F11 and F12 carry one description: a fan or heater current above the expected level.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F11 / F12 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
Fan or heater current is higher than expected.
Two numbers, matching text
On Fisher & Paykel wine cabinets F11 and F12 are described identically. Some fan or heater is consuming more current than the control anticipates. Which component it is, and what sets the numbers apart, goes unexplained in the article.
Code

Action given
F11

F12
Fan or heater current higher than expected
Reset safely; service if it comes back
Going carefully
A fault involving current is electrical by nature, so the exceptions in the support article carry weight. Burning, smoke, sparks, wet electrical components, or a supply that trips over and over: any of these rules out the reset. Turn the cabinet off at the wall when you can do so safely and request a visit.
With none of those present, use the wall switch or isolation switch to cut power, give it half a minute, and switch on again. Glance at the display once the cabinet is running.
Keep the cabinet closed up
The article does not want owners removing panels, checking wiring, testing components or forcing doors.

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.
