F13 and F14 are both given as a heater fault on Fisher & Paykel wine cabinets.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F13 / F14 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
A heater fault is reported.
Meaning of F13 and F14
Two words sum up what Fisher & Paykel’s support article says about F13 and F14 on wine cabinets: heater fault. It never says whether the heater is open or shorted, and the existence of two numbers is not accounted for. The plain reading is that the control has noticed trouble with a heater and wants it inspected.
What an owner can do
Cut power at the wall switch or the isolation switch.
After 30 seconds, switch back on.
Look to see whether the code has returned.
Request service if the code comes back or stays showing. The same goes for a cabinet that is not cooling properly.
When not to reset
Smoke or a smell of burning.
Arcing or sparks.
A supply that trips again and again.
Moisture around electrical parts, or dripping.
Bare or exposed wiring.
Where any of these applies, power the cabinet down at the wall if that can be done safely, then ask for service. A heater fault together with such signs should not be left energised.
Protect the contents
The article asks customers to look after the stored wine whenever the cabinet is failing to cool.
Related heater and current codes
