Fisher & Paykel RF170WRKJX6 Refrigerator Maintenance and Repair

Fisher & Paykel refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Ice maker fill valve not delivering water
  2. Cubes sticking into a block when the ice is used lightly
  3. Cooling sensor sending wrong readings
  4. Frost left behind by a weak defrost cycle

The RF170WRKJX6 is the right-hinge sibling of a Series 7 family: 32″ wide, 17.1 cu. ft., with an ice maker built into the freezer instead of a dispenser in the door. Most owners put it in a standard refrigerator opening where the door swings out to the right.

Cubes that fuse together in the bin are a typical sign of a household that does not use much ice. Warm and cold cycles cause the cubes to melt slightly and refreeze, so we talk through usage and look at the ice maker’s cycle rather than assuming it is broken. If the tray never fills, we move on to the fill valve and the water supply.

We also compare ActiveSmart sensor readings with measured air temperature and check the defrost system. You get a written price first, and our work includes a 30-day workmanship warranty.

RF170WRKJX6RF170WRKJX6 questions
My ice cubes are stuck in one lump. Is the ice maker broken?

Cubes can clump, yes. With light use, cubes can thaw and refreeze in the bin. We check the cycle and the bin temperature, empty the lump, and only replace parts if the ice maker itself has failed.

How do you test an ice maker fill valve?

We confirm water arrives at the valve, then check that it receives power and opens during the fill cycle. If it gets both and still does not pass water, the valve itself is the cause.

Why does ActiveSmart cooling sometimes cycle a lot?

A sensor reading off its true value, a dirty condenser or a leaking door seal can each extend running time. We compare readings and clean the airflow path before suggesting parts.
