E2
Fisher & Paykel Dryer Error Code E2: Drain Pump Failure (Condenser/Heat Pump Models)
The drain pump on a condenser or heat pump dryer has failed. These models collect condensed water in a tank or drain via a hose — a failed pump prevents water removal and the dryer stops.

E3
Fisher & Paykel Dryer Error Code E3: Exhaust Thermistor Fault
The exhaust temperature thermistor has reported a reading outside the expected range. The dryer cannot monitor exhaust temperature — a safety-critical function.
Open E3 guide
E4
Fisher & Paykel Dryer Error Code E4: Heater or Sensor Malfunction
The heating system has reported a fault — either the heater element, thermal cut-out, or a temperature sensor. A blocked lint filter often causes this code by forcing the heater to overheat.

E6
Fisher & Paykel Dryer Error Code E6: Blocked Lint Filter

Symptom entry points
Drain and standing water problems
- CLN cond - The condenser on a heat pump dryer requires cleaning. Lint accumulates on the condenser over time, reducing efficiency.
- E2 - The drain pump on a condenser or heat pump dryer has failed. These models collect condensed water in a tank or drain via a hose — a failed pump prevents water removal and the dryer stops.
- E3 - The exhaust temperature thermistor has reported a reading outside the expected range. The dryer cannot monitor exhaust temperature — a safety-critical function.
Leaks, fill, and water-path issues
- E2 - The drain pump on a condenser or heat pump dryer has failed. These models collect condensed water in a tank or drain via a hose — a failed pump prevents water removal and the dryer stops.
- H2O full - The water collection tank on a condenser or heat pump dryer is full and must be emptied before the dryer can continue. This is routine maintenance, not a fault.
Door, latch, and lock warnings
- LO - The ambient temperature is too low for the dryer to operate efficiently. Heat pump dryers in particular require a minimum ambient temperature.
