What F15
actually means.
Fisher & Paykel names F15 in its fan group for column freezers and uses it as an example code at the top of the article. A frost-free column relies on moving air to carry cold from the coil to the shelves, so a fan code can lead to warming even while the compressor runs.

What to do when F15 shows on the freezerKind of codeFans and airflow
A fan that should have been turning is slow, stalled or stopped. Inside the cabinet, the fan pushes cold air off the coil and around the food; at the base or the back, a second fan cools the condenser so the compressor does not overheat. Ice rubbing on a blade, a package pushed against a vent and lint wrapped around a shaft are cleared before a motor is ordered.

Replacing the fan that spreads cold air through a frost-free freezer, or the one that carries heat away from the condenser near the floor.
Shows up asStandalone Freezer Not Freezing
A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for F15 on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open the door briefly and listen for air movement at the rear vents; quiet vents with the compressor running fit a fan problem.
Check that no package or frost is pressed against the fan cover inside the compartment.
Book a visit and keep the door closed; if food begins to soften, move it to other cold storage.

What not to do
F15 does not mean the column has no power. The lights and display usually work normally while a fan code is active.
