Solving drying problems
Linting Problems
Is the lint bucket full? When lint reaches the top of the transparent section of the bucket it
needs emptying.
Have you separated lint-shedding garments (eg towels) from lint receiving garments (eg
synthetics).
Have you checked your pockets for tissues or other items that could have been left in them?
Have you over-loaded your dryer? Over-loading can result in linting problems due to reduced
airflow and lint not being able to collect on the filter.
Have you over-dried your load? Over-drying can cause lint-attracting static electricity. Try a
lower Dryness Setting or use AUTO-SENSING instead of TIME DRY.
Is the lint bucket in place?
Static problems
Have your clothes been over-dried? Choose a lower dryness setting.
Have you used fabric softener? Place fabric softener sheets in the dryer.
Items shrinking
Has the load been over-dried? Choose a lower dryness setting.
Is tumble-drying recommended? Check care labels inside garments.
If you selected TIME DRY - did you set it to dry for too long?
Has the correct temperature been used to dry the garment? Check the care label.
Clothes are wrinkled
Does the load sit higher than the lint bucket? Your dryer is over-loaded, decrease the load
size.
Did you remove your clothes as soon as the dryer was finished? Use the WRINKLE FREE
option, if you cannot return to the dryer in time.
Have your clothes been over-dried? Select a lower dryness level. Check your garments care-
labels.
Drum door will not open
Is the electrical cord plugged in? If not, plug the cord in and switch power on.
A power failure may have occurred. Please refer to page 52 for more information, or contact
your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Agent.
Lid will not open
Is the WRINKLE FREE option selected? Press START/PAUSE to open the lid.
Dryer has stopped during the cycle with the white WRINKLE FREE light illuminated and the
LCD screen blank.
Your dryer may be experiencing a low voltage supply. Without enough electricity it cannot
function. Once the line voltage returns to normal the dryer will recommence the interrupted
cycle. If the problem persists call for service.
