Codes F3 through F10 are one temperature sensor fault on Fisher & Paykel wine cabinets.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 / F4 / F5 / F6 / F7 / F8 / F9 / F10 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 temperature sensor fault is detected.
Fisher & Paykel’s support article puts eight consecutive wine cabinet codes, F3 to F10, on a single line reading temperature sensor fault. No separate meaning exists for each number.

F4
F5

F7
F8
F9
F10
The instruction is identical for each: reset the cabinet carefully, and arrange service should the fault return.
The F5 overlap
The article flags F5 as a code other Fisher & Paykel products use too, ActiveSmart and column refrigerators among them, and says its list does not apply to them. It belongs to the RS6009V2R1, RS6009V2RT1, RS2435V2R1 and RS2435V2RT1 wine cabinets alone. On any other refrigerator range, go by that model’s own fault list, because the same code may mean something else.
Reset sequence
Disconnect the cabinet using the wall switch or the isolation switch.
Let 30 seconds go by.
Reconnect and read the display.
Do not do this if there is smoke, a burning smell, arcing, damp near electrical parts, leaking or repeated tripping. Request service in those cases.
One answer for eight codes
The article attaches no sensor position to any of the numbers and gives no readings or resistance values, which the older ActiveSmart manual does. For that reason the plan is the same all through: a single reset, then service if the code returns or the cabinet warms.
Arranging service
A sensor code that persists or comes back, or a cabinet that is not holding its temperature, means booking a visit. Cooling can become unreliable with a sensor fault, so make sure the bottles stay cool and relocate them if they do not.
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.
