Step-by-Step DIY Fix Guide
- SAFETY: No safety risk.
- Locate the keylock button or combination on your model (consult the owner's manual — it varies by model).
- Press and hold the keylock button for 3–5 seconds until the lock indicator disappears.
- Controls should now respond normally.
If the door warning comes back
- If the door closes normally but the warning keeps returning, the latch or switch path becomes more likely than a simple alignment issue.
- If airflow still seems weak after the basic checks, the fan path or a deeper obstruction becomes more likely.
- The keylock indicator does not clear after holding the button for 5 seconds
What This Error Means
The Keyloc fault code on your Fisher & Paykel Dryer means: The keylock (child lock) feature is active. Controls are disabled to prevent accidental operation. This is not a fault. Also displayed as Key Loc, KEYLOC on some models.
Most common cause: child lock activated intentionally or accidentally.
No professional service needed.
What users usually notice before this code
Fisher & Paykel dryer warnings like this usually appear after airflow restriction, repeated lint buildup, interrupted heating, or a cycle that stops without returning to normal drying.
Common misdiagnoses
- Assuming the display code proves one exact failed part before the safe first checks are done.
- Replacing a lock or latch too early when alignment, trapped laundry, or startup conditions may still explain the warning.
- Restarting the appliance repeatedly instead of confirming whether the same fault returns after one clean recovery attempt.
