Affected model series SmartLoad dryer — confirm the rating-plate model before acting
Quick answer

Fisher & Paykel Dryer alert 24: typical presentation, safe checks, and when to call an independent tech.

Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so 24 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Signs

Symptoms you may notice

Before you call

Safe checks you can make

These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.

  • Check that the door is fully closed.
  • Clean the lint filter and check that the exhaust vent/ducting is not blocked or crushed.
  • Confirm the load is not overloaded.
  • Switch the dryer off at the wall, wait about 60 seconds, then switch back on and retry once.
  • Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.

Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, remove covers, or access wiring, the heater, or the motor. Do not bypass the door safety switch. If your model is gas-heated and you ever smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and contact your gas provider and a qualified technician. If you notice smoke, sparks, or a burning smell, switch off power at the wall and call a professional immediately.
