Both F56 and F57 on a Fisher & Paykel wine cabinet are listed as a condenser fan current fault. Switch off at the wall for 30 seconds once, then arrange service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F56 / F57 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
Fisher & Paykel's wine cabinet list gives F56 and F57 the same meaning: a condenser fan current fault.
Quick answer
F56 and F57 share one definition in the manufacturer’s wine cabinet list: condenser fan current fault.
The owner step is a single power cycle: off at the wall, 30 seconds, back on.
If the code returns or stays lit, the next move is a service booking.
Reading “condenser fan current fault”
For background, the condenser is the section of a cooling system that releases heat, and its fan moves air across it. The control keeps an eye on how much electric current that fan uses. A fault means the reading was outside what the control expected. Fisher & Paykel does not say whether the current was too high or too low, and it gives no cause. Owners get no fan inspection steps from the article, so this is a service matter.
Applies to four wine cabinets only
The manufacturer’s article is limited in scope. F56 is also used on its Column Refrigerator and Column Freezer ranges, so the explanation here covers these wine cabinet models: RS6009V2R1, RS6009V2RT1, RS2435V2RT1 and RS2435V2R1. Compare your model label with that list first.
The reset, step by step
Turn the cabinet off at the wall or at its isolation switch.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Switch it back on and watch for F56 or F57.
If the code is back, or never cleared, book service. Do the same when the cabinet is not cooling as it should, and keep your bottles somewhere cool in the meantime.
Skip the reset altogether if there is smoke, a burning smell, arcing, a supply that keeps tripping, or water around electrical parts. In that case switch the cabinet off at the wall, provided you can do so safely, and arrange service. All panels stay on.
