Possible Causes

Incorrect mains voltage, Loose power cord connections at terminal block, Faulty house wiring or breaker, Damaged power filter board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the circuit breaker and unplug the dryer before inspecting electrical connections. If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, contact a qualified electrician.

  • 1. Verify supply voltage: Using a multimeter, check the outlet voltage. It must match the dryer rating plate (typically 220–240 V AC). Correct any supply issues before proceeding.
  • 2. Inspect power cord and terminal block: Remove the rear cover over the terminal block. Check for loose screws, burned wires, or discoloration. Tighten connections and replace any damaged components.
  • 3. Check power filter board: Some Fisher & Paykel dryers use a power filter or noise suppression board. Inspect it for burned components or damage. Replace if faulty.
  • 4. Avoid extension cords: Ensure the dryer is plugged directly into a dedicated outlet, not an extension cord or power strip.
  • 5. Reset and test: After correcting any issues, restore power and test the dryer. If E15 persists, the main control may have been damaged by voltage irregularities and require replacement.
