Fisher & Paykel fridge not cooling or compressor not starting?

This module is part of the fridge's electronic control system and helps decide when the compressor runs. A fault can leave the fridge warm, the freezer thawing or the compressor never starting, even though the lights and display still work. Other signs are a fridge that runs non-stop and over-freezes, clicking without starting, or a burnt smell from the back of the cabinet. Faulty sensors, a failed compressor or loose wiring can give the same symptoms, so it pays to have the fault confirmed before swapping the module.

Changing the control module

Switch the fridge off at the wall and pull the plug before removing any covers, then wait a few minutes before handling the board. Photograph each plug and wire, then transfer them to the new module one at a time, holding the board by its edges. Once it's in, power up and give the fridge several hours to reach temperature before judging the result.

Questions about this part

Should I confirm the fault before ordering?

It's a good idea. Control modules often get blamed for faults caused by a sensor, the compressor or a loose plug. A fridge technician can test those first, which saves buying a module you don't need.
