If your dryer is not operating properly use the checklist below to find the possible solution. 

Pressing POWER or setting the timer does not turn the machine on.

Is the electrical cord plugged in?
Is the power switched on at the wall?
Is the door securely closed?
Could your household power supply be at fault? Try plugging in another electrical appliance.
Make sure the timer is not in the OFF position.

Clothes are still damp.

If you have turned the dial anti–clockwise on the auto-timer dryer the dryer will not dry.
Try selecting a higher dryness level.
Very small loads in the Electronic auto-sense dryer may under-dry. Increase the load size.

Pressing START/PAUSE does not start the Electronic auto-sense dryer.

Try pressing START/PAUSE again.
Has the KEY LOCK been set?

Dryer is taking a long time to dry.

Is the lint filter clean?
Is the airflow system free from obstruction? 

The Electronic auto-sense dryer keeps stopping and starting.

Has WRINKLE FREE been turned on?

The Electronic auto-sense dryer is beeping and the pattern of lights is unfamiliar.

Turn the dryer off at the wall. Wait 15 seconds and turn it back on. Press POWER and restart dryer.

If the problem persists contact your Dealer or a Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer (refer to 
page 20).
