There are 10 fridges in the E522B range by Fisher & Paykel, 20 if you count the left-hand opening versions. Two of them are white, while the rest of them are variations of stainless steel or iridium finish. The E522B is a big refrigerator by F&P, and some models even feature a front mounted water dispenser and convenient internal ice maker.

The E522 range is basically a 519 litre bottom-mount fridge / freezer with a 3.5 star energy rating. It has a 360l fridge and a decent 159 litre freezer section. At the top of the range we find the E522BRXFDU and E522BRMFDU fridges, with ice and water dispenser. The integrated water dispenser gives you filtered, cold water while the internal ice maker provides clean, crisp ice cubes without sacrificing space in the freezer door.

This brilliant fridge/freezer combo permits you to set the ice maker output, allowing you to set the volume of ice you require. Fisher and Paykel even include an ice scoop with the E522 range of ice making refrigerators.

If you have read our Buy a Fisher & Paykel fridge article you will learn how to decipher the models in the E522 range. Firstly, the E522B stands for a 522 litre bottom-mount fridge (even though the usable volume is 519 litres).

Firstly, there is a “base” model number, with Fisher & Paykel this could be one of the following:

• Fisher & Paykel E331T
• Fisher & Paykel E372B
• Fisher & Paykel E381T
• Fisher & Paykel E402B

• Fisher & Paykel E442B
• Fisher & Paykel E521T
• Fisher & Paykel E522B
• Fisher & Paykel RF610A

Let’s take a look at the E442B range, we recently reviewed the E442BRMFD in our “Buy Fisher & Paykel E442BRMFD Fridge” article.

The model number E442BRMFD means 442 litre, bottom mount, right hand opening, iridium finish, flat door fridge.

Every model in the 442 litre, bottom mount range has the E442B, the rest of the full model number in this case RMFD means, “right hand opening, iridium finish, flat door”.

So the first character after the volume represents the position of the freezer component.

• B = Bottom mount
• T = Top mount
• H = Hybrid (3 door)

The next part in the Fisher & Paykel full model number is usually an R or L which determines the direction of the door opening. If the model number contains an “R” or “right hand opening” this describes the position of the door hinges from the front of the refrigerator.

• R = Right Hand Opening Models
• L = Left Hand Opening Models
• D = French Door / Drawer Models

The next section of the model code is the colour or finish of the fridge.

• T = White
• M = Iridium
• X = Stainless Steel
• XEZ = Stainless Steel (EZKleen)

The last part of the complex fridge model code describes any other outstanding features of the product, such as flat design door or water and ice dispensers.

• FD = Flat Door
• U = Water Dispenser

So there you go, a quick lesson in Fisher & Paykel model numbers.

Can you work out what the E442BRXFDU model is?
