    Overview

    You will find plenty of space for the whole family in this 523-litre Ice & Water french door refrigerator from Fisher & Paykel. The four separate compartments help to better organise your food items, they also allow you to conveniently access what you want with limited cool air loss so your items can stay fresher while saving more energy and, if you accidentally leave something open you’ll be reminded with the handy door alarm.

    On the door of this refrigerator is a slimline dispenser providing a constant supply of cool filtered water for your household, and it doesn’t take up any storage space in your fridge. The automatic ice maker keeps a constant supply of ice cubes in the dedicated storage bin so that you are never at a shortage.

    The shelving is fully adjustable so that you can customise your internal layout to what best suits your food and beverage needs, whether that be changing the height of shelving to fit large platters or adjusting door storage to better fit upright bottles. The central freezer drawer is fully extendable and allows for quick access to frozen items without hassle, so you can store you more frequently accessed items like desserts with no effort.

    This refrigerator has ActiveSmart™ Foodcare technology meaning it can understand how you use your fridge and adjust temperature, airflow and humidity inside of the unit to better preserve your fresh food and help save energy. You will also appreciate the stylish look of this french door, with its concealed hinges, flat door design, and EZKleen stainless steel finish this refrigerator makes a bold statement in the kitchen and matches well with other kitchen appliances.

    Great features, layout and look
    I bought the Fisher & Paykel 523L French Door Fridge (RF523GDUX1) because it was one of the few fridges of its size and energy rating (4*) with plumbed chilled water and an automatic ice maker. Both of these feature work very well! We've now been using this fridge for a month, and can say it's a vast improvement on our previous one. The layout (french doors and two drawers with one sub-draw) and flexibility of the layout (i.e. use the middle draw as a fridge if you turn off the ice maker and shelves are easily moved) is great! It is easy to clean and has plenty of space for my small family, with room left over for when we have visitors or parties. It also looks very nice in my kitchen, although due to the stainless steel finish it is prone to easily being marked with fingerprints and smudges. I only have a few minor issues with this fridge: 1) it does not come with egg holders (so I kept the ones from my old fridge); 2) the french doors are quite hard to open and close due to the seal - presumably to maintain such a high energy rating; 3) you cannot fully open or close each of fruit and veg chiller drawers with only one door open and 4) when the ice maker is turned on the occasional sound of dropping ice is quite loud.

    Internal Layout is great, I can see everything
    I bought this over three weeks ago to replace my Westinghouse fridge with the same features. Fisher & Paykel has much cleaner lines and more internal space as the ice maker is not bulky unlike the other fridges. Does the job as expected. I noticed that the egg crates are not provided, which is a bit odd, but it is not a deal breaker. The water dispenser provides cold water, however it is sufficient only for a couple of glass, beyond that the water temp is noticeably the same as the one coming out of the tap. You have to turn off the ice maker manually when the ice bin is full, unlike the Westinghouse where it has a mechanical sensor that detects full bin and stops the ice maker from generating the next batch. I love that the shelves are adjustable to fit in different sizes of food, from tall bottles and large cakes. smaller sizes in takeaway containers. Support is excellent, I have an issue with the broken shelf cover hinge and replacement is on the way. Lastly because here is a flap in the middle to seal the doors just remember to close the door with a push, as it will not self close.

    Questions & answers

    is the water chilled/cold? Rami · 2020-01-13
    Good Morning, Thank you for this question generally the first glass of the morning will be cool as the piping is located between the door panel once you use more water the temperature of the water will be cooler once you start pushing water through the system same with your hot water system at home once you turn your tap on you don't get hot water straight away you have to wait for this to come through same with the fridge this chilled water is located inside the fridge you have to push this chilled water through. Or another option place some ice in first then apply the water "Chilled". I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    With the anti tip brackets in place, can you move the fridge out when you want to spring clean or is the fridge screwed to the wall or floor? Ella · 2019-12-25
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this question Yes you are able to move the fridge out for cleaning we have the product manual attached to this item on our website for you to download and view and on page 11 of the manual displays how to connect and move. https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/public/manuals/RF523GDUX1-User-Manual.pdf I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    What does installation involve? My kitchen isn't fully installed yet. Can I get the fridge, use it and then have plumber fit it when he does the rest of the kitchen? Thx Ella · 2019-12-25
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this question like any fridge that has water connections if you are not set up to be able to connect the water up you are still able to use the fridge as normal without the ice and water. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Can the handles be removed for ease of installation? Maggie Skett · 2019-12-11
    Good Morning, Thank you for this question sorry the handles are not able to be removed and removal of the fridge doors also difficult as there is wiring involved internally the total depth of the fridge including the handles 728mm so you need to check all entrances and doorways that this will fit with plenty of space all the way around also when in the kitchen you have at least 20mm of air space all way around. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
