Pull the lint filter up out of its slot at the bottom of the door opening, open it and wipe the lint off. ### How often should I clean the filter to avoid Lint cLn on a Fisher & Paykel dryer? Fisher & Paykel asks for it after every load. A Lint Filter light flashes at the start of each cycle as a reminder, and it flashes again mid-cycle if the filter clogs. ### Why does Fisher & Paykel treat a full lint filter as more than a slow-drying issue? Its guide warns that lint left to build up is a fire hazard as well as a drag on efficiency. It also suggests having a technician vacuum lint out of the cabinet once a year. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel dryer showing Lint cLn | DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-lint-cln/)** **[Book a visit with DryerRepair.center](https://dryerrepair.center/schedule/)**
