🏆 Review & price summary
The Fisher & Paykel RF540ADUX6 fridge freezer is a large freestanding French-door model with 569 litres of net capacity, a frost-free bottom freezer and a strong feature set. ActiveSmart Foodcare, humidity-controlled produce bins, adaptive defrost and an inverter-controlled compressor support consistent everyday cooling, while filtered water, automatic ice and smart controls add convenience.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 569 litres of verified net storage, including a spacious 417-litre refrigerator section
- ✓ French-door layout with a full-extension bottom freezer drawer and flexible adjustable storage
- ✓ ActiveSmart Foodcare, humidity control, adaptive defrost and a frost-free freezer
- ✓ Filtered water dispenser, automatic internal ice maker and Ice Boost function

Worth considering
- E energy rating, with higher annual consumption than more efficient fridge freezers in better label classes
- 42dBA noise output and noise emissions class D, so it is not among the quietest large fridge freezers
- The 900mm width, required ventilation clearances and 1, 790mm height demand a spacious installation area
- The filtered water dispenser and ice maker require a plumbed water connection, plus periodic replacement of the water filter

Storage and layout
The Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer provides 569 litres of total net storage, split between a 417-litre refrigerator compartment and a 152-litre freezer. The French-door layout gives the fridge section a wide, accessible opening, while the bottom freezer uses a full-extension drawer for easier access to frozen food.
Storage includes three adjustable glass shelves, six adjustable door shelves, two covered door shelves, two deli bins, two fruit and vegetable bins and four stackable bottle holders. That is a flexible arrangement for large weekly shops, although the freezer occupies a smaller share of the overall capacity than the refrigerator section.
Cooling and food care
ActiveSmart Foodcare adjusts airflow to help maintain a more stable temperature as the doors are opened. The humidity-control system uses adjustable slides in the produce bins to create separate storage conditions for fruit and vegetables.
The appliance has an inverter-controlled compressor, adaptive defrost and a frost-free freezer. Fast Freeze, Bottle Chill, door alarms and Sabbath mode add useful everyday controls, while the 42dBA noise output should keep operation relatively unobtrusive in an open-plan kitchen.
Water, ice and smart controls
The Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer has a slimline filtered-water dispenser in the door and an automatic internal ice maker with a dedicated freezer bin. Ice Boost can increase ice production by up to 30%, and the ice maker can be switched off when extra freezer space is more useful.
It is a smart appliance with alerts and notifications, remote operation, software updates and a SmartTouch control panel. The dispenser and ice maker require a plumbed water connection, so installation is more involved than with a non-plumbed fridge freezer.
Energy and installation
The appliance carries an E energy rating and uses 297kWh per year according to its product information sheet. This places its efficiency in the lower part of the current energy-label scale, despite the inclusion of adaptive defrost and an inverter-controlled compressor.
At 900mm wide, 1,790mm high and 695mm deep, it needs a suitably spacious location rather than a standard 600mm appliance gap. The installation documentation specifies additional clearances and requires the water connection to be installed by a qualified plumber or trained service technician.
Build and ownership
The exterior uses real stainless steel with an EZKleen anti-fingerprint finish, while the interior uses solid glass shelving and LED lighting. Spill-safe shelves, covered storage areas and door alarms add practical protection against everyday mess and forgotten doors.
The manufacturer’s UK product information sheet states a minimum guarantee period of 60 months. Replacement water filters are a recurring ownership requirement, with the installation documentation advising replacement when indicated and generally every six months.
