What F16
actually means.
F16 is one of the codes Fisher & Paykel files under fans, on ActiveSmart refrigerators and on column freezers. The maker gives no finer meaning than that. It does not appear on the Ice & Water table.

What to do when F16 shows on the refrigeratorKind of codeFan circuit
A fan the control board expected to be turning is not — a motor that has failed, or ice holding the blade still.

Two fans, two completely different failures — one stops the cold arriving, the other stops the heat leaving.

The single most diagnostic pattern on a refrigerator, and almost never the compressor.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for F16 on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Count the alarm beeps, or find the flashing LED on the panel, to be sure the code really is F16.
Write down the model number and the code.
Book a service visit; Fisher & Paykel says a technician is needed.
What not to do
It is not something the owner can reset away on an ActiveSmart model; the maker's only step after identifying it is a service booking.

Fisher & Paykel refrigerator repair
Built-in refrigerator
Flush with the cabinets, serviced from the front, and almost always repaired rather than replaced.
Refrigerator column
Separate refrigerator and freezer towers, each with its own sealed system — so a failure stays on one side.
French door refrigerator
Two fresh-food doors over a freezer drawer — the most common premium layout, and the one with the most to go wrong at the door line.
