Possible Causes

Burned-out drum light bulb or LED, Faulty door switch, Loose light socket connection, Failed control output for light

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before replacing the light or accessing wiring.

  • 1. Replace bulb: Access the drum light cover inside the drum, remove it, and replace the bulb with the correct type specified by Fisher & Paykel.
  • 2. Test door switch: If the new bulb does not light, test the door switch for proper operation, as it often controls the light circuit.
  • 3. Inspect wiring: Check the light socket wiring for loose connections or damage. Repair as needed.
  • 4. Control board: On models where the control board drives the light, a failed output may require control replacement if all other components are good.
