What to do when H2O FULL shows on the dryer

### Kind of code Water system (ventless)

On a ventless dryer, the water it pulls from the load is not reaching the container or the drain — a full tank, a blocked condenser or a pump that is not running.

### Usually leads to Ventless condenser and pump repair

Heat-pump and condenser dryers that leak, stop with a full-tank warning or take hours, repaired at the exchanger, pump and filters.

### Shows up as Dryer Stops Mid-Cycle

The dryer starts normally, then shuts off partway through, sometimes restarting after it cools.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for H2O FULL on its dryers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Pull the tank out by its handle at the top left, keeping it level with both hands, and pour the water away.

02

Slide the tank back in securely and touch Start/Pause to resume.

03

If a drain hose is set up, check that it is still attached at the back and is not kinked, squashed or blocked.

04

Book a visit if H2O FULL shows with an empty tank or a clear hose.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [ventless condenser and pump repair](https://dryerrepair.center/services/ventless-condenser-and-pump-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

H2O FULL is not a leak; the water is where it belongs, in the tank.

## Questions about H2O FULL.

### Can I clear H2O FULL myself?

Pull the tank out by its handle at the top left, keeping it level with both hands, and pour the water away. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why did my Fisher & Paykel dryer cool down before H2O FULL appeared?

When the tank fills mid-cycle, the dryer runs a few minutes of cool tumbling first, then pauses and beeps. Emptying the tank and pressing Start/Pause picks the cycle back up.

### Can I stop H2O FULL from coming up on a Fisher & Paykel condensing dryer?

Yes, by emptying the tank after every load or by connecting the drain hose so the water goes straight to a drain. With the hose in use, the tank does not need emptying.
