Fisher And Paykel Active Smart Fridge Not Working

The 'butter conditoner' of my 10 yr old Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezer is not working randomly - it may stop work for 2 weeks and works again for a week or 2 then stop again. There must be a switch /thermostat hidden somewhere which is not functioning properly, but I can't locate the screws to dismantle the unit. I have a fair mechanical/electrical knowledge to rectify the problem if I can locate the screws to dismantle the unit. Is there anyone here who has knowledge in this area?

Even changing the light bulb is just about impossible. Then suddenly I found myself with the unit in my hand - but cannot remember how I did it!!! However we did have a technician point out to us that you must use the supplied container for your butter - the conditioner is set up to use this and is a bit sensitive. Can't help bk T, but have a tip which might help someone - if they're as unobservant as me. My Kelvinator fridge-freezer was bought from an aunt, who wanted a simple fridge.

It was 'almost-new,' (in contrast with the old clanger I had) and I was delighted with it. But that was more than a decade ago. Several years later, I read somewhere that butter conditioners can use quite a lot of power over time, so should be turned off if not in use. This is a margarine household. I had ignored the butter condioner, so never noticed (It's in a low light spot) that the darn thing had a little moveable switch.

And it had been ON for so many years that it must have clocked up a tidy sum on the power bill by then. So my cautionery tale is - if you're not using it, check the on/off switch. Is the butter conditioner dettachable? I remember F&P fridges having a problem like that, the problem was caused by the contacts not making properly between the butter conditioner and the bit it plugged into. If I remember the fix correctly, you need to pull the terminals down in the upper sockets and secure them, so when you reconnect the conditioner it does not push them back up.

If you try this, unplug the fridge first, unless you are into electrical shocks. This part has at least 230V on it. Hope this helps.

From F&P specialist chum... It's a bit unusual for a butter conditioner to play up like this. There is no thermostat for it. It is either a slide control on the front of the box or a 3 position switch.

It is held in by a screw behind it screwed to the side wall of the fridge, some of them don't have the screw, but in any case there is a clip at the top r/h rear of the butter cond box. You have to reach up behind it just where the light bulb fits in, pull the clip backwards and the rear of the box drops down and then you unhook it at the front. When the b/c is fitted into place the two clips at the top make contact with two bus bars inside the thermostat housing. That may be where the problem lies. See how you go.
