F1 means a fault on the fridge evaporator sensor of the REF24BMBPNB.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The Bertazzoni REF24BMBPNB manual lists F1 as a fridge evaporator sensor fault; the refrigerator still cools.
Source of the entry
A single manual in our set defines F1: the installation and user manual for the REF24BMBPNB built-in bottom-mount refrigerator. It sits at the top of the list in Section 11, Fault Display, as the fridge evaporator sensor.
What the manufacturer says to do
The text before the list explains that when the sensors find a fault, an alert appears on the temperature display. Cooling carries on, but a professional service engineer should be called to check the appliance.
About the sensor
The evaporator is the cold coil that chills air for the fresh food compartment, and a sensor near it reports on that part of the system. F1 says the sensor is faulty. How it fails, for instance a broken wire or a bad reading, is not stated.
Leave the appliance running.
Do not take interior panels off to find the sensor.
When you call, say that F1 is the only code on the display.
The manual lists no reset for F1.
Why not wait
Because the refrigerator keeps working, the code is simple to overlook. The manual still asks for an inspection, and arranging one while everything runs normally gives a clean starting point.
