Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter, Blocked Fisher & Paykel condenser unit, Failed dryer heater element, Faulty moisture sensor, Restricted internal airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning internal components.

  • Clean lint filter: Remove and clean the lint filter after every drying cycle.
  • Clean condenser: If your Fisher & Paykel combo uses a condenser, remove it and flush thoroughly with warm water to clear lint and scale.
  • Check load size: Do not overload the drum when drying; follow the manufacturer's maximum dry load recommendations.
  • Inspect heater and thermostats: If there is no heat, test and replace the dryer heater element and thermostats as needed.
  • Clean internal ducts: Remove top and rear panels and vacuum lint from ducts and the blower housing to restore airflow.
