Fisher & Paykel refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Ice maker not filling or producing slowly
  2. Frost around the ice maker housing
  3. ActiveSmart sensor trouble
  4. Door seal wear

The RF170WLKJX6 is a Series 7 refrigerator freezer, 32″ wide with 17.1 cu. ft. of space and its hinge on the left. Because the ice maker is inside the freezer rather than behind a dispenser door, you will see this model in kitchens where the door must open toward a wall or an island.

The ice maker is the part that draws most calls, either because it stops filling or because frost builds up around its housing. We look at the fill tube and supply first, then at the housing for ice that blocks the mold. After that we check ActiveSmart sensor readings against actual air temperature.

A left-hinge door also wears the seal differently, so we inspect the gasket along the latch edge. We give a written price before we begin and a 30-day workmanship warranty when we finish.

RF170WLKJX6RF170WLKJX6 questions
Why does ice build up around the ice maker housing?

Moisture is getting in or a fill tube is dripping, then freezing in place. We check the door seal and the fill tube, thaw the area properly, and fix whatever allowed water to leak.

Does a left-hinge model need special parts?

Some parts, such as the door gasket and hinge pieces, are handed. We confirm your model number and hinge side first so the right parts arrive for the visit.

Can an ActiveSmart sensor be tested without replacing it?

Yes. We compare its reading to a probe in the same compartment. If they match, the sensor is fine and we look at airflow or the compressor side instead.
