Possible Causes

Faulty dryer relay on main control board, Open thermal fuse preventing heater activation, Failed Fisher & Paykel dryer fan motor, Wiring fault in dryer circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before servicing the dryer circuit.

  • Check for airflow: Start a dry cycle and listen for the dryer fan. If the fan does not run but no error appears until E19, the fan motor or its supply may be faulty.
  • Inspect thermal fuse: Access the dryer heater housing and locate the thermal fuse. Test for continuity; replace if open.
  • Check fan motor: Test the Fisher & Paykel dryer fan motor for continuity and free rotation. Replace if seized or open.
  • Control board relay: If heater and fan are good, the main control board dryer relay may not be energizing. Inspect the board for burnt relay contacts and replace the board if necessary.
