Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator Error Code F41

F41 is an icemaker display fault code that is stored in the fault history log accessible via the refrigerator's LCD display. It indicates the control system detected an anomaly involving the icemaker module or its communication with the main board. The fault is recorded for technician review and may represent either a past intermittent event or an ongoing issue requiring diagnosis.

The F41 fault code relates to the icemaker system and does not indicate a safety hazard in most cases. It will not affect the core refrigeration or freezing functions of the unit. However, if the icemaker has stopped producing ice or is behaving erratically, it should be addressed to prevent potential water leakage or further component damage.

A power reset may temporarily clear the F41 code from active display, but the fault will remain stored in the fault history log on the LCD display. If the underlying issue with the icemaker or its wiring has not been resolved, the fault is likely to be logged again. It is best to diagnose and correct the root cause rather than relying on a reset alone.

Start by checking the wiring harness and connectors between the icemaker and the main control board for corrosion, loose terminals, or physical damage. If the connections are secure and undamaged, the icemaker control module may need to be tested or replaced. A qualified technician with access to the fault history log can better determine whether the fault is active or historical before any parts are replaced.

Repair costs depend on the root cause identified during diagnosis. If the issue is a loose connector or harness repair, costs may be relatively low, typically in the range of $75 to $150 for a service call. If the icemaker module or main control board requires replacement, parts and labor costs can range from $150 to $400 or more depending on part availability and local labor rates.
