F15 to F18 are four wine cabinet codes grouped under one description, a fan fault.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F15 / F16 / F17 / F18 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 fan fault is reported.
One line for four codes
Fisher & Paykel’s wine cabinet fault list puts F15, F16, F17 and F18 together under fan fault. Nothing in the article ties a number to a particular fan, so the four cannot be told apart from the text.
F15 reads fan fault.
F16 reads fan fault.
F17 reads fan fault.
F18 reads fan fault.
Where to start
When nothing looks hazardous, try the reset the manufacturer recommends. Cut power at the wall or the isolation switch, let half a minute go by, and restore power. A code that stays away may have been a single event. Should it clear and then reappear later, the article notes that an appointment can be booked online.
When service is needed
The fan code is still there, or comes back, once the reset is done.
It stays on the display.
Cooling is poor.
The reset cannot be carried out safely.
Fans sit in the cooling path. A fan code alongside warm air in the cabinet deserves quicker attention than one where cooling still seems normal.
Leave the fan alone
Do not lift off panels to get at a fan, do not probe it, and do not shift wires around. The article rules out dismantling the cabinet, looking at wiring and replacing parts.
Information to gather
Booking needs the model number, the exact code, the stage at which it showed (starting up or cooling), whether the cabinet still cools, and the effect of the reset. The article applies to the RS6009V2R1, RS6009V2RT1, RS2435V2R1 and RS2435V2RT1 cabinets.
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.
