Page 42: Ice & Water Common Complaints
517804E ICE & WATER COMMON COMPLAINTS The following are common complaints/problems/concerns regarding water and ice, which may have occurred. Explanation for these faults is given for the serviceman to better deal with customers having concerns. 11.1 Sublimation When ice is not being used on a continual basis, cold dry air from the evaporator passes over the ice, causing the ice to dehydrate (evaporate, moisture is removed) and the ice will slowly disappear. -

Do you have a question about the E522BLXU and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Our E522B fridge freezer is tripping the electrics in our kitchen would you know why and can it be fixed? Model info in picture.
The Fisher & Paykel E522BLXU fridge freezer could be tripping the electrics due to a faulty power module, defrost element, or a short-circuited component. Based on the fault codes in the manual:
1. Fault Code 1 – If the power module failed its self-test, replacing the power module may fix the issue.
2. Fault Code 2 – If defrost cycles are failing, check the defrost element assembly for faults and replace if necessary.
3. Fault Codes 3 & 4 – If temperature sensor resistance is outside the normal range, check and re-terminate the 6-way RAST connector or replace the power module.
To fix the issue, diagnose the fault based on these codes, inspect the electrical components, and replace any defective parts. If unsure, consult a qualified technician.
