Why is the refrigerator making a loud noise?
The loud noise coming from the Fisher & Paykel RS36A72J1N refrigerator can be attributed to normal operational sounds. Here are some possible reasons for the noise:1. Fan air flow sound: The refrigerator has fans that change speed depending on demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, the fans circulate cold air, resulting in some air flow sound. This is normal.2. Cracking or popping sounds: These sounds may occur when the automatic defrost function is operating.3. Running water sound: The liquid refrigerant in the system can be heard as a boiling or gurgling noise.4. Hissing sound after closing the freezer door: This is due to the pressure difference between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled, and the outside air pressure.5. Humming sounds: The compressor running can produce a humming sound, which is quite normal.6. Gasket noises: Over time, gaskets may develop noises due to a build-up of dirt and grime.

Slide the humidity control towards the "fruit" setting if there is too much water in the bins due to high humidity. This will reduce drips of water. If necessary, wipe the excess water dry.3. Use the "vegetable" setting when storing ethylene-sensitive vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, and carrots. Use the "fruit" setting when storing high-ethylene fruits like citrus fruits, stone fruits, and some tropical fruits.4. It is recommended to adjust the humidity slide to the center position when storing both fruits and vegetables.5. To maximize storage life, store fruits and vegetables without external packaging and in separate bins. This helps prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from ripening too quickly.Please note that these instructions are specific to the Fisher & Paykel RS36A72J1N refrigerator model.
Why is the ice maker not producing ice?
The ice maker in the Fisher & Paykel RS36A72J1N refrigerator may not be producing ice due to several possible causes. Here are some troubleshooting steps to address the issue:1.

Low water pressure can affect the ice-making process. Check the water pressure and adjust if necessary.5. Inspect the water line for any kinks or squashing that may be obstructing the water flow. Straighten any kinks or replace the water line if necessary.6. If the ice cubes are sticking in the ice bin, remove the ice bin, loosen the cubes, and remove any clumped ice. Then, reinsert the ice bin.7. If the ice cubes taste tainted, it may be due to unsealed packages transmitting odor or taste. Discard the ice cubes and clean the ice storage bin. Additionally, wrap or cover strong-smelling foods to prevent odor transfer.8. If the ice cubes are freezing slowly, check if the freezer door has been left ajar. Close the door properly. Adjust the temperature to a colder setting if needed.9. If the ice cubes are small, it could be due to low water pressure or a blocked filter. Check the water pressure and replace the filter cartridge if necessary.10. If the ice is wet or clumping, it may be caused by long freezer door openings or leaving the ice bin out of the freezer compartment for an extended period. Gently tap the ice to unstick or empty the ice bin and make new ice.If the troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Fisher & Paykel Customer Care for further assistance.
