Fisher & Paykel RF170WDLJX5 Refrigerator Freezer Service

Fisher & Paykel refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Ice maker not filling or producing slowly
  2. Frost around the freezer from a defrost problem
  3. Door seal wear
  4. Temperature drift in one section

A 32″ wide freestanding unit with 17.1 cu. ft. of space, the RF170WDLJX5 is the sort of refrigerator that goes into an ordinary refrigerator bay with a water connection nearby for its ice maker. It carries no cabinet panels, so everything we need is reachable from the front, the back and the inside liner.

An ice maker is usually the first part of a unit like this to complain. If cubes slow down, we follow the water: supply valve, fill tube, then the ice maker head. We also look for frost creeping across the freezer walls, because it tells us whether the defrost cycle is keeping up.

Door gaskets get a hands-on check too, since a small gap lets humid air in and turns into ice. We state the price in writing before starting, and finished repairs are covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

RF170WDLJX5RF170WDLJX5 questions
My ice maker fills the tray only part way. What is the cause?

Low water pressure, a partly frozen fill tube or a tired fill valve are the common reasons. We measure the flow into the tray and work backward until we find where it drops off.

Frost is spreading on the freezer walls. Should I defrost it myself?

Unplugging it to melt the ice only treats the effect. Frost usually returns until the cause is fixed, so we look at the door seal and the defrost system and repair the one that failed.

Can the water line be replaced without moving the refrigerator far?

Usually it needs to come out a short distance to reach the valve and fittings. We protect your floor and make sure the line is not pinched when the unit goes back.
