What to do when Carbon filter icon shows on the home appliance

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for Carbon filter icon on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Replace both carbon filters at the bottom rear of each compartment.

02

Hold the two keys named in the user guide together for four seconds to reset the icon.

03

If odors remain after fresh filters are installed, check the interior for a spill or dampness.

Still there?

It usually turns into water filter and descaling service. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

This icon is about odor control, not cooling performance, and the compartments keep cooling normally through it. A musty smell that persists with new filters points to a spill or moisture rather than the filters themselves.
