A machine that will not cool is a fan, a defrost circuit, a damper or a control far more often than it is refrigerant, and every one of those is checked and excluded before this word is used. ### Prove it is the sealed system Most cabinets that arrive at this page do not belong here.

It is called sealed because it is meant to be opened once, at the factory. Everything else in a refrigerator moves cold around; only this makes it. ### Why this is the last page you should reach Because the great majority of “it is not cooling” calls are not this. Airflow, defrost, dampers, door seals, condensers and controls account for most of them, and every one is cheaper. A diagnosis that arrives here has excluded those by measurement, and you will be shown what was measured. ### The honest conversation This is the row where we most often advise against the repair. A five-figure integrated column is one arithmetic; a fifteen-year-old freestanding cabinet is another. **Exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic**, and where a repair approaches the value of the appliance you get told that rather than a quote. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about fisher & Paykel refrigerator sealed system repair It depends entirely on the cabinet, and that is not a dodge. On a 30-inch integrated column built into millwork that was cut for it, a sealed-system repair is straightforwardly worth doing — the alternative is an appliance and a cabinetry job. On a small freestanding machine the same repair can approach what the machine is worth, and we will tell you that before you spend anything. You get the arithmetic, not a sales pitch. By excluding the cheaper things first and measuring rather than assuming. Compartment temperatures, airflow, the defrost circuit, the condenser, the fans and the controls all come before this. It is the last thing on the list because it is the most expensive thing on the list, and a shop that reaches for it early is not measuring. No, and anybody offering one is not doing you a favor. A sealed system is sealed: if it is short of refrigerant, it is because it leaked, and adding more sends the same amount out of the same hole. The leak is found and repaired, or the job is not done. It also matters legally — refrigerant handling is regulated and we are certified for it. Yes, and the arithmetic is different again. A 24-inch integrated wine cabinet holding a collection is usually worth the work; a small beverage center often is not. Same rule: you get the figure and our honest view of it before anything is opened.
