# Fisher & Paykel F56 on a wine cabinet: another fan code

F56 is one of the examples Fisher & Paykel gives in its wine cabinet article, and it sits in the fan group with F15 to F18 and F57.

## What F56 actually means.

F56 is one of the examples Fisher & Paykel gives in its wine cabinet article, and it sits in the fan group with F15 to F18 and F57. The number tells the technician which fan circuit to check first.

What to do when F56 shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Fans and airflow

A fan the control expected to turn is slow, noisy or still. Inside the cabinet a small fan stirs the air so every rack sits at the same temperature; behind the grille or on the back, another carries heat away from the compressor or the hot side of a thermoelectric module. A bottle nudged against the inner fan guard, ice on a blade and dust packed into the grille are cleared before any motor is replaced.

### Usually leads to Wine cooler fan repair

Replacing the fan that circulates air across the racks, or the one that cools the condenser, when a wine cooler warms unevenly, ticks, buzzes or falls silent.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

## Before you book, in this order.

Photograph the panel when the 4 beeps sound and the code appears.

### Still there?

### What not to do

F56 does not mean the cabinet has lost cooling everywhere; a single zone may be affected. It is not a heater or sensor code.

## Questions about F56.

### Can I clear F56 myself?

Photograph the panel when the 4 beeps sound and the code appears. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Is F56 different from F15 on a Fisher & Paykel wine cabinet?

Both are fan codes; the numbers point to different circuits, which the technician reads.

### Will the Fisher & Paykel cabinet keep cooling with F56?

Possibly in part. Watch both zones until the visit.

### Does F56 come with noise?

Sometimes a stopped or blocked fan changes the sound; sometimes it is silent.
