The File, At a Glance
Verified Models 1
These model numbers have been verified as belonging to the RB36 family. Small variations exist inside a family — your exact model is what ties recalls, known issues and repair guidance to your machine. Where a section is missing on this page, it is because we have nothing confirmed to put in it — not because there is nothing to find.
Ownership
How We See It
Living with a RB36 is ownership at architectural scale — the machine was installed once and intends to stay. Day to day, keep the condenser serviced on schedule and let the pros handle the rest — these are built to be kept alive indefinitely.
No recalls on our record for this family. We watch official CPSC recall notices continuously to keep you protected — if anything ever changes, it will show up here.
Refrigeration receives an additional three years on the sealed system, for five years total parts and labor.
Warranty info →Coverage varies by year and region. Confirm yours with Fisher & Paykel against your exact model to be sure.
Service
What to Expect
Fisher & Paykel runs its own techs in certain big cities only — everywhere else, service comes from independent authorized companies. Parts for older machines thin out faster than mainstream brands, so know your path before a repair, not during one.
Fisher & Paykel books service directly through the brand, online or by phone. In larger metro areas that often means a dedicated Fisher & Paykel technician; elsewhere an authorized partner takes the job. Out of warranty, brand-experienced techs are worth seeking out — the machines reward familiarity, especially the DishDrawers.
Data You Can Trust
This page draws on the ApplianceEdge Registry — 2,640 appliance families connected to more than 18,200 verified models, independently researched. We don’t know everything about this family yet, and we won’t pretend to: finish records, recurring platform reports, parts availability, and filter and accessory cross-references for this platform are still being verified. We only publish what we can stand behind, and the gaps close as the Registry grows.
ApplianceEdge assessments — lifespans, repair values, and reliability notes — are our editorial opinions, built from documented third-party sources: owner reports, industry pricing data, manufacturer literature, and official records. They describe patterns across a product family, not any individual machine; your experience may differ. Recall information links directly to official CPSC notices. We accept no payment from manufacturers, and no brand influences what we publish.
