Where to buy the Fisher & Paykel RF540ANUX6 fridge freezer
🏆 Review & price summary
The Fisher & Paykel RF540ANUX6 fridge freezer is a substantial 569-litre French door model designed around fresh-food storage and convenient access. Its 417-litre refrigerator section includes adjustable shelving, humidity-controlled produce bins, deli storage and an ultra-slim water dispenser, while the 152-litre frost-free bottom freezer provides a full-extension drawer, fast freeze and automatic ice.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 569 litres of total net storage with a particularly generous 417-litre refrigerator section
- ✓ ActiveSmart Foodcare, humidity control and adaptive defrost support consistent food storage
- ✓ Frost-free bottom freezer with full-extension drawer, fast freeze and automatic ice maker
- ✓ Slim internal water dispenser preserves refrigerator storage space while providing chilled filtered water
- ✓ Useful organisation features include adjustable shelves, door storage, bottle holders, deli bins and produce drawers
- ✓ Solid glass shelving, a stainless steel exterior, LED lighting and SmartTouch controls give it a well-equipped feel
Worth considering
- The E energy rating and 297kWh annual consumption are weaker than the figures achieved by more efficient fridge freezers
- The 152-litre freezer is much smaller than the 417-litre refrigerator section, so it is less suitable for households that prioritise frozen storage
- The 42dBA noise output and D noise class are not among the quietest results available in the category
- The ice and water system requires a suitable water connection and brings extra installation and filter-maintenance requirements

Capacity and layout
The Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer provides 569 litres of net storage, split between a large 417-litre refrigerator section and a 152-litre bottom freezer. That makes it particularly useful for households buying plenty of fresh food, although the freezer allocation is noticeably smaller than the fridge space.
Its French door layout gives broad access to the refrigerator compartment, while the full-extension freezer drawer makes frozen food easier to reach. Adjustable glass shelves, six adjustable door shelves, covered door storage, bottle holders and two deli bins provide useful organisation options.
Cooling and food care
ActiveSmart Foodcare adjusts temperature, airflow and humidity in response to usage, while the humidity-control system is designed to create suitable conditions for fruit and vegetables. Two produce bins and two deli bins add practical storage for fresh ingredients.
The freezer is frost free and includes adaptive defrost, fast freeze and bottle chill functions. An inverter-controlled compressor is fitted, and the published noise output is 42dBA, which should be reasonably unobtrusive in many open-plan kitchens.
Ice, water and everyday convenience
The Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer combines an ultra-slim water dispenser with an internal automatic ice maker. Ice Boost can increase production for busy periods, while the ice maker can be switched off when freezer space is more important.
LED lighting, a SmartTouch control panel, door alarms and Sabbath mode add useful day-to-day control. The connected appliance platform also supports alerts, notifications, remote operation and software updates.
Energy use and installation
The appliance has an E energy rating and a published annual consumption of 297kWh. That is a middling efficiency result rather than a standout one, so energy-conscious buyers should compare the label carefully with more efficient alternatives.
This is a freestanding 900mm-wide appliance with a water connection for its dispenser and ice system. Installation therefore needs more planning than a basic non-plumbed fridge freezer, including suitable plumbing and enough clearance for the doors and drawers to operate properly.
