DIAGNOSTICS
Overview
If a fault occurs that prevents correct operation of the dryer, and is detected
by the controllers, the dryer is stopped, the display shows a fault code and the
beeper is continuously turned on and off. Pressing the Power button will stop
the beeper but leave the fault code displayed to help the service technician
diagnose the problem. Pressing the Power button again will remove the fault
display and cause the dryer to try to start again.
If a fault occurs on a dryer, the user should be encouraged to turn the sound
off (by pressing the Power button once) but leave the displayed fault code on
for easy diagnostics.
Note: If the dryer has faulted and displayed a fault but the fault is currently not
displayed, most faults will manifest when the user attempts to run the dryer
again. However, at any time the “Last Fault” can be recalled from memory.
Diagnostic Mode
Entering the Diagnostic Mode
(a) Turn the power supply to the dryer on.
(b) Press and hold the Auto Dry down button, then press the Power
button.
The dryer is now in level 0 of the diagnostic mode. After initial entry into the
diagnostic mode, the Start/Pause button operates the dryer as normal. Press
the Auto Dry up or down buttons to scroll through the fault levels.
There are several levels of diagnostics, most of which are used in
development and production. These levels may bring on various LEDs, but
the level of use for the service technician is that of the last fault.
Last Fault
To enter the last fault diagnostics, enter the diagnostic mode as described
above, then press the Auto Dry up button three times. The last fault will be
displayed on the drying progress LEDs as described on page 7.

6
Conductivity Contact Impedance Check
To enter the conductivity contact impedance check, enter the diagnostic mode
as described above, then press the Auto Dry up button five times. In this
mode, touching damp clothes or fingers across the conductivity contacts will
cause the LED display to change. If the contacts, or the harness to them,
have gone open circuit, no change will occur in the LED display. This is a
useful method of checking the integrity of the sensor circuits.
To exit the diagnostic mode, press any cycle button.
Entering the Data Download Mode
(a) Turn the power supply to the dryer on.
(b) Press and hold the Auto Dry down button, then press the Power
button. This enters the diagnostic mode.
(c) Press the Regular button.
Encoded data is transmitted serially out the red Auto LED, and is be captured
by an optical download pen attached to a PC where “Smart Tool” software
interprets the data to aid servicing.
To exit, press the Regular button.
Entering the Showroom Mode
(a) Turn the power supply to the dryer on.
(b) Press and hold the Air Dry button, then press the Power button.
The LEDs will flash in a random sequence.
To exit, turn off the power supply to the dryer at the wall.

7
Fault Codes
The fault code is displayed in the L.E.D.s of the Drying Progress display
portion of the display panel as shown below.
Each L.E.D. illuminated represents a binary code. By adding up the binary
code value of the L.E.D.s that are illuminated, the fault code number can be
determined.
In the example above the fault code is 8+2+1 = 11
User Warnings
In the case of user warnings, the dryer may either pause, or “limp on”, and
flash an LED (see Detailed Fault Codes, page 8) at the same time as
sounding a user warning. Pressing any button will stop the sound, and
pressing the Start or Power buttons, or the completion of the cycle, will stop
the display of the warning. The warnings are stored as “faults” in memory
with their warning or fault numbers, and can be recalled as “last fault” on the
display, or by downloading the information using the Fisher & Paykel Smart
Tool diagnostic software.
Note: The blue Cool Down L.E.D. illuminated without the fault “beeps”
indicates the dryer is in a low mains voltage (brown out) state, and is
momentarily displayed whenever the supply power is turned off.

Detailed Fault Codes
The following are the fault codes that may be displayed. The remedy section
of each fault is the suggested sequence of repair or replacement. If the first
suggestion does not remedy the fault, check the next on the list.
Fault Code 1 Communications Error.
Communications failure between the sensor module and motor control
module.
Remedy: (1) Check the continuity of the module interconnecting harness.
(2) Replace the sensor module.
(3) Replace the motor control module.
Fault Code 2 Drum Gap Cannot be Located.
Remedy: (1) Ensure the sensor module is correctly located and clipped
into place.
(2) Replace the lens on the sensor module.
(3) Replace the sensor module.
(4) Remove the top deck and clean the drum sensing “bumps”
on the outside of the drum end.
(5) Replace the drum.

9
Fault Code 3 Drum Stalled.
Remedy: (1) If there is mechanical movement of the drum, but this fault
code is appearing, follow the procedures for fault code 2.
(2) If there is no mechanical movement of the drum, check drum
movement mechanisms: belt, motor and motor harness.
(3) Replace the motor control module.
(4) Replace the motor.
Fault Code 4 Invalid Option Link Read.
The motor control module heat source option link read is invalid.
Remedy: Replace the motor control module.
Fault Code 6 Door Jammed - User Warning.
The door is unable to close due to either clothes catching or an excessive
closing load.
Remedy: (1) Remove the obstruction.
(2) Reposition or remove some of the load.
(3) Fix the cause of binding in the door closing mechanism.
(4) Replace the motor.

10
Fault Code 7 Motor Current Excessive.
Remedy: (1) Free up the dryer. Remove overload or cause of jamming.
(2) Replace the motor control module.
(3) Replace the motor.
Fault Code 8 Exhaust Sensor Over Temperature.
The exhaust sensor measures over temperature (fire detection, element short
circuit or low resistance).
Remedy: (1) Check the integrity of the sensor circuit checking particularly
for short circuits. Approximate resistances (+10%) at various
temperatures are; 32°F (0°C) = 33 KOhms, 72°F (22°C) =
11 KOhms, 104°F (40°C) = 5 KOhms. Replace thermistor
and harness if out of range.
(2) Check the element integrity in that it switches off when the
dryer is stopped.
(3) Replace the motor control module.
(4) Replace the sensor module.
Fault Code 9 Exhaust Sensor Under Temperature.
The exhaust sensor measures under temperature (open circuit or not plugged
in).
Remedy: Refer to steps for over temperature fault (fault code 8) above, but
open circuit likely.
