Solving operating problems
The following is a list of problems you may encounter when using this appliance and some
suggestions that may help to correct the problem. If you still have problems, please contact a
Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent.
Pressing POWER does not turn on the dryer
Is the electrical cord plugged in? If not, plug the cord in.
If there is a switch at the power point, is it switched on?
Could your household power supply be at fault? If your plug is suitable, try plugging another
electrical appliance into the same outlet.
Turn off the power at the power point. Unplug the dryer from the wall. Wait 60 seconds, plug it
back in, turn it on and try again.
Check your house circuit breakers and fuses. If they are at fault contact an electrician.
Is the power cord damaged?
Dryer does not heat
Is the dryer set to the AIR DRY cycle?
Is the gas turned on (gas dryers only)?
Has the dryer progressed to COOLING? Check the progress lights.
If the problem persists call for service.
Pressing START / PAUSE does not start the drying cycle
Did you touch START/PAUSE firmly enough?
Is the dryer paused? If so, the START/PAUSE light will be flashing.
Is the dryer door closed properly?
Is there a user warning or fault code displayed on the control panel? Refer to page 76.
Is the dryer making a beeping noise? Refer to page 79.
Has the lint filter been emptied?
Is the lint filter in place?
Has the dryer been overloaded?
Is DELAY START set?
Dryer keeps stopping and starting
Your dryer has a reverse action tumble. When it changes direction it will pause momentarily,
and will then start again in the opposite direction. This is normal.
Has WRINKLE FREE been turned on? WRINKLE FREE ON is the default setting for the EASY IRON
cycle, meaning the drum will rotate periodically after the cycle has finished to minimize
wrinkling.
