air in the fresh food section is moved by the PC fan. Code 15 tells you the control detects a lower current than normal reaching it. Almost nothing would flow if the fan were not connected through or had died.
The manual’s service procedure
Examine the wiring for the PC fan and the joints at both the fan and the module.
Examine the fan; if it is faulty, a new one goes in.
The two possible causes
A break (open circuit) in the wiring, which stops power fully arriving.
The fan itself being faulty.
No ranking is given, and the manual cannot separate them unless the cabinet is opened up.
Temperature symptoms in the service tables
Uneven temperatures in the fresh food section are connected in the service tables with a PC fan that has stopped. A compartment that is warm yet cool at the bottom is listed with these checks: plug power, polarity, wire breaks, a jammed fan, and ice round the blades. A compartment that is cold yet warm at the top is another entry. Technicians are the audience for the tables, and they are not linked to code 15 by the manual.
At home
Shut doors help, and so does checking that the food remains cold. One button press quiets the alarm, and a power cut lasting a few seconds resets it. Leave the interior covers by the fan on, as wiring checks count as service work in the manual.
