Possible Causes

Corrupted control board firmware, Power surge damage to control electronics, Failed main control module, Loose power harness to control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the control board. Electronic components are sensitive to static and voltage.

  • 1. Hard reset: Unplug the dryer or switch off the breaker for at least 10 minutes. Restore power and check if E10 clears.
  • 2. Inspect power supply: Verify the outlet voltage matches the dryer rating (typically 220–240 V for vented/condensing models). Correct any wiring issues at the supply.
  • 3. Access main control: Remove the top panel to access the main control module. Check all harness connectors for secure fit and signs of heat damage.
  • 4. Look for board damage: Inspect the control board for burned components, bulging capacitors, or corrosion. If present, the board must be replaced.
  • 5. Replace control module: If E10 persists after checks and reset, replace the main control module with the exact Fisher & Paykel part number specified for your model.
  • 6. Surge protection: After replacement, consider using a surge protector to reduce future risk of control damage.
