## Questions about door OPEn.

### Can I clear door OPEn myself?

Close the door firmly and touch Start/Pause. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the most common reason for door OPEn on a Fisher & Paykel dryer?

A piece of laundry pressing on or caught in the door. Fisher & Paykel's first steps are to reposition the load and close the door again.

### Is o Pn on a Fisher & Paykel AeroCare dryer the same as door OPEn?

Yes. The AeroCare user guide shows o Pn for a door that is not closed, and the fix is the same: shut the door fully and touch Start/Pause.
