Dryer runs but does not heat; clothes remain damp or cold at end of cycle (no error code displayed)

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool before accessing internal components.

• 1. Confirm symptom: Run the dryer on a timed high-heat cycle for 5–10 minutes and check for warm air at the exhaust. If cold, proceed.
• 2. Clean lint path: Remove and clean the lint filter and inspect the exhaust duct for blockages. Poor airflow can cause overheating and trip safety devices.
• 3. Access heater assembly: Remove the rear or side panel to locate the heater housing, thermostats, and wiring.
• 4. Test components: With a multimeter, check continuity of the heater element, thermal cut-out, and thermostats. Replace any open components with Fisher & Paykel-compatible parts.
• 5. Inspect wiring: Look for burned connectors or broken wires in the heater circuit. Repair or replace as needed.
• 6. Reassemble and test: Refit panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm proper heating.
