Before you book,
in this order.

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

01

Pull the lint filter up out of its slot at the bottom of the door opening, open it and wipe the lint off.

02

Check the filter is not torn and that nothing else is lodged in its holder.

03

Seat the filter back fully, then restart the cycle.

04

Book a visit if Lint cLn comes back with a clean, undamaged filter.

Cleared?

No part needed replacing. If the next full load still comes out damp or the dryer shuts off early, treat that as a separate problem.

What not to do

Lint cLn is a cleaning prompt about the filter in the door opening, not a report of a failed heater or motor.

What you may
notice with it.

The dryer problems Lint cLn tends to arrive with. Answer these at the dryer before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

A setting someone switched on, or a prompt the dryer shows by design — a child lock, a clean-the-lint-screen reminder, a demo setting. Nothing has failed and no part is needed.

In Fisher & Paykel's own words

Questions
about Lint cLn.

Can I clear Lint cLn myself?
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.
