  • Matching the exact display code before you act.
  • Comparing severity and meaning side by side.
  • Spotting closely related warnings that users often confuse.

What happens on the detail page

  • Quick answer and severity guidance.
  • Symptom-based first checks where the content supports it.
  • Model and display notes plus trust and source context.

Fisher & Paykel dryer code table

Scan by code, meaning, and severity, then open the exact detail page when you need step-by-step guidance.

CLN cond
The condenser on a heat pump dryer requires cleaning. Lint accumulates on the condenser over time, reducing efficiency.
low severity
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.
medium severity
E3
The exhaust temperature thermistor has reported a reading outside the expected range. The dryer cannot monitor exhaust temperature — a safety-critical function.
medium severity
E4
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.
medium severity
E6
The dryer has detected restricted airflow due to a blocked lint filter. Clean the filter and the code will clear. A blocked lint filter is a leading cause of dryer fires.
medium severity
E9
The heater thermistor (temperature sensor for the heating element circuit) has reported a fault. This requires professional diagnosis.
medium severity
E71
The dryer drum is overloaded. Excess weight prevents items from tumbling freely, reducing drying efficiency and stressing the motor.
low severity
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.
low severity
Keyloc
The keylock (child lock) feature is active. Controls are disabled to prevent accidental operation. This is not a fault.
low severity
LO
The ambient temperature is too low for the dryer to operate efficiently. Heat pump dryers in particular require a minimum ambient temperature.
low severity

Common symptom shortcuts

These clusters give users another way into the list when they know the symptom but not the code.

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.
